floor protection
installation on a Concrete floor
An appliance mounted on a concrete floor does not
require floor protection.
Carpeting and any other combustible material shall not
cover Floor Protector.
If a combustible surface is applied to the concrete floor,
a clearance must be maintained equivalent to the area
reserved for the floor protector. (Fig. 1)
installation on a Combustible floor
If the appliance is to be installed on a combustible floor
or a combustible floor covering, it must be installed on a
3/8" (10 mm) thick noncombustible millboard floor pro-
tector or durable equivalent. The pad must be installed
beneath the appliance extending 18" (457 mm) in Cana-
da, 16" (406 mm) in the U.S. On any side equipped with
a door, and 8" (203 mm) on all other sides. In the US,
the pad must cover any horizontal chimney connector
runs and extend 2" (51 mm) beyond each side.

1. This appliance requires a masonry or pre-manufac-
tured chimney listed to ULC S629 (Canada) and UL
103HT (US) sized correctly.
2. If a masonry chimney is used, it is advisable to have
your chimney inspected for cracks and check the
general condition before you install your unit. Relin-
ing may be required to reduce the flue diameter to

Operation
Do not use a grate or elevate fire. Build wood fire direct-
ly on hearth. When the stove is used for the first time
the solvents in the paint will smoke off.
Wood
This heater is designed to burn natural wood only. High-
er efficiency and lower emissions generally result when
burning air dried seasoned hardwood, as compared to
softwood or to green or freshly cut hardwood.
Only use dry seasoned wood. Green wood, besides
burning at only 60 percent of the fuel value of dry wood,
deposits creosote on the inside of your stove and along
the chimney. This can cause an extreme danger of
chimney fire. To be called "seasoned", wood must be
dried for a year. Regardless of whether the wood is
green or seasoned, it should be stored in a well-shel-
tered, ventilated area to allow proper drying during the
year to come. Wood should be stored beyond recom-
mended clearance from combustibles.

instructions for first burn - Curing the Stove paint
Your stove has been painted with the highest quality
stove paint and has special break-in procedures. The
heat generated by the normal operation of the stove,
will serve to harden the paint.
Ventilate the house during the first three times the stove
is used. The paint on the stove will give off smoke,
carbon dioxide and an odor. Without adequate ven-
tilation, concentrations of smoke could irritate you or
cause damage to person and/or property. Open doors
and windows and use a fan if necessary. After the initial
burns the paint will be cured and there should be no
more smoke.
Each of the initial burns should be conducted as fol-
lows:
1. The first and second burns should be approximately
250° F (120° C) for approximately 20 minutes.
2. The third burn should be between 500° F (260 to
370° C) for at least 45 minutes. The important fact is
the paint should be cured slowly. Avoid hot fires dur-
ing the curing process.
During the curing process the paint will be gummy.
Once cured the paint will remain hard.
