TESTING INFORMATION

Model: Kimberly™

Report # 501-S-01-2

This manual describes the operation of the Kimberly™ non-catalytic wood stove heater. This heater meets the

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s emission limits for wood heaters sold on or after July 1, 2012.

The Kimberly™ wood stove heater has been developed and constructed in accordance with all the requirements

of UL 1482-2011, ULC-S627-00 and HUD Standards and is listed by PFS TECO Laboratory Services, Cottage

Grove, Wisconsin, U.S.A.

The Kimberly™ wood stove heater has been approved for residential, mobile homes, and alcove installations.

CANADA

: The Kimberly™ wood stove heater is

not

approved for mobile home use in Canada.

UNPACKING KIMBERLY™

1. The Kimberly™ wood stove heater is shipped completely preassembled. After pulling the Kimberly™ from

the shipping box, remove the plastic from the exterior of the Kimberly™. Remove all documents and packing

material from the interior.

2. The grate/ash dump cover is a one-piece unit, and comes packed inside the Kimberly™ wood stove heater.

Unwrap the protective packaging from this piece and be sure that it is seated firmly in place at the bottom of

the combustion chamber. When tested, the grate/ash dump cover should not rock back and forth.

3. CAUTION: NEVER OPERATE THE KIMBERLY™ WOOD STOVE HEATER WITHOUT THE GRATE/ASH

DUMP COVER SEATED FIRMLY IN PLACE, AS DOING SO CAN CAUSE A RUN-AWAY FIRE.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. Read this entire manual before you install the Kimberly™ wood stove heater. Failure to follow the installation

and operating instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death.

2. When the Kimberly™ wood stove heater is not properly installed, a house fire may result. To reduce the risk

of fire, follow the installation instructions. Never utilize “make-shift” compromises during installation. Contact

local building or fire officials about restrictions and installation inspection requirements in your local area.

3. Always keep a fire extinguisher close to the Kimberly™ wood stove heater for safety, and know how to use it.

4. The Kimberly™ wood stove heater is certified to burn dry, well-seasoned wood. Burning wet wood will

drastically reduce the efficiency of the Kimberly™ and produce excessive amounts of smoke and creosote

buildup, a cause of dangerous chimney fires.

5. The outside surface of the Kimberly™ wood stove heater is very hot when in use, and could be a source of

ignition. Be sure to keep all furnishings such as drapes and other flammable items away from the stove.

Extreme caution must be used when drying clothing or other items near the stove.

6. Do not touch the Kimberly™ wood stove heater while it is burning except to reload fuel or adjust the damper/

draft control.

7. Teach children that the Kimberly™ wood stove heater is

HOT

and should never be touched. Do not allow

children to play near the stove without close supervision.

8. Always wear protective hearth gloves when adding fuel to the Kimberly™ wood stove heater to prevent

accidental burns to your skin.
