RULES FOR CONNECTOR PIPE INSTALLATION
1. The crimped end of the stovepipe fits
inside the heater flue collar. Install ad-
ditional pipe and elbow with the
CRIMPED END TOWARD THE
HEATER. This will allow any
condensation in the flue to run back into
the heater. Smoke will not escape when
installed in this manner.
2. Slope any horizontal pipe upward
toward the chimney at least 1/4 inch for
each foot of horizontal run.
3. You must have at least 18 inches of
clearance between any horizontal pip-
ing and the ceiling.
4. The pipe cannot extend into the
chimney flue. (Fig. 8)
5. Seal each connector pipe joint with
furnace cement. Also seal the pipe at
the chimney.
6. Use 3 Sheet Metal screws at each
joint to make the piping rigid.
7. It is recommended that no more than
two 90 degree bends be used in the
stovepipe installation as more than two
may decrease the amount of draw. If
possible, use only corrugated (non-ad-
justable) elbows. They are much more
airtight.
8. The chimney connector must not
pass through an attic or roof space,
closet, or any concealed space, or floor,
ceiling, wall or combustive construction.
OPERATING INSTRUC-
TIONS
FUEL
Hardwood, 18" to 23" should be split
and air dried (seasoned) for 6 months to
obtain maximum burning efficiency.
Wood should be stored in a dry, well
ventilated area. A Wooden box or crate
is ideal for storage.
NOTE: USE SOLID WOOD MATERIAL
ONLY. DO NOT USE COAL.
DO NOT USE MANUFACTURED OR
CHARCOAL LOGS!
LIGHTING
1. Set the thermostat on "High" for
maximum draft.
2. Open the feed door and place paper
and kindling on the grate for starting the
fire.
3. Light fire and close feed door.
4. Add fuel after fire is burning briskly.
Use care not to smother the kindling fire.
5. Set thermostat higher or lower for
desired temperature.
ADDING FUEL
When possible, add small amounts of
fuel each hour or so instead of adding
large quantities of fresh fuel every 4 to
5 hours. This will give more complete
combustion and less build-up of tars or
soot in the chimney.
1. Set Thermostat to HIGH before open-
ing feed door.
2. Empty ash pan regularly. Do not
allow ashes to build up to grate as grate
will warp and burnout will occur, and
you might spill the ashes when remov-
ing the pan. Dispose of hot ashes prop-
erly (see Note 11 on Page 3).
CAUTION: STORING OF WOOD
WITHIN MINIMUM CLEARANCES OF
HEATER MAY CAUSE HOUSE FIRE.
CAUTION: DO NOT OVERFIRE THE
HEATER, AS STATED EARLIER, THIS
CAN PRODUCE A DANGEROUS
CONDITION AND EVEN CAUSE A
HOUSE FIRE. IF ANY PORTION OF
THE HEATER OR ANY CHIMNEY
CONNECTOR GLOWS RED OR DIS-
COLORS, THE HEATER IS BEING
OVERFIRED.
CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THIS
HEATER WITH FEED OR ASH DOOR
OPEN. THIS HEATER IS DESIGNED
FOR THERMOSTATIC OPERATION.
OPERATION WITH EITHER DOOR
OPEN WILL OVERHEAT AND DAM-
AGE THE HEATER.
CAUTION:NEVER STORE FLAM-
MABLE LIQUIDS, ESPECIALLY
GASOLINE, IN THE VICINITY OF THE
HEATER.
CAUTION: NEVER USE GASOLINE,
GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL,
KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER
FLUID, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO
START OR "FRESHEN UP" A FIRE IN
THE HEATER.
CAUTION: BUILD A FIRE ON THE
INTEGRAL GRATE THAT IS PRO-
VIDED WITH THE HEATER.
