WARNING
!
•
Do not operate this appliance without the legs or pedestal installed.
This appliance was specifi cally designed over many months of research to meet the 2020 U.S.A. EPA particulate
emission standards and has been extensively tested in Canadian laboratories. This sytem is the most effi cient, simple
and trouble-free we know and works as follows:
AIR INLET PATH
Secondary air from the rear hole travels up the back in the
EXHAUST PATH
secondary air housing to the manifold located at the top and
shoots out laterally to oxidize the gases below the smoke exit.
The lower combustion chamber is lined with high temperature
fi rebricks on 2 sides, the back and across the bottom, with a
layer of fi bre baffl es at the top to maintain a high temperature
in the combustion chamber so that gases mixing with the
preheated air from the secondary air manifold tube are easily
ignited and burned. The appliance sides and back are shielded
to direct the heat upwards and forwards into the room.
Be sure to provide suffi cient combustion air. There are many
other appliances in your home competing for air such as: a
kitchen range hood, forced air heating devices, clothes dryer or
a bathroom exhaust fan.
After extended periods of non-operation such as following a vacation or a warm weather season, the appliance may
emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is caused by dust particles on the fi rebox burning off. Open a window to
suffi ciently ventilate the room.
If you experience smoking problems, you may been to open a door, a window or otherwise provide some method
of supplying combustion air to the appliance.
Do not use makeshift compromises during installation. Do not block or restrict air, grille, or louvre openings. Do
not add a hood. Burning your appliance with the door open or ajar creates a fi re hazard that may result in a house
and/or chimney fi re. All venting connections must be in compliance with the chimney manufacturer's installation
instructions. Clearances referred to throughout this manual are the minimum requirements.
Your appliance must be installed in accordance with all national and local building code standards and the
standard of Chimney and Appliances, Vents and Solid Fuel Burning Appliance NFPA #211. Consult the authority
having jurisdiction (such as municipal building department, fi re department, fi re prevention bureau, etc.) to
determine the need to obtain a permit. If you are in doubt about the proper installation for your situation, contact
your dealer or local building or fi re offi cial. The manufacturer
does not guarantee that this appliance and its options will
completely heat your entire home.
Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cooling
down cycles are normal and to be expected.
It is recommended that in all cases, the appliance be secured
to the fl oor. Use the pallet packing brackets to accomplish this.
