floor protection
installation on a concrete floor
An appliance mounted on a concrete floor does not re-
quire 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 non-
combustible millboard floor protector or durable equiva-
lent. The millboard protector should be 3/8" (10 mm) thick
in the US and Canada. The pad must be installed beneath
the appliance extending 18" (457 mm) in Canada, 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.
A grouted ceramic floor-tile surface installed per local
building code considered equivalent.

Operation
Do not use a grate or elevate fire. Build wood fire directly
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 chim-
ney 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-sheltered, venti-
lated area to allow proper drying during the year to come.
Wood should be stored beyond recommended 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 gen-
erated 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 ventilation, con-
centrations 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 follows:
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 during the
curing process.
During the curing process the paint will be gummy. Once
cured the paint will remain hard.
