these solvents wear and dull the finish. 20. CLEAN STOVE FREQUENTLY as soot, creosote and ash may accumulate. Empty ash pan frequently. Build-up of ash can block air flow to the fire and/or damage the grate. Dispose of ash properly (see #14.) 21. ALERT ALL PERSONS TO THE HAZARDS OF HIGH SURFACE TEMPERATURES while stove is in operation – especially young children. Keep away from a hot stove to avoid burns or clothing ignition. 22.

CHIMNEY CONNECTIONS The stove must be connected to either a code approved, lined masonry or manufactured metal chimney built and tested to the specifications listed on the previous pages. Chimneys perform two functions: 1. As a means of exhausting smoke and flue gases which are the result of fuel combustion. 2. The chimney provides “draft” which allows oxygen to be continuously introduced into the appliance, so that proper combustion is possible. This stove relies on natural draft to operate.
MANUFACTURED CHIMNEY REFER TO CHIMNEY AND CHIMNEY CONNECTOR MAKER’S INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION AND USE. Use only a 6˝ diameter manufactured chimney system listed to UL 103 HT. Chimney made to this listing is High Temperature rated to 2100 degrees Fahrenheit. Use chimney from only one manufacturer. Never mix brands. Carefully follow the chimney manufacturer’s stated requirements and clearances.
Many prefabricated fireplaces are of the “zero clearance fireplace” category. These consist of multi layered metal construction. They are designed with enough insulation and/or air cooling on the base, back and sides so they can be safely installed in direct contact with combustible floors and walls. Although many prefabricated fireplaces carry endorsements from nationally recognized organizations for use as fireplaces, they have not been tested for connection to coal stove heaters.
COMBUSTIBLE WALL CHIMNEY CONNECTOR PASS-THROUGHS Method A. 12” (304.8 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Member: Using a minimum thickness 3.5” (89 mm) brick and a 5/8” (15.9 mm) minimum wall thickness clay liner, construct a wall pass-through. The clay liner must conform to ASTM C315 (Standard Specification for Clay Fire Linings) or its equivalent. Keep a minimum of 12” (304.8 mm) of brick masonry between the clay liner and wall combustibles.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION: House Fire Hazards • Gasses emitted from freshly added coal must be burned or they will accumulate and explode. Never smother a fire when adding fresh coal. • Never use manufactured “coal bricks” made of coal dust and wax-type binder. • Do not store coal on floor protector, underneath stove pipe or anywhere within minimum clearances from combustible surfaces specified for this stove. (36”) • Over firing may cause a house fire.
ADDING FUEL Add small amounts of fuel each hour or so instead of piling large quantities of fuel at one time. This will insure a more complete combustion process and less build-up of tars, soot, or creosote will occur in the chimney. 1. Always open flue draft damper before removing the lids. 2. When adding fuel be careful not to smother the fire. 3. Replace lids and seat securely. 4. Adjust the flue damper and spin draft controls. 5. Empty ashes regularly.
3. Burn with the spin draft control open for several minutes at numerous intervals throughout the day, being careful not to over fire the unit. Following this process will help to warm the chimney and reduce the amount of creosote forming condensation within the chimney. 4. Establish a routine for the handling of fuel, firing, and operating the stove. Check daily for creosote build up until experience shows how often you need to clean for safe operation.
