Method A. 12” (304.8 mm) Clearance to Com-

bustible Wall Member: Using a minimum thick-

ness 3.5” (89 mm) brick and a 5/8” (15.9 mm)

minimum wall thickness clay liner, construct a

wall pass-through. The clay liner must conform

to ASTM C315 (Standard Specication for Clay

Fire Linings) or its equivalent. Keep a minimum

of 12” (304.8 mm) of brick masonry between the

clay liner and wall combustibles. The clay liner

shall run from the brick masonry outer surface to

the inner surface of the chimney ue liner but

not past the inner surface. Firmly grout or ce-

ment the clay liner in place to the chimney ue

liner.

Method B. 9” (228.6 mm) Clearance to Combus-

tible Wall Member: Using a 6” (152.4 mm) inside

diameter, listed, factory-built Solid-Pak chimney

section with insulation of 1” (25.4 mm) or more,

build a wall pass-through with a minimum 9”

(228.6 mm) air space between the outer wall of

the chimney length and wall combustibles. Use

sheet metal supports fastened securely to wall

surfaces on all sides, to maintain the 9” (228.6

mm) air space. When fastening supports to

chimney length, do not penetrate the chimney

liner (the inside wall of the Solid-Pak chimney).

The inner end of the Solid-Pak chimney sec-

tion shall be ush with the inside of the masonry

chimney ue, and sealed with a non-water sol-

uble refractory cement. Use this cement to also

seal to the brick masonry penetration.

Method C. 6” (152.4 mm) Clearance to Com-

bustible Wall Member: Starting with a minimum

24 gage (.024” [.61 mm]) 6” (152.4 mm) metal

chimney connector, and a minimum 24 gage

ventilated wall thimble which has two air chan-

nels of 1” (25.4 mm) each, construct a wall pass-

through. There shall be a minimum 6” (152.4)

mm separation area containing berglass insu-

lation, from the outer surface of the wall thimble

to wall combustibles. Support the wall thimble,

and cover its opening with a 24-gage minimum

sheet metal support. Maintain the 6” (152.4 mm)

space. There should also be a support sized to

t and hold the metal chimney connector. See

that the supports are fastened securely to wall

surfaces on all sides. Make sure fasteners used

to secure the metal chimney connector do not

penetrate chimney ue liner.

Method D. 2” (50.8 mm) Clearance to Com-

bustible Wall Member: Start with a solid-pak

listed factory built chimney section at least 12”

(304 mm) long, with insulation of 1” (25.4 mm)

or more, and an inside diameter of 8” (2 inches

[51 mm] larger than the 6” [152.4 mm] chimney

connector). Use this as a pass-through for a min-

imum 24-gauge single wall steel chimney con-

nector. Keep solid-pak section concentric with

and spaced 1” (25.4 mm) off the chimney con-

nector by way of sheet metal support plates at

both ends of chimney section. Cover opening

and support chimney section on both sides with

24 gage minimum sheet metal supports. See

that the supports are fastened securely to wall

surfaces on all sides. Make sure fasteners used

do not penetrate chimney ue liner.

NOTES:

1. Connectors to a masonry chimney, except-

ing method B, shall extend in one continuous

section through the wall pass-through system

and the chimney wall, to but not past the inner

ue liner face.

FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS

WOOD

Hardwood, 18” to 23” log should be split and air

dried (seasoned) for 6 months to obtain maximum

burning efciency.

Wood should be stored in a dry, well ventilated

area. A wooden box or crate is ideal for storage.

DO NOT USE MANUFACTURED OR

CHARCOAL LOGS

COAL

Most sizes of bituminous coal will work in your

heater; for best results we recommend large

nut coal to small egg coal (1-3/4” diameter

to 4” diameter). When burning anthracite, use

egg or broken with sizes between 2-5/16” and

4-3/8”. Note that it is important to the life of your

stove to buy coal which has been sized and

cleaned. Cleaning insures removal of rocks

and other materials.

DO NOT burn coke, charcoal, high volatile

bituminous coal, sub bituminous, lignite or

cannel coal (sometimes called channel coal

or candle coal).

STORE COAL IN A DRY, WELL VENTILATED AREA.

LIGHTING

1. Set the thermostat on “HIGH” and open both

spin dampers on the feed and ash door for

maximum draft.

2. Open the feed door and place paper and

wood kindling on the grate for starting the re.

3. Light the kindling and close the door.

4. Once a re is established and burning briskly,

add your choice of fuel, wood or coal, being

careful not to smother out the kindling re. For

coal, add approximately 15 pounds.

For the rst few burns, build small res to allow

the cast iron components and painted cabinet

parts to season or cure. Your new stove will

emit some smoke and odors from the curing

process but should only do so for a short period

of time. We suggest opening a window in the

room of which the unit is installed.

CAUTION! NEVER USE THE MANUFACTURED

COAL BRICKS THAT ARE MADE FROM COAL

DUST AND A WAX TYPE BINDER.

ADDING FUEL

When maintaining a re, add small amounts of

fuel periodically as required (enough to burn for

3 to 5 hours). As you become more familiar with

the operation of your heater, it is possible to add

wood or coal to burn for longer durations of 8

to 10 hours. But during so carelessly will promote

incomplete combustion and considerable soot-

ing along with a very dirty, inefcient re.



HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. KEEP CHILDREN,

CLOTHING, FURNITURE AWAY. CONTACT MAY

CAUSE SKIN BURNS.

NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN

FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR

SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR “FRESHEN UP” A

FIRE IN THIS HEATER. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS

WELL AWAY FROM THE HEATER WHILE IT IS IN USE.

DO NOT OPERATE THIS HEATER WITH THE FEED

OR ASH DOOR OPEN. THIS HEATER IS DESIGNED

FOR THERMOSTATIC OPERATION. OPERATING

WITH EITHER DOOR OPEN WILL OVERHEAT AND

DAMAGE THE HEATER.

ALWAYS CLOSE THE DOORS AFTER THE IGNITION.

NEVER OVERFIRE YOUR STOVE. IF ANY PART OF

THE STOVE STARTS TO GLOW RED, OVER FIR-

ING IS HAPPENING. READjUST THE AIR INTAKE

CONTROL TO A LOWER SETTING.

BUILD FIRES DIRECTLY ON THE GRATE IN THE

HEATER.

DO NOT BURN GARBAGE, FLAMMABLE FLUID

SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA OR MOTOR OIL.

DO NOT STORE FUEL OR OTHER COMBUSTIBLE

MATERIALS WITHIN THE MINIMUM CLEARANCES

SPECIFIED IN THIS MANUAL OR WITHIN THE SPACE

REQUIRED FOR CHARGING AND ASH REMOVAL.

DOING SO COULD RESULT IN A HOUSE FIRE.

NEVER ALTER THE ADjUSTMENT RANGE OR AIR

INLETS TO INCREASE FIRING FOR ANY REASON.

1. Always set the thermostat to high before opening

the feed door to refuel or stoke the re.

2. When opening the feed door, turn handle and open

door until it stops on the latch and leave it at that

position for at least 10 seconds before opening fully.

This, along with step 1 above, will allow any accu-

mulated gases or smoke to exit into the chimney,

eliminating ame or smoke spillage into the room.

3. If need be, shake the grate vigorously back and

forth to dump the ashes into the ash pan. Do this

at least once every 12 hours of operation.

4. Never smother the re when adding fuel.

5. Add fresh kindling if the bed of coals has cooled.

6. Never add fuel above the top of the rebrick.

7. Be sure the new fuel is burning before you close the

door and adjust combustion air.

8. Coal Fire - Refer to the Bulletine RC454 in this manual

for more information on burning coal.

9. Adjust dampers and air shutters to obtain the

burn you desire. The air shutter on the thermostat

control should never be closed complete when

burning coal.

10. Empty ash pan regularly. Do not allow the ashes

to build up to the grate as the grate will warp and

burnout will occur. Allowing ashes to build up may

also result in ash spillage when removing the ash pan.

Dispose of hot ashes properly (See Maintenance).
