Cer  

fi

 ed to comply with 2015 par  culate emission standards.

Not approved for sale a  er May 15, 2020.

Under speci

fi

 c test condi  ons this non-cataly  c wood heater has been shown to deliver heat at rates ranging from 12,548 

to 28,846 Btu/hr.  Emissions were determined to be 3.1 g/hr.  The default EPA e

  ciency ra  ng for non-cataly  c heaters 

was 63% at the   me of this test.  Results of CO (Carbon Monoxide)  tes  ng are not available at this   me.

This non-cataly  c wood heater has a manufacturer-set minimum low burn rate that must not be altered.  It is against 
federal regula  ons to alter this se   ng or otherwise operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent with the opera  ng 
instruc  ons provided in the owner’s manual.

This non-cataly  c wood heater needs periodic inspec  on and repair for proper opera  on.  Consult the maintenance sec-

 on of this owner’s manual for further informa  on.

This non-cataly  c wood heater is designed to burn natural wood only.  Higher e

  ciencies and lower emissions generally 

result when burning air dried seasoned hardwoods, as compared to so  woods or to green or freshly cut hardwoods.

DO NOT BURN:

• Garbage;
•  Lawn clippings or yard waste;
•  Materials containing rubber, including   res;
•  Materials containing plas  c;
•  Waste petroleum products, paints or paint thinners, or asphalt products;
•  Materials containing asbestos;
• Construc  on or demoli  on debris;
• Railroad 

 es or pressure-treated wood;

•  Manure or animal remains;
•  Salt water dri  wood or other previously salt water saturated materials;
•  Unseasoned wood; or
•  Paper products, cardboard, plywood, or par  cleboard.  The prohibi  on against burning these 

materials does not prohibit the use of 

fi

 re starters made from paper, cardboard, saw dust, wax 

and similar substances for the purpose of star  ng a 

fi

 re in an a

 ected wood heater.

Burning these materials may result in release of toxic fumes or render the heater ine

 ec  ve and cause smoke.

Smoke Detectors should be Installed in the living areas and bedrooms of your home.  Many jurisdic  ons now require 
hard wired Smoke Detectors and/or Carbon Monoxide (CO) Detectors be installed in single family homes.  If you are not 
subject to such a requirement then ba  ery operated detectors should be installed.  Test them regularly and install new 
ba   eries every six months.  A smoke detector installed in the same room as a wood heater should be situated as far away 
from the heater as possible to prevent accidental ac  va  on when ligh  ng or refueling the 

fi

 re.  Smoke and CO detectors 

should be installed per the manufacturer’s instruc  ons and code requirements.
