Heartland Wood Stove - Manual (Page 5)

Getting Acquainted
The Artisan stove is a time proven heating and cooking
appliance. Take your time to acquaint yourself with the
principles on which your new stove operates as a heater
and a cooking stove.
Familiarizing yourself with the primary principles of the air
intake controls, the oven damper, the flame path for the
fire and the relationship to the chimney will give you a very
comprehensive understanding of what you are trying to
accomplish with the stove.
Save These Instructions
Keep the manual available for future reference. The
manual is an important part of your stove. If your stove is
sold, deliver the manual to the new owner along with the
stove.
The quality of the installation (especially the chimney
connector and chimney), and the quality of the fuel being
burned will affect the performance of your stove, but the
most important factor is the way you operate the stove.
With the help of this manual, you will learn how to
effectively heat and cook with your stove. Be sure to read
it entirely, including the terms of reference and function.
In addition, your own experience will help you to learn the
role that the chimney plays in stove performance. The
Artisan has been tested and is listed by Warnock Hersey.
The test standards are ULC S-627 for Canada and UL
1482 for U.S.
The Artisan is listed for burning wood only. Do not burn
other materials or garbage. The Artisan is not listed for
installation in mobile homes. Do not install the stove in
mobile homes.
Safety Notice: If your stove is not properly installed
and maintained, a house fire may result. For your
safety, follow all installation, operation and
maintenance directions. Contact local building
officials about restrictions and installation inspection
requirements in your area. (“Makeshift” compromises
in the installation may result in hazardous conditions,
including a house fire.)
Note: DO NOT connect to or use in conjunction with any
air distribution ductwork. This stove is not approved for
such installations.
DO NOT use chemical fluids to start the fire.
DO NOT burn garbage or flammable fluids such as
gasoline or engine oil.
CAUTION: Stove is hot while in operation. Keep children,
clothing and furniture away. Contact may cause skin
burns.
Spend some time becoming familiar with the various parts
of the stove by operating them before you burn your stove.
After a few weeks of operating the stove, re-read this
manual. Many of the procedures will become clearer after
you have had some experience with the stove.
The serial number is located on a pull-out plate at the
bottom right hand side of the front of the unit. The listed
rating plate is located on the back wall of the unit.
