Stove Safety When properly maintained and operated your stove should give you many years of service. However, there are important safety aspects of these products that you need to be aware of when operating a wood stove. 1. Hi Flame recommends that you have your new stove installed by a professional installer of solid fuel burning appliances. 2. If this room heater is not properly installed, a house fire may result. To reduce the risk of fire, follow the installation instructions.
Check Building Codes • • • • When installing, operating and maintaining your stove, follow the guidelines presented in these instructions, and make them available to anyone using or servicing the stove. Your city, town, county or province may require a building permit to install a solid fuel burning appliance. In the U.S.
The floor protection If the stove is to be installed on a combustible floor, it must be placed on a non-combustible hearth pad. In the USA, the floor protector must extend 8” beyond each side of the fuel loading door and 16” to the front (18” to the front in Canada). (See fig. 4) Floor protection under the stove must be a UL 1618 Type 1 Ember Protector composed of noncombustible material for protection from radiant heat, sparks and embers.
Parallel Installation Corner Installation Single wall connector pipe A – Chimney Connector to back wall 23.5” (597 mm) B – Chimney Connector to side wall 26.5” (673 mm) C – Chimney Connector to corner wall 27.5” (699 mm) D – Unit to back wall 19” (483 mm) E – Unit to side wall 14” (356 mm) F – Unit to corner wall 17” (432 mm) Well sealed flue system Only materials and items approved for solid fuel stoves should be used for your stove.
The open end of the flue system must be above the height of the apex of the building and any other obstructions, such as trees, which are within 10 feet (3m) of the flue system. Failure to do this will affect the efficiency of the stove and may cause down drafts, which will mean dangerous products of combustion are emitted into room. Under no circumstances should the flue pipe be less than 6" (15.24cm) internal diameter.
Chimney • • DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE. DO NOT CONNECT TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM. This room heater must be connected to a 6" (15.24 cm) factory-built UL 103 HT chimney or a code-approved masonry chimney with a flue liner. Chimney Height A masonry chimney or a listed factory-built chimney must be the required height above the roof and any other nearby obstructions.
Factory-Built Chimney When a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the manufacturer's installation instructions must be followed. You must also purchase (from the same manufacturer) and install the ceiling support package or wall pass-through and "T" section package, firestops (where needed), insulation shield, roof flashing, chimney cap, etc. Maintain proper clearance to the structure as recommended by the manufacturer.
Masonry Chimney Ensure that a masonry chimney meets the minimum standards of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) by having it inspected by a professional. Make sure there are no cracks, loose mortar or other signs of deterioration and blockage. Have the chimney cleaned before the stove is installed and operated. When connecting the stove through a combustible wall to a masonry chimney, special methods are needed.
Masonry Fireplace There are listed kits available to connect a stove to a masonry fireplace. The kit is an adapter that is installed at the location of the fireplace damper. The existing damper may have to be removed to allow installation.

Operating Your Stove • Do not use a grate, andiron or other fuel support method. Build fire directly on the hearth. • Only open door to fuel/refuel the stove. Excess air can cause the stove to over fire. Do not over fire. If chimney or stove is glowing red, you are over firing. • Do not build the fire too close to the glass. Do not abuse the glass doors. Do not strike or slam the door shut.
Refueling Before refueling your stove, turn the air supply on high for a few moments until there is a good fire within the stove. This will ensure there is no build-up of harmful gases in the stove when the door is opened and will also get the new fuel burning quickly and not allow it to kill the fire. To reload the stove, open the door and feed the fuel in slowly, using tongs. Do not overfill the stove. It is always better to put in small loads often rather than big fills less frequently.
When you return to your stove, fully open the air control rods (pull rods out all the way) until you have a good fire and then set to normal operating level. Do not add fuel until the fire bed is hot and red. Then add a little for the first time and allow that to ignite before adding more. During overnight burning, the stove glass will blacken, but when a hot fire is established again this should burn off.
Care of glass At times, especially when the air control is turned to a low setting or when damp wood is used, the stove glass will blacken. This is caused by fuel that is not completely burned, but the buildup on the inside of the glass will normally burn off when a good hot fire is established in the stove. There may be times, however, when you need to clean the glass. To do this, use a soft cloth and a non-abrasive glass cleaner. Only ever clean the glass when the stove is cold.

Trouble Shooting Fire not burning A stove not burning is generally caused by either a shortage of air and/or incorrect or damp fuel. If fuel is not the problem check: • • • • That the air controls are opened. That there is no blockage in the flue system. That the open end of the flue is above the height of any nearby obstructions. That there is a sufficient air supply into the room and that this supply is not being taken by an extractor fan.
Chimney fire Chimney fires occur when soot and creosote that have built up in the flue system ignite. If the stove is operated properly and the flue checked and cleaned regularly, then chimney fires should not occur. These fires can be very dangerous and must be avoided.
