CAUTION: Not all freplaces are suitableor conversion to a ood stove. Chec ith a ualifed expert.
Many preabricated ireplaces are o the
“zero-clearance replace” category. These consist
o multilayered metal construction. They are de-
signed with enough insulation and/or air cooling
on the base, back and sides so they can be saely
installed in direct contact with combustible foors
and walls. Although many preabricated replaces
carry endorsements rom nationally recognized
organizations or use as replaces, they have not
been tested or connection to wood stove heaters.
Connecting a stove to such a device will void the
manuacturer’s warranty.
Steel-lined ireplaces are constructed with
1/4” rebox liner, an air chamber in connectionwith 8” o masonry. These can be saely used with
wood burning stoves. They contain all the essential
components o a replace, rebox, damper, throat,
smoke shel, and smoke chamber. Many look iden-
tical to masonry replaces and should be checked
careully beore connecting a stove to them.
Venting a stove directly into a replace does
not meet code and should not be attempted. (This
constitutes connection to another appliance - the
replace.) Combustion products will be deposited
and build up in the rebox or replace. The stovewarranty will be void with such an installation. Do
not create a hazard in your home by connecting in
this manner.

FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
Do Not Attept to route chiney con-nector pipe through the throat o a fre-place. Directly connecting the stovepipe into the
existing masonry chimney (gure 12 “Type A”
replace conversion) o the replace is the only ap-
proved method o installation. This is a complicated
and involved process and to insure saety should
only by done by a qualied installer.1. An entry hole must be cut through the masonry
and tile liner with minimal damage to the liner.At least 8” o liner must remain below the entryposition. When locating the stove and stove-pipe, all minimum clearances must be observedrom combustible suraces including mantels,combustible trimwork, ceilings and walls.Positioning the center o the stove pipe entryinto the chimney 24” below the ceiling should
insure proper clearance or a 6” stovepipe.2. Install a metal or re clay (5/8” minimum thick-
ness) thimble. Make sure the thimble is fushwith the inner surace o the chimney liner anddoes not protrude into the fue (see gure 4 onpage 6).
3. Secure the thimble with reractory mortar. Thethimble should be surrounded by 8” o solidunit masonry brickwork or 24” o stone.
4. Install the stovepipe into the thimble as ar aspossible without extending past the fue lining
(see gures 4 on page 6).5. A small airspace (about 1/2”) should remain
between the stovepipe and thimble to allow orexpansion o the pipe. Seal this airspace withhigh-temperature caulking or ceramic wool.
6. Secure and seal the damper in the closed posi-tion using high-temp caulking, ceramic wool,or urnace cement. Also check to see i thechimney has a cleanout. I it does, make sure itis closed and sealed as well. A leaky cleanoutwill greatly reduce drat eciency.

This stove is designed to burn
wOOD FUEL ONLY.Hardwood, 18” to 20” should be split and air
dried (seasoned), or 6 months to obtain maximum
burning eciency. Wood should be stored in a dry,
well ventilated area.
NOTICE: USE SOLID wOOD mATERIALS ONLY.
DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAmmABLEFLUIDS. DO NOT USE COAL AS COAL OR
CHARCOAL wILL DESTROY THE GRATE AND/ OR THE FIREBOX.
NOTE: A 2” layer o sand or a layer o frebric should be used as botto insulation in theBoxood stove. An optional cast iron grate,26G, ay be used instead o frebric or
sand. See Accessory Sheet included iththis anual or ordering inoration.
LIGHTING1. Open drat damper ully to provide maximum
drat.
2. Open the eed door and place several wads o crushed paper in the rebox.
3. Lay small stacks o kindling on the paper tostart the re.
4. Light the paper and kindling, close the door
and secure tightly.5. Add uel ater re is burning briskly. Use care
not to smother the kindling re when addingwood. Close the door and secure tightly.
6. Adjust the drat damper and slide dratcontrol. The more closed the slide drat is set,the lower and slower the re will burn. Themore open, the aster and hotter the re willburn. Do not over re the stove.
ADDING FUEL
Add small amounts o uel each hour or soinstead o piling large quantities o uel at one
time. This will insure a more complete combustion
process and less buildup o tars, soot, or creosote
will occur in the chimney.1. Always open drat damper beore opening the
eed door.
2. When adding uel be careul not to smother there.
