When using your stove, follow these safety
precautions:
• Never modify this stove in any way.

• DO NOT BURN FLAMMABLE FLUIDS.
• DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO
START THE FIRE. Never use gasoline,
kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or other
flammable fluids to start or invigorate the fire.
These fuels will cause dangerous burning
conditions in the stove. Keep all such materials
away from the stove.
• Never use a wood grate or other device to elevate
the fire.

when the door is closed.
• Never slam the door or use the door to force wood

Other safety guidelines :
• Keep all combustible items such as furniture,
drapes, clothing, and other items, at least 36"
(0.92 m) from the stove
• Install a smoke detector, preferably in an area
away from your wood stove.
• Keep a fire extinguisher handy. We recommend
the type rated "A B C."
• Dispose of ashes properly. (See page 22)
• Keep children and pets away from the stove when
it is burning; they could be seriously injured by
touching a hot stove.
• Clean your chimney system as needed.
• Outside combustion air may be required if:
1. This solid-fuel-fired appliance does not
draw steadily, smoke rollout occurs, fuel
burns poorly, or back-drafts occur whether
or not there is combustion present.
2. Existing fuel-fired equipment in the house,
such as fireplaces or other heating
appliances, smell, do not operate properly,
suffer smoke roll-out when opened, or
back-draft whether or not there is
combustion present.
3. Opening a window slightly on a calm
(windless) day alleviates any of the above
symptoms.
4. The house is equipped with a well-sealed
vapor barrier and tight fitting windows
and/or has any powered devices that
exhaust house air.
5. There is excessive condensation on
windows in the winter.
6. A ventilation system is installed in the

If these or other indications suggest that infiltration air
is inadequate, additional combustion air should be
provided from the outdoors. Outside combustion air
can be provided to the appliance by using an optional
air dispenser.
