American Energy Systems Ovation - Manual (Page 4)

Version 7.1 4
Warning: Country Flame strongly recommends products be installed and serviced by
professionals who are certified by the Chimney Safety Institute of America or the National
Fireplace Institute (U.S.) or Wood Energy Technical Training (Canada). Improper
installation can produce property damage or personal injury.
Warning: Do not operate the appliance if the door glass is broken or a door gasket is missing or
damaged. Use of a non-closed door or malfunctioning door or door subassembly may
allow smoke to be drawn into the room. The door should remain closed during operation.
Warning: Fresh outside air must be supplied to this appliance from one of two sources: (a) Fresh air
can either be admitted into the room (through an open window, door, etc.) If fresh outside
air is provided in this manner a minimum of eight square inches of opening must be
provided for use. (b) Or fresh outside air can be provided to the woodstove directly
through a 4-inch diameter pipe connected to the stove’s air inlet. It is dangerous to operate
a stove with an outside combustion air inlet blocked or closed.
Warning: Burning of wet unseasoned wood can cause excessive creosote accumulation in the stove or
chimney. If the creosote ever catches fire, it will create intense heat and is dangerous to
both property and personnel. Chimneys should be annually inspected by a certified
chimney sweep.
Warning: Do not install this stove in a garage or any other building where flammable materials or
chemicals are stored.
Warning: Do not connect this stove to any air distribution duct or system.
Warning: Read this entire manual before installation and use of any Ovation stove. If a stove is not
properly installed, a house fire may result. To reduce risk of fire, follow the installation
instructions. Failure to follow instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury, or
even death.
Warning: All attachments and connections of the chimney sections must be attached with a minimum
of three sheet metal screws to the stove and to each adjoining section.
