SAFETY NOTICE: IF THIS STOVE IS NOT
PROPERLY INSTALLED, A HOUSE FIRE MAY
RESULT. FOR YOUR SAFETY, FOLLOW THE
INSTALLATION DIRECTIONS. CONTACT LOCAL
BUILDING OR FIRE OFFICIALS ABOUT
RESTRICTIONS AND INSTALLATION INSPECTION
IN YOUR AREA.
Read these instructions completely before installing your
stove. Avoid the possibility of a fire by installing this
stove in accordance with these instructions as well as
national, state, and local building codes such as NFPA
211 or CAN/CSA-B365. Be sure to maintain the
designated stovepipe and stove clearances to walls,
ceilings, hearth, and other combustible surfaces.
When locating your stove, consider safety, convenience,
traffic flow, and the fact that the stove will need a
chimney and chimney connector. Your stove should be
located away from doors and hallways in an open area to
allow for necessary clearances. Review the clearance
illustrations for proper measurements from combustibles.
Keep furniture, drapes, curtains, wood, paper, and other
combustibles far away from the stove. Never install the
stove in locations where gasoline, kerosene, charcoal
lighter, or any other flammable liquids are used or stored.
The stone walls of a HearthStone stone stove produces an
even combination, radiant and convective heat. Locate
the stove centrally in your living area to allow the heat to
travel naturally to distant rooms. depending upon your
installation you may want more convective heat. If that is
so, an optional fan kit is recommended.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A
CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER
APPLIANCE
The Starlet woodstove has been tested to UL 1482 and
ULC 627 by Warnock Hersey, Inchcape Testing,
Middleton, Wisconsin.
If you use a rear heat shield to obtain reduced clearances,
you must use the rear heat shield manufactured by
HearthStone, available through your local dealer.
Clearances can be reduced either by using Double Wall
pipe or using double wall pipe and a flue shield.
Double wall connector pipe is air insulated
connector pipe which must be used with a listed
factory-built Type "H.T." chimney or a masonry
chimney. When used in a mobile home, a spark
arrester is required.
Clearances To NFPA 211 Protected Surfaces
You can reduce the clearances to combustible surfaces by
using any National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA)
approved wall protection system. Please refer to NFPA
211 for specifications and complete details. You can
obtain this information directly from NFPA.

An outside air source may be connected directly to this
stove using an optional outside air kit. The advantage of
providing outside air directly to the stove is that the air
used by the stove for combustion is taken from outside of
the residence rather than from within the room where the
stove is located. With outside air supplied directly to the
stove, drafts within the room and air infiltration within the
building are reduced. Use of the outside air kit may also
improve stove performance in a particularly air tight
house.
The outside air kit for this stove allows for the direct
connection of the stove's air intake to a minimum 3" (76
