8. CAST IRON PARTS MUST BE “SEASONED” TO

AVOID CRACKING. BUILD ONLY SMALL FIRES

ON FIRST USE.

9. To prevent injury, do not allow anyone to use

this heater who is unfamiliar with the correct

operation of the heater. Do not allow children

to use or in any way operate this heater.

CAUTION: DO NOT TOUCH THE HEATER UNTIL IT

HAS COOLED. ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES WHEN

REFUELING THIS UNIT OR WORKING WITH METAL

CABINET PARTS.

10. K

eep the ash pit section free of excess

ashes.

Do not allow ashes to stack higher than the

sides of the ash pan. Never allow the ashes

to contact the grate.

11. CAUTION: The special paints used on your

heater may give off some smoke while they

are curing during rst few res. Build small res

at rst. The metal used in construction of the

heater has a light coating of oil. This could

give off smoke and/or odors when heater is

used for the rst couple of times. This should

disappear after a short period. Once this

burn-off has occurred, it should not reoccur.

12. CARING FOR PAINTED PARTS- This heater has

a painted outside jacket, which is durable

but will not stand rough handling or abuse.

When installing your heater, use care in

handling. Clean with soap and warm water

when heater is not hot. DO NOT use any harsh

chemicals (acids or caustics) or scouring

powder, as these wear and dull the nish.

13. KEEP THE FEED DOOR, ASH DOOR AND CABINET

DOOR CLOSED AT ALL TIMES EXCEPT WHILE

TENDING THE HEATER. KEEP SEALS IN GOOD

CONDITION. DO NOT OVERFIRE THE HEATER.

THIS WILL HAPPEN IF THE FEED DOOR, OR

PARTICULARLY THE ASH DOOR, IS LEFT OPEN

DURING OPERATION. UNDER EXTREME CON-

DITIONS THIS CAN PRODUCE DANGEROUS

RESULTS. AT A MINIMUM, IT WILL ALLOW THE

PAINT TO DISCOLOR.

14. DO NOT USE the coal bricks that are manufac-

tured from coal dust and a wax-type binder.

15. Use smoke detectors in the room where your

heater is installed. We recommend installing

smoke detectors in your home if not already

installed.

16. DO NOT connect this heater to any air distri-

bution duct or system.

17. Never use make-shift compromises during

the installation.

18. For further information on using your heater

safely, obtain a copy of the National Fire

Protection Association (NFPA) publication

“Using Coal and Wood Stoves Safely” NFPA

No. HS-10-1978. The address of the NFPA is

Battery March Park, Quincy, MA. 02269.

Minimum clearances to unprotected combus-

tible walls and ceilings as noted by gures 2

through 4 must be maintained. Drapes, curtains,

furniture and other combustible materials should

be kept much further away from the heater

to avoid re. If you choose to, you may install

the heater and chimney connector closer to

combustible surfaces than indicated by Figures

2 through 4 IF a clearance reduction system is

also installed to protect combustible ceilings and

walls near the heater and chimney connector.

However, there are limits to how close the heater

and chimney connector can be installed to

combustible surfaces protected by a clearance

reduction system.

A correctly installed clearance reduction system

protects the combustible surfaces well beyond

the sides and above the top of the heater and

beyond the sides and top of the chimney con-

nector pipe.

Two common types of clearance reduction

systems use sheet metal with a minimum thick-

ness of 28 gauge (galvanized steel, aluminum,

copper) or a 3-1/2 inch (4 inch nominal) thick

masonry wall. Either of these materials must be

spaced out 1 inch from the combustible surfaces.

With sheet metal, non-combustible spacers are

used to maintain the 1 inch air space. With a

masonry wall, metal wall ties and furring strips, if

needed are used to anchor the brick to the wall.

To avoid excessive heat transmission, the spacers

or wall ties should not be placed directly behind

the heater or chimney connector. The 1 inch air

space provides free air circulation. It is essential

that there be openings at the top and bottom of

these clearance reducers so cool air can enter

at the bottom and hot air exit at the top. It is

the “chimney effect” whereby when the air in

the space is heated, it rises exiting from the top

and being replaced by cooler air at the bottom,

that makes these shields effective.

Masonry, or other non-combustible products, at-

tached directly to a combustible surface without

an air space offer very little protection and can-

not be considered a clearance reducer unless

specied materials have been tested and listed

for direct attachment to a combustible surface.

The same applies to thin veneer brick and stone

coverings. These materials provide adequate

protection only when mounted on sheet metal

with a 1 inch spacing to the wall.

A variety or prefabricated clearance reduction

systems which have been tested and listed are

available through heater dealers. Always look

for a safety listing label on the product when se-

lecting a clearance reduction system and make

sure it is designed for solid fuel appliances. The

manufactures of these systems provide specic

installation instructions that must be followed

exactly for a safe installation.
