SPECIAL NOTE:
DUE TO ASH BUILDUP, IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED
TO HAVE YOUR STOVE PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED
AND SERVICED ANNUALLY. THIS INCLUDES ALL
PARTS OF THE STOVE, AND THE VENTING SYSTEM.
Prevent Rust & Corrosion:
Always empty the hopper when not burning for more
than a week. When left standing for long periods
with wet coal, the feed system will rust and corrode,
causing it to seize. If the stoker is then turned "on",
damage to the pusher assembly and feed motor could
result. This will be considered neglect and will void
the warranty on those parts. Always check to see that
moving parts are free before using, if the unit has not
been burned for a period of time. This can best be
determined by running a "Test" cycle and watching the
cam block and pusher arm inside the right rear door.
Wet Coal
Freshlydeliveredcoaliswatereddowntoeliminatedust
whenloadingandunloading.Wetricecoaldoesnotow
aswellasdrycoal.Wedonotrecommendburningwet
coal;however,werealizeifit'stheonlycoalyouhave,itis
bettertoburnitthantobecold.Ifyoumustburnwetcoal,
thefeedratewilllikelyneedincreased.Doingthisonce
ortwiceayearwillnotdamageyourstoveaslongasit
ishotandburning.Damageiscausedwhenthehopper
is left with wet coal in it while the stove is cold. This will
causerustandcorrosionanditistotallytheoperator’s
fault. Afterthecoaldriesforthreeorfourdays,depending
onconditions,itwillowandfeedproperly.
NEVER SLEEP IN THE SAME ROOM WITH ANY COAL BURNING STOVE.
Carbonmonoxide,referredtoasCO,isacolorless,odorless
gasthatisproducedduringcombustionofcoalandother
fuels. CO fumes are toxic and can be fatal.
TheSuper-Magnumisanaturaldraftsystemwhichrelies
onaproperlydesignedchimneytoremoveCOandother
combustionby-productsfromthestove.
Eventhoughthisstoveisdesignedtobeassafeaspossible,
itisimportantthatyouinstall a CO detector. This is true
foroil,gas,orwoodburningproductsaswell.
COisnotspecicallyheavierorlighterthanair.Therefore,
itisbesttoinstallthedetectorattabletoplevelratherthan
ontheceilinglikeasmokedetector.
COdetectorsareverysensitiveandmaysoundanalarm
forfumesotherthanCOorCOfromsourcesotherthanthe
stovesuchascarorlawnmowerexhaust.
If the alarm sounds
1.Increaseventilationbyopeningwindowsordoors.
2.Makesurethestovedoorsandhopperlidareclosedand
latched.
3.Checkstoveforelectricalpowerandnormaloperation.
4.Checkchimneyforpossibleblockageordown-draft.
5.Checkforfalsealarm.
Never use gasoline, lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal
