Blowers:
If your unit is equipped with blowers you have the option to run them or not run them. It is not
necessary to run them all the time. The blowers do spread the heat around the house much better than
not running them. There is also a variable speed control supplied with your stove. Plug this into your
wall outlet and then plug the stove into the control. You now have off and on control along with the
ability to slow the blower speed down. Be careful when routing the power supply cord. Do not run the
supply cord under the stove or let it contact the stove. This could cause the cord to melt creating an
electrical hazard. The blowers should be cleaned of dust and dirt periodically. Replace only with
original blower available from your Hitzer dealer.
CAUTION: ALWAYS DISCONNECT UNIT FROM POWER SOURCE BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO SERVICE OR REPLACE ANY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM COMPONENTS
DISPOSAL OF ASHES:
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes
should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials,
pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they
should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
CAUTION: THE ASH PAN AND PARTS OF YOUR STOVE WILL BE HOT. ALWAYS
WEAR GLOVES AND PROTECTIVE CLOTHING WHEN EMPTYING ASH PAN OR
WORKING ON A HOT OR BURNING STOVE.
COAL STORAGE:
Storing your coal is quite simple. Coal is not affected by insects, rodents, or
moisture. Bagged coal can be stacked anywhere that is convenient. Bulk coal you will want to have a
bin of some sort just so it doesn’t spread all over. Either bulk or bagged it can be stored inside or
outside because it is unaffected by moisture. However if stored outside you may want to cover it or you
will have to dig it out of the snow. Even some snow in with the coal is not a problem. Where a problem
could develop is if a very large amount of snow is mixed in with the coal. That amount of moisture
could put out the fire, especially if the fire is low.
V. MAINTAINING YOUR HEATING SYSTEM
NOTE: FAILURE TO MAINTAIN OR PROPERLY USE THIS APPLIANCE MAY CAUSE
INJURY OR A HOUSE FIRE. IT WILL ALSO SHORTEN THE LIFE OF YOUR STOVE. AT
THE BEGINNING OF EACH HEATING SEASON THIS APPLIANCE, THE CONNECTOR
PIPE, AND CHIMNEY SHOULD BE INSPECTED TO SEE THAT IT IS CLEAR AND IN
GOOD WORKING CONDITION.
Optional plated doors and parts;
The gold plating option is real gold. Gold is very soft. Any abrasive type cleaner or polish will
destroy the finish. It is best to use a clean, soft, damp cloth or a clean, soft cloth and window cleaner to
clean any of the plated parts. The pewter plated parts although not as soft as gold should be cleaned
with non-abrasive cleaners and materials so as to not damage the finish.
