CHIMNEY CONNECTIONS The stove must be connected to either a 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.

CHIMNEY CONNECTIONS continued … MANUFACTURED CHIMNEY REFER TO CHIMNEY AND CHIMNEY CONNECTOR MAKER’S INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION AND USE. promises during installation. Never use a single-wall connection pipe as a chimney! When using a pre-existing chimney, have it’s condition and installation inspected before using. Make sure that the chimney meets all of the UL rating requirements listed above. Be aware that not all manufactured chimney is of the UL 103 HT type.
PAGE 9
CHIMNEY CONNECTIONS continued … Steel-lined fireplaces are constructed with 1/4” firebox liner, an air chamber in connection with 8” of masonry. These can be safely used with wood burning stoves. They contain all the essential components of a fireplace, firebox, damper, throat, smoke shelf, and smoke chamber. Many look identical to masonry fireplaces and should be checked carefully before connecting a stove to them. Venting a stove directly into a fireplace does not meet code and should not be attempted.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION: HOUSE FIRE HAZARDS This stove is designed to burn WOOD FUEL ONLY. • DO NOT STORE WOOD ON FLOOR PROTECTOR, UNDERNEATH STOVEPIPE, OR ANYWHERE WITHIN MINIMUM CLEARANCES FROM COMBUSTIBLE SURFACES SPECIFIED FOR THIS STOVE. Hardwood, 18” to 20” 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. • OVERFIRING MAY CAUSE A HOUSE FIRE.
PAGE 11
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS continued … 6. Properly dispose of hot ashes (see Safety Instructions, item #13 on page 2.) 7. Do not overfire the stove. CAUTION: DO NOT OVERFIRE APPLIANCE. TOO MUCH WOOD OR BURNING NONRECOMMENDED MATERIALS SUCH AS TRASH OR FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS MAY CAUSE OVERFIRING. YOU ARE OVERFIRING IF THE CHIMNEY CONNECTORS OR STOVE GLOWS RED. CLOSE THE DOOR, SLIDE DRAFT, AND DAMPER IMMEDIATELY TO REDUCE THE AIR SUPPLY TO THE FIRE. THIS WILL SLOW DOWN THE FIRE. VGZ-003 / 20120711.
PAGE 12
MAINTENANCE & SERVICE HINTS ASH DISPOSAL – Do not allow ashes to accumulate higher than the slide draft. Dispose of properly. (See Safety Instructions #14, page 2.) CHIMNEY DRAFT – Draft is a function of the chimney, not the stove — do not expect the stove to draw. Smoke spillage into the house or excessive buildup of condensation or creosote in the chimney are warnings that the chimney is NOT functioning properly. Correct the problem before using the stove.
