SAFETY
ATTENTION:
• FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INFORMATION IN
THIS MANUAL WILL CAUSE A HAZARD THAT
COULD RESULT IN DEATH, SERIOUS BODILY
INJURY, AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
• CHECK YOUR LOCAL CODES. THE INSTALLATION
MUST COMPLY WITH THEIR RULINGS.
• ALWAYS CONNECT THIS FURNACE TO A
CHIMNEY AND VENT TO THE OUTSIDE. NEVER
VENT TO ANOTHER ROOM OR INSIDE A
BUILDING.
• DO NOT CONNECT THIS FURNACE TO AN
ALUMINUM TYPE B GAS VENT. THIS IS NOT
SAFE AND IS PROHIBITED BY THE NATIONAL
FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION CODE. THIS
FURNACE REQUIRES A MASONRY OR LISTED
FACTORY BUILT CHIMNEY FOR RESIDENTIAL
TYPE OR BUILDING HEATING APPLIANCE
CHIMNEY. USE A 6" DIAMETER CHIMNEY OR
LARGER, THAT IS HIGH ENOUGH TO GIVE A
GOOD DRAFT.
• INSPECT CHIMNEY CONNECTOR AND
CHIMNEY BEFORE AND FREQUENTLY DURING
THE HEATING SEASON FOR ANY DEPOSIT
OF CREOSOTE OR SOOT WHICH MUST BE
REMOVED.
• PROVIDE AIR FOR COMBUSTION INTO THE
ROOM WHERE THE FURNACE IS LOCATED. IF
THE INTAKE IS NOT IN THE SAME ROOM, AIR
MUST HAVE FREE ACCESS TO THE ROOM.
• CAST IRON PARTS MUST BE "SEASONED" TO
AVOID CRACKING, BUILD ONLY SMALL FIRES
ON FIRST USE.
• TO PREVENT INJURY, DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE
TO USE THIS FURNACE WHO IS UNFAMILIAR
WITH THE CORRECT OPERATION OF THE
FURNACE.
CAUTION
GASES THAT ARE DRIVEN FROM FRESH COAL
MUST BE BURNED OR THEY WILL ACCUMULATE
AND EXPLODE. NEVER SMOTHER A FIRE WHEN
ADDING FRESH COAL.
DANGER: RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
DO NOT BURN GARBAGE, GASOLINE, DRAIN OIL,
OR OTHER FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS.
WARNING: FIRE HAZARD.
• DO NOT OPERATE WITH FIRE DRAFT
EXCEEDING 0.06" W.C.
• DO NOT STORE FUELS, PAINTS, THINNERS,
FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS, OR OTHER HIGHLY
VOLATILE SUBSTANCES IN THE FURNACE
ROOM.
CAUTION!
CLEANOUT OF THE HEAT EXCHANGER, FLUE
PIPE, CHIMNEY, AND DRAFT INDUCER (IF USED),
IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT AT THE END OF THE
HEATING SEASON TO MINIMIZE CORROSION
DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS, CAUSED BY
ACCUMULATED ASH.
CAUTION!
INSPECT FLUE PIPES, FLUE PIPE JOINTS AND
FLUE PIPE SEALS REGULARLY TO ENSURE THAT
SMOKE AND FLUE GASES ARE NOT DRAWN INTO,
AND CIRCULATED BY, THE AIR CIRCULATION
SYSTEM.
SAFETY NOTICE:
IF THIS HEATER 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 REQUIREMENTS IN YOUR AREA.
IF NOT ALREADY INSTALLED, WE RECOMMEND
THAT SMOKE DETECTORS BE INSTALLED.
CAUTION:
HOT SURFACES! KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. DO NOT
TOUCH DURING OPERATION.
CREOSOTE ACCUMULATION CAUSES CHIMNEY
FIRES. YOU SHOULD CHECK (OR HAVE CHECKED BY
A QUALIFIED CHIMNEY SWEEP) YOUR CHIMNEY FOR
CREOSOTE DEPOSITS AT LEAST MONTHLY DURING
THE HEATING SEASON. ANY ACCUMULATIONS
SHOULD BE REMOVED. COMPLETE CHIMNEY
INSPECTIONS AND CLEANING SHOULD BE
CONDUCTED ANNUALLY; TYPICALLY, THIS TASK
SHOULD BE PERFORMED PRIOR TO EACH HEATING
SEASON. IF USING AN EXISTING CHIMNEY, IT MUST
BE INSPECTED PRIOR TO THE INSTALLATION OF
YOUR NEW WOOD STOVE.
