RULES FOR SAFE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
1. Always connect this heater to a residential type chimney and vent to the outside. Never vent to another room or
inside a building
2. Read these rules and the instructions carefully.
3. Check your local codes. The installation must comply with their requirements.
4. Do not connect to aluminum Type "B" gas vent. An approved masonry or residential type pre-fabricated chimney
for use with solid fuel is required. See CHIMNEYS above. The inside diameter must be at least 150 mm (6").
5. Make sure the chimney top is high enough to give a good draft. Keep the chimney and pipe clean inside to avoid
blockage. Otherwise, smoking will result.
6. Examine and clean flue pipe frequently to prevent chimney fires.
7. To prevent injury, do not allow anyone who is unfamiliar with the operation to use the heater.
8. Do not install damper or restrictions of any kind in flue pipe.
9. Burn wood only. Do not use wet or green wood. The wetter or greener the wood, the more creosote will be
produced. (See Facts on Creosote). Do not use artificial logs or barbecue charcoal fuel.
CAUTION
Indicates a situation in which injury or damage to your appliance, or both, could result if the caution is ignored.
1. Do not install model NS220E (Newmac Status EPA) in a mobile home or trailer.
2. Do not install room heater in a sleeping room.
3. Do not operate your heater unless it is maintained in a good airtight condition - otherwise overheating will result.
4. Do not operate your heater with the loading door open as excessive temperatures could result.
5. Do not connect to any air distribution duct or system.
6. Do not use chemicals or fluids to start the fire.
7. Do not burn garbage or flammable liquids, such as gasoline, naptha, engine oil, etc, as these may cause an
explosion.
8. Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or ‘freshen
up’ a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use.
9. Hot while in operation. Keep children, clothing, and furniture away. Contact may cause skin burns, do not touch
the heater until it has cooled.
10. Ensure that sufficient combustion air is available for the heater. Inadequate air can result in unsatisfactory
operation and smoking. Be sure that sufficient air is provided to exhaust fans on other household devices.
11. Install a smoke detector to warn of possible hazardous situations.
12. Some jurisdictions may require installation of carbon monoxide detectors.
WARNING
Indicates a situation in which serious injury or death could result if the warning is ignored.
1. When this room heater is not properly installed, a house fire may result. To reduce the risk of fire, follow the
installation instructions. Contact local building or fire officials about restrictions and installation inspection
requirements in your area.
2. Hazardous carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide gas may be produced by improper installation, operation, fuelling or
maintenance of this appliance.
3. As required by the installation codes, provide air for combustion from the outside into the room where the heater is
located. For model NS220E (Newmac Status EPA)and NC100E (Newmac Classic I EPA), if the intake is not in the
same room, the air must have free access to the room.
4. Do not use substitute materials or unspecified components. Suitable original-equipment replacement-parts are
available from Newmac Mfg.
5. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
6. Do not clean when hot.
NOTE: The special paint used on your heater may give off some odor while it is curing during the first few fires. Build small fires at first.
CHIMNEY CONNECTOR (STOVE OR FLUE PIPE)
Newmac wood fired heaters require 6” (150mm) diameter mild steel chimney connectors of at least 24ga (0.53mm or
0.0206ins) metal thickness, or equivalent. (Galvanized steel is not acceptable). Secure all chimney connector joints
with 3 sheet metal screws and connections to the appliance with a minimum of 2 sheet metal screws. For better
performance, seal each connector joint with a small quantity of furnace cement. Ensure that the vent system can be
taken apart for periodic inspection and cleaning.
Chimney connector must not pass through an attic or roof space, closet, or similar concealed space or a floor or ceiling.
Where passage through a wall or partition of combustible construction is desired, the installation must conform to NFPA
211 (USA) or CAN/CSA B365 (Canada) requirements.
