Warranty BLAZE KING LIMITED WOODSTOVE WARRANTY - Princess Insert Blaze King's warranty policy only applies to units sold in the USA or CANADA WHAT THE WARRANTY COVERS: This warranty contains different terms which cover different parts of the stove.
Definitions BUILDING CODES AND PERMITS Most areas require a permit from the city or county Building Inspector, Fire Marshal or Authority Having Jurisdiction. Check local building codes before beginning installation. After the installation is completed, it should be checked by your local Fire Marshal or Building Inspector. BYPASS All catalytic wood burning stoves have a bypass device for allowing the smoke from the fire to temporarily bypass, or go around, the catalyst.
Definitions COMBUSTION AIR INTAKE Located on the front right of the stove. Combustion air is drawn into this opening, through the thermostat and into the firebox. In tight contemporary homes, using outside combustion air may be desirable. CREOSOTE - FORMATION AND NEED FOR REMOVAL When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire.

Preparation And Assembly Princess PI1010A INSERT STOVE INSTALLATION PROCEDURE AFTER YOU READ AND FULLY UNDERSTAND THE MATERIAL IN THIS MANUAL, YOU ARE READY TO PROCEED WITH THE INSTALLATION OF YOUR STOVE. Before beginning the installation, thoroughly clean and inspect the fireplace and chimney you are using. Professional assistance is recommended, your local certified installer should be contacted to provide installation and inspection services.
Assembly - General Assembly Instructions for Princess PI1010A Insert There will be local building and fire codes which could affect this installation. Be sure you check with your local building inspector, fire inspector or other local authorities having jurisdiction in your area before you begin installation. This insert is certified only for installation into a masonry fireplace or factory built fireplace listed to UL 127 or ULC S620 which have been carefully inspected and are in good condition.
Assembly - General 3) Exact placement of the insert is determined by the overall shape of your fireplace opening and surround etc. First determine whether you will need leveling bolts installed or other devices to ensure a proper level installation of the unit. This is determined by your fireplace construction. Sometimes the hearth is raised from the bottom of the fireplace and sometimes it is lower. Use only non-combustible material to fill any space under the insert (such as firebricks).
Assembly - General 8) Slide the completed unit into its final location. 9) Place the Convection deck on the top of the firebox and fasten to the shroud top using the 2 screws provided (see Fig. 7). Figure 7 10) Drop the catalytic thermometer in place on the top of the stove. The temperature probe inserts through the hole into the stove. 11) Connect the fan to a nearby AC plug outlet. NEVER run the AC fan cord under the fireplace insert.
Installation - Chimney CHIMNEYS: FACTORY-BUILT FIREPLACE In Canada and in the U.S.A.: If the insert is installed into a factory built fireplace the chimney must be lined from the outlet of the insert to the top of the chimney with a Stainless Steel liner which meets UL1777 or ULC S635. The liner must be securely attached to the insert and the chimney top. In both Canada and the U.S.A.
Operation Your stove’s performance (including its efficiency, pollutant emission level and service lifetime) depends largely on how it is operated. You, then, are the most important factor affecting performance. Read these operation instructions carefully. BEFORE PROCEEDING FURTHER, be sure to read the following: SAFETY INFORMATION: Pages 11 through 13. CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS: Pages 2 & 16. FLOOR PROTECTION INFORMATION: page 16. The six major needs of a well-controlled fire are: 1.
Operation YOUR FIRST FIRE (continued) There are four control features to your new Blaze King that are instrumental in getting your first fire started. 1) The Thermostat located on the right front corner of the stove. Set the Thermostat on “High”. After a bit you can adjust the thermostat to your comfort zone, but for now, leave it on “High”. The increased flow of air is necessary in the first few minutes of lighting your stove.
Operation A couple of tips: Always have your next intended load of wood ready when you open the Front Loading door. Doing so will decrease the amount of time that the Front Loading Door is open, allowing for the Combustor to remain quite hot and also provide a margin of safety by not leaving the Front Loading Door open when going to retrieve wood. And always open the Front Loading Door SLOWLY. This will reduce any vacuum causing smoke from the fire box to “spill” into your room.
Maintenance ASH REMOVAL Ashes may be removed at any time, but must be removed when they approach the level of the door opening. DO NOT remove all ashes from the stove as a wood fire burns best when made on a bed of ashes. The frequency with which you need to empty the ashes depends on the type of fuel being used. Hardwoods, unless the coals are raked to the front of the firebox before each reloading, will leave more ashes than softwoods.
Maintenance GASKET INSPECTION Inspect the gasket for physical deterioration, missing sections or obvious leakage. The stove front should make a groove in the gasket material - one side of the groove (toward the inside) will often be dark or black, and the other side (toward the outside) should be light or white. Dark smudges on the outside of the groove may indicate a smoke leak.
Maintenance CATALYTIC COMBUSTOR, REPLACEMENT The catalytic thermometer on top of the stove should read in the active zone after the stove has been in operation for several hours. If the thermometer's indicator needle does not stay above the 1/3 mark in the active zone, even with a hot fire, over a 7-10 day period of regular use, the catalyst may need replacement. If the combustor must be examined or replaced, follow this procedure: 1. Allow the stove to burn out and cool down. 2.
Maintenance FAN ASSEMBLY Routine lubrication of the fan motor is not required. Periodic cleaning of the fan assembly (including fan blades) with a soft brush and vacuum cleaner will ensure longer life and maximum efficiency for the fan assembly. However, should it become necessary to replace the fan contact your local dealer. PAINT If the finish on the stove ever becomes blemished, you can repaint with high temperature paint available from your dealer. DO NOT paint the stove while it is HOT.
Troubleshooting Your Blaze King is designed to allow a wide selection of heat output levels. If you begin to lose control of the amount of heat the stove is emitting, determine the cause early so that major problems may be avoided. The six major needs of a well-controlled fire are: 1. Knowledgeable, interested operator. 2. Adequate air supply. 3. Firewood of good quality and proper size. 4. Catalytic combustor in good condition. 5. Clean chimney, properly sized and installed. 6. Door gasket tight and firm.
Troubleshooting PROBLEM. Too much heat. CAUSE By-Pass door left open. SOLUTION Close the by-pass door. Thermostat set too high. Lower thermostat setting. Loading door gasket leaking, admitting excess air into firebox Replace door gasket and/or adjust door, page 27. Excessive draft in the chimney ` Measure draft with a Manometer See DRAFTS, page 9 & 21. Consult your Blaze King dealer or a chimney sweep. Install a cap. Thermostat not operating properly Consult your Blaze King dealer.
Troubleshooting Wood too green or wet. Use seasoned wood. Combustor plugged or coated. Clean combustor, see page 26. Combustor not functioning. Check and test combustor If needed replace combustor. See page 27. Thermostat not operating properly. Consult your blaze King Dealer. By-pass door leaking or not closing completely. Inspect and clean area around by-pass doors. Adjust or repair as necessary. Consult your Blaze King Dealer.
