for all combustible surfaces and materials in-
cluding; furniture, carpet, drapes, clothing,
wood, papers, etc. Do not store firewood
within this clearance space. Failure to maintain
clearances to all combustibles may result in a

tion).

(measured from base of appliance to ceiling).
5. DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY
FLUE CONNECTED TO ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
6. Do not connect this appliance to air ducts or
any air distribution system.
7. PREVENT CREOSOTE FIRE: Inspect and clean
chimney frequently. Under certain conditions
of use, creosote buildup may occur rapidly. In-
spect chimney connector and chimney twice
monthly and clean if necessary. Using green or
inadequately seasoned wood can greatly in-
crease creosote buildup. Use dry wood to
minimize creosote buildup.
8. USE SOLID WOOD FUEL ONLY: This appliance
is approved for burning dry seasoned natural
wood only. CAUTION: BURN UNTREATED
WOOD ONLY. OTHER MATERIALS SUCH AS
WOOD PRESERVATIVES, METAL FOILS,
COAL, PLASTIC, GARBAGE, SULFUR OR OIL
MAY DAMAGE THE CATALYST. DO NOT BURN
GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS SUCH AS
GASOLINE, NAPHTHA OR ENGINE OIL.
9. Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel,
kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liq-
uids to start or "freshen up" a fire in this
heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the
heater while it is in use.
10. DO NOT OVERFIRE: If heater or chimney con-
nector glows, you are overfiring. Overfiring this
appliance could cause a house fire. Overfiring
is a condition where the appliance is operated
at temperatures above its design capabilities.
Overfiring can be caused by improper installa-
tion, improper operation, lack of maintenance
or improper fuel usage. Damage caused from
overfiring is NOT covered under the manufac-
turers limited warranty.
11. NEVER LEAVE AN UNATTENDED STOVE
BURNING ON HIGH. Operation of the stove
with the primary air control at its highest burn
rate setting for extended periods can cause
dangerous overfiring conditions. The primary
air control should only be positioned at the
highest setting during start-up procedures and
for short durations. When leaving the stove
unattended ensure that the primary air control
is set to the low or medium low range.
12. Use a metal container with a tight fitting lid to
dispose of ashes.
13. IN THE EVENT OF A COMPONENT FAILURE,
USE ONLY COMPONENTS PROVIDED BY THE
MANUFACTURER AS REPLACEMENT PARTS.
14. Burning any kind of fuel uses oxygen from the
dwelling. Be sure that you allow an adequate
source of fresh air into the room where the
stove is operating (see Ventilation on page 6).
15. CAUTION: HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. An ap-
pliance hot enough to warm your home can se-
verely burn anyone touching it. Keep children,
clothing and furniture away. Contact may
cause skin burns. Do not let children touch the
appliance. Train them to stay a safe distance
from the unit.
16. Do not operate this appliance without the fire-
box baffle brick properly installed.
17. Build fires directly upon the brick hearth inside
the stove. Do not use grates, irons or any other
method to elevate the fire.
18. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
19. See the listing label located on the back of
stove (or see Safety/Listing Label on page 26).
