ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR MOBILE HOME INSTALLATIONS IN THE U.S.A. 

!

1. The Kimberly™ wood stove heater must be bolted to the mobile home chassis, using the three pre-drilled 

holes  at  the  base  of  the  Kimberly™  wood  stove  heater,  and  three  1/2-inch  hex-head  bolts  of  1/4-inch 

diameter and 2-1/2 inches long (or the metric equivalent) which may be purchased at a hardware store. 

!

2. All  U.S.A.  mobile  home  installations  require  an  outside  air  kit  (OAKP  or  OAKL)  to  provide  the  Kimberly™ 

wood stove heater with a supply of outside combustion air. The Kimberly™ wood stove heater has a 2-inch 

(5.1 cm) air inlet under the base of the stove to accommodate such a kit. The Kimberly™ wood stove heater 

may include an additional air inlet at the back of the stove. Use one outside combustion air inlet or the other, 

but not both. 

!

3. Choose a location for the outside air inlet that will not interfere with bolting the Kimberly™ wood stove heater 

to  the  mobile  home  chassis.  To  discourage  entry  by  insects  and  rodents,  the  outside  air  inlet  should  be 

protected by a fine mesh screen on the external end. 

!

4.

U.S.A.

:  All  mobile  home  installations  require  that  the  Kimberly™  wood  stove  heater  must  be  electrically 

grounded to the chassis, and the chimney must include a spark arrester cap. 

!

5.

CANADA

: The Kimberly™ wood stove heater is 

not

 approved for mobile home use in Canada. 

!

6. CAUTION: THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE MOBILE HOME FLOOR, WALL, AND CEILING/ROOF 

MUST BE MAINTAINED. 

!

7. CAUTION: USE ALL INSTALLATION COMPONENTS AS SPECIFIED IN THIS MANUAL. NEVER OMIT ANY 

PARTS OR SUBSTITUTE WITH OTHER COMPONENTS.  

!

8. CAUTION: THE INTEGRITY OF ANY VAPOR BARRIERS MUST BE MAINTAINED. 

!

9. CAUTION: DO NOT INSTALL IN SLEEPING ROOM. 

!

10.CAUTION:  NEVER  UTILIZE  MAKE-SHIFT  COMPROMISES  DURING  INSTALLATION.  NEVER  INSTALL 

ANY  WOOD  STOVE  OR  CHIMNEY  SYSTEMS  OUTSIDE  OF  THE  PROVISIONS  OUTLINED  IN  THE 

NFPA-211 SAFETY STANDARDS (OR CANADIAN EQUIVALENT). 

!

PAINTING THE CHIMNEY

 

!

Should you choose to paint the pipe to match your decor, we recommend Stove Bright® paint, manufactured by 

the Forrest Paint Company. During the period of time required for the paint to cure, the paint will off-gas, causing 

a paint odor to be emitted. 

!

STARTING & MAINTAINING A FIRE 

!

1. When the installation is complete and it is time to lay a fire in the Kimberly™ wood stove heater, we urge 

you to “

think small

”. It is important to start with a small fire to warm the chimney and establish a good draft 

in the chimney before building a bigger fire inside the combustion chamber.  

!

2. Move the damper/draft control to the completely open position (to the left) and leave it open until the fire is 

well established. Begin with a small handful of lightly crumpled paper in the bottom of the firebox. Next, lay 

the kindling in a criss-cross pattern on top of the paper. Light the paper and close the door. Until a good draft 

is established, you may notice some smoke escaping into the room from the bottom of the Kimberly™ wood 

stove heater or the chimney connector. Using too much paper and kindling can result in a slow-to-start and/

or  smokey  fire,  “puffing”  and/or  a  backdraft. Allow  the  first  kindling  to  burn  most  of  the  way  before  adding 

more. Graduate to larger pieces of wood as the fire becomes more established.   

!

3. We have found that the glass in the door will blacken during start-up, but will burn clean once the interior 

temperatures  reach  approximately  800  degrees  Fahrenheit  (426  degrees  Celsius).  Once  the  fire  is
