• NOTE: When burning any unit or appliance that combusts fuel for heat, such as
  coal, oil, wood, or natural and (L.P.) liquid petroleum gas. We highly recommend the use of smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in your home.

• Examine the masonry fireplace and chimney prior to installation of fireplace accessory to determine that construction meets minimum fireplace construction requirements illustrated in instructions, that it is free from cracks, loose mortar, creosote deposits, and other blockage or other signs of deterioration.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE MORE THAN ONE STOVE TO A CHIMNEY. DO NOT USE A FLUE INTENDED FOR A GAS APPLIANCE. DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE. DO NOT CONNECT TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM.

• A factory-built pre-fabricated chimney may be used for your units when installed in compliance with the manufacturer’s specifications and uniform building code.

CAUTION: YOUR CHIMNEY MUST BE CORRECTLY SIZED. A CHIMNEY THAT IS TOO SMALL OR LARGE IN DIAMETER, OR TOO SHORT, CAN CAUSE YOUR STOVE TO SPILL SMOKE WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED.

INTRODUCTION

Your Buck Stove is a non-catalytic unit designed to meet the most stringent emissions standards without the use of a catalytic combustor. This effect is achieved through the use of secondary air which is mixed with primary air in the unit’s firebox. For peak performance, we suggest the use of naturally seasoned hardwood, loading wood length way from front to rear.

NOTE: Soft woods such as pine, create more creosote, clog of chimney, and produce a less efficient burn performance.

• You should not burn trash or garbage, artificial or paper logs, gift wrapping, treated or painted wood, or any type of coal or flammable fluids.
• The primary air, which is controlled by the user, burns the wood. Secondary air is admitted into the firebox through secondary air tubes at the top of the firebox. This secondary air burns impurities in the smoke released from initial wood burning. The temperature necessary for this combustion is maintained through firebrick refractory. If any more technical information is necessary contact your local dealer.
• This heater is equipped with a standard room air blower. For the operation and uses of these electrical assemblies, see the instructions provided in this manual on page 35.

MASONRY INSERT INSTALLATION
The Model 18 may be installed using an all-masonry fireplace built in accordance with the Uniform Building Code and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). The first step in this type of installation is to determine the acceptability of the fireplace and chimney for use with a wood stove. Both construction and condition of the fireplace are important considerations when installing a woodstove. The chimney should extend at least 3′ above the roof and at least 2′ above any point of the roof within 10′.

CAUTION: REMEMBER TO HAVE YOUR CHIMNEY INSPECTED FOR LEAKS AND BLOCKAGE BEFORE YOU INSTALL YOUR STOVE. “DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.”

MINIMUM CLEARANCE MASONRY INSERT

• A. Side Wall Combustible: 10″
• B. Front Floor Protector: 16″
• C. Side Floor Protector: 8″
• D. Side Wood Trim: 9″
• E. Top Wood Trim: 14″
• F. Mantel or Brackets: 21″

1. The hearth must be of masonry construction and must extend a minimum of 16″ in front of the firebox opening and a minimum of 8″ to either side of the firebox opening.
2. If there is no minimum hearth protection from the front of the firebox opening and the front of the masonry hearth, a floor protector must be used in front of the hearth to protect combustible materials. The floor protector must be 3/8″ minimum thickness non-combustible material or equivalent.(See Page 6).

FLOOR PROTECTION
Floor protection must be 3/8” minimum thickness non-combustible material or equivalent.

How to use alternate materials and how to calculate equivalent thickness
An easy means of determining if a proposed alternate floor protector meets the requirements listed in the appliance manual is to follow this procedure:

1. Convert specification to R-value:
2. R-value is given—no conversion is needed.
3. K– factor is given with a required thickness (T) in inches:
4. C- factor is given: R=1/C
5. Determine the R-value of the proposed alternate floor protector.
   • Use the formula in step (1) to convert values not expressed as “R”
   • For multiple layers, add R-values of each layer to determine the overall R-value.
6. If the overall R-value of the system is greater than the R-value of the specified floor protector, the alternate is acceptable.

Example:
The specified floor protector should be 3/4” thick material with a K-factor of 0.84. The proposed alternate is 4” brick with a C-factor of 1.25 over 1/8” mineral board with a K-factor of 0.29.

• Step (a): Use the formula above to convert specification to R-value. R= 1/K x T = 1/0.84 x .75 = 0.893
• Step (b): Calculate the R of the proposed system. 4” brick of C=1.25, therefore Rbrick = 1/C = 1/1.25 =0.80 1/8” mineral board of K = 0.29, therefore Rmin.bd. =1/029 x0.125 = 0.431
• Step (c): Compare the proposed system R of 1.231 to the specified R of 0.893. Since proposed system R is greater than required , the system is acceptable.

Definitions:

• Thermal conductance = C = Btu = W
• Thermal conductance = K = (Btu)(inch) = W = (Btu) (hr)(ft²)(°f) (m)(°K) (hr)(tf)(°F)
• Thermal conductance = R = (ft²)(hr)(°F) = (m²)(°K)(hr)(ft²)(°F) (m²)(°K) Btu W
• Install in accordance with 24 CFR, Part 3280 (HUD).

POSSIBLE TOOLS NEEDED FOR INSTALLATION

If you decide to install your own stove, there are several hand tools you may need to do job. If you do not already have them, they are readily available at most hardware stores.

Caulking gun

• Large adjustable wrench (may not be needed)
• Drop cloths or newspapers
• Vacuum cleaner or whisk broom

Flashlight

• 1 tube of RTV silicone, Code 103 or 106, or high-temperature rubber cement rated between 450o F- 600o F 7/32″ drill bit and drill
• Socket/Rachet Set

INSTALLATION PREPARATION-FIREPLACE

Fireplace:

1. Locate furniture and other materials away from the front of the fireplace to allow free access to the fireplace.
2. Cover the hearth and adjacent floor areas with drop cloths to protect from soiling or marring the surface.
3. Remove the existing fireplace damper plate.
4. Thoroughly clean the fireplace of ashes and soot.
5. Check the chimney and smoke chamber for excessive buildup of creosote or soot. Also, check for obstructions, such as bird’s nests. If the chimney is excessively dirty, clean it or have someone clean it professionally BEFORE installing or using the room heater.
6. If the fireplace has an ash dump or outside air provision, these must be sealed off with metal or tightly packed non-combustible insulation to prevent cold air from entering the fireplace chamber.

MASONRY INSERT INSTALLATION OPTION S

SAFETY NOTICE

If this appliance is not properly installed, a house fire may result. For your safety, follow installation directions. Contact local building or fire officials about restrictions and installation inspection requirements in your area.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

(Use a chimney connector or a Listed Direct or Positive Connect) (See Page 8.)

POSITIONING HEATER

When positioning the heater, the following conditions MUST be met! (See Figure 2).

1. The front of the damper opening must be positioned BEHIND the rear edge of the lintel to ensure proper draft. (See Figure 2).
2. Center heater in the fireplace opening.

MOUNTING TRIM PANELS

After the unit is positioned, mark the mounting position of trim panels as follows:

1. Place side trim panels flat against the face of the fireplace. Mark the front edge of the trim panel with a pencil to make a vertical reference line. (See Figure 3).

2. Place the top (long) trim panel on top of the unit. The panel should be flat against the outside face of the fireplace, and standing vertically. Mark along the lower edge of the trim panel with a pencil to make a reference line for mounting.

3. Slide the unit out of the fireplace far enough to work behind trim panel reference lines.

4. Mount side trim panels. (See Figure 3).

   • a. Position the side trim panel on the reference line.
   • b. Drill mounting holes in the center of side trim panel mounting brackets to allow for adjustment in and out if necessary.
   • c. Mount trim panel using self-tapping screws provided.

5. 4Place top trim panel on the reference mark. The top trim panel mounting bracket (supplied) must overlap the rear lip of the top trim panel. Drill mounting holes in the top of the stove using holes in the bracket as a guide. Tighten screws.

6. Follow the installation procedures in the listed direct connect or positive connect kit you are using and install the heater and connect kit in the fireplace. If not using one of the installation methods shown on Page 8, continue.

7. Slide the unit back into the fireplace. Check to be sure that trim panels are properly positioned and lie flat against the front of the fireplace. If one or more of the panels is out of position, slide the unit out and reset by loosening the mounting screws and repositioning in the slot.

8. Reinstall the top trim panel by sliding the rear lip of the top trim panel underneath the front lip of the mounting bracket already secured to the top of the unit.
   NOTE: Mount the top trim panel so that it sits in front of the top of the side trim panels.

9. Obtain brass trim kit provided with insert kit and slip over top and sides of trim panels. The top ends of the brass may need to be trimmed to fit.

10. Using the insulation provided, peel and stick to the back of panels overlapping fireplace dimensions by 1″ on each side and top.

11. Next using high-heat silicone or furnace cement run a heavy bead of caulking around where the panels meet the stove. (See Figure 4A).

12. Slide the unit back into the fireplace. Check to be sure that trim panels (and brass) are properly positioned
    and lie flat against the front of the fireplace. If panels are out of position, slide the unit out and reset by loosening
    the mounting screws and repositioning in the slot. With a bar lift stove up in front. Place insulation
    across the front and surface of the hearth or bottom of the fireplace to make a complete seal.

13. To check the seal of the panels, use a candle flame and go around the entire area sealed by silicone and insulation. If the flame leans toward the inside of the fireplace, add additional insulation. This ensures an airtight seal.

FINAL CHECK

1. Recheck specified clearances.

2. Remove all foreign material from the firebox area.

3. Open primary air control: The primary air intake draft control is located at the right bottom side of the hearth. It is operated by moving handle out to open (to allow air into the firebox) or in (to control or close off) air into the firebox. (See Figure 4).

4. Plug the power cord into a 115V AC outlet. “Do not run the power cord under the unit or in high-traffic areas.

5. Place crumpled pieces of newspaper on the stove. Light it and close the door. Ensure that the stove draws properly through the primary draft.
   NOTE : “Do not use grate or elevate fire. Build a wood fire directly on the inner bottom of the firebox.”

6. Check for smoke leaks around the door.

7. Open the door and check for smoke escaping from the front of the stove. Smoking usually indicates a defective or poorly positioned chimney. Some chimneys with a marginal draft can be preheated by lighting a newspaper and holding it near an open damper with a poker or fire tong. Once the chimney heats up, a proper draft can usually be obtained.

If a thorough review of the Troubleshooting Guide in the rear of the manual does not reveal the problem, contact your dealer for assistance.

CAUTION

• THE UNIT IS PAINTED WITH A SPECIALLY FORMULAR HIGH-TEMPERATURE PAINT THAT CURES DURING THE FIRST TWO OR THREE FIRINGS. YOU MAY NOTICE A SLIGHT SMOKING EFFECT AND AN ODOR OF BURNING
• PAINT WHEN YOU BUILD FIRST FIRES. THIS IS NORMAL AND IS NOT A CAUSE FOR ALARM. IN SOME CASES, THESE FUMES WILL ACTIVATE A SMOKE ALARM. OPENING A WINDOW NEAR UNIT
• WILL ALLOW THESE FUMES TO ESCAPE. DO NOT BUILD A LARGE, ROARING FIRE UNTIL THIS CURING IS COMPLETE OR THE HEATER FINISH MAY BE DAMAGED.

The connector and/or chimney should be inspected at least once a month during the heating season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred.

NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR “FRESHEN UP” A FIRE IN THE HEATER. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM THE STOVE WHEN IT IS IN USE. ALL FLUIDS OF THIS TYPE GIVE OFF VOLATILE FUMES AND CAN AND WILL EXPLODE!! DON’T TAKE A CHANCE WITH THE SAFETY OF YOUR HOME AND FAMILY.

SECTION III PRE-FAB ZERO CLEARANCE INSERT INSTALLATION

6. The Ash Lip, Smoke Baffle, and Smoke Shelf may also be removed, if necessary, to provide room for Model 18. Any other alteration to the unit will void ALL New Buck Corporation’s responsibility and liability. The WARNING label below must be attached to the back of the fireplace.

WARNING : This fireplace must be restored to its original condition for safe use if the fireplace insert is removed.
NOTE: Plug the power cord into a 115 VAC outlet. Route the cord to prevent damage to cord insulation from heat and sharp objects. Keep cord out of the way of traffic to prevent damage caused by tripping, etc.

NOTE: DO NOT BLOCK ANY EXISTING LOUVERS OR VENTS ON EXISTING PREFAB WITH ANY TRIM PANELS FOR MODEL 18.

• To complete this installation, follow basic masonry fireplace trim kit instructions EXCEPT: The trim kit may have to be cut down in size so as not to block any cooling vents/chambers of Zero Clearance Fireplace
• Check installation minimum clearances and install an approved heater extension or floor protector to meet at least minimum clearances.

SECTION IV RESIDENTIAL FREESTANDING INSTALLATION
Select an installation location that will give the best airflow from the front of the heater to the remainder of the home.

PREPARING STOVE FOR INSTALLATION

1. Inspect the unit for any obvious physical damage.

2. Plug power cord into a 115V AC outlet. Do not run the power cord under the unit or in high-traffic areas.

3. Check primary air draft control to ensure that it slides freely.(See Figure 5).

4. Remove any items from within the firebox. Spread a dropcloth one floor behind the heater. Next, tilt the heater so that the back is on drop cloth.

5. (Leg Kit): If legs are to be used, obtain four legs, and attach legs to holes in the bottom of the unit with bolts and washers supplied with leg kit. (See Figure 5).

6. (Pedestal Kit): If a pedestal kit is being used and (outside air is required for residential free-standing installation (see page 29 Out Side Air Installation). Open the freestanding kit and obtain a stand. Place the stand against the bottom of the heater (angle side to the heater). Center stand front to rear and
   also center stand left and right. Mark screw locations on the bottom of the stove through the outer holes of stand mounting angles. Set the stand aside and drill four 7/32″ holes in the heater bottom. Then mount the stand to the bottom of the heater with the screws provided. (See Figure 5A).

7. Obtain four (4) 3/16″ self-tapping screws and secure a stand to the heater.

8. Reposition the heater to an upright position.

ALTERNATE FLOOR PROTECTORS MATERIAL

• Floor protection must be 3/8” minimum thickness non-combustible material or equivalent.
• How to use alternate materials and how to calculate equivalent thickness
• An easy means of determining if a proposed alternate floor protector meets the requirements listed in the appliance manual is to follow this procedure:

1. Convert specification to R-value:
2. R- value is given—no conversion is needed.
3. K– factor is given with a required thickness (T) in inches:
4. C- factor is given: R=1/C
5. Determine the R-value of the proposed alternate floor protector.
   • Use the formula in step (1) to convert values not expressed as “R”
   • For multiple layers, add R-values of each layer to determine the overall R-value.
6. If the overall R-value of the system is greater than the R-value of the specified floor protector, the alternate is acceptable.

Example:
The specified floor protector should be 3/4â thick material with a K-factor of 0.84. The proposed alternate is 4â brick with a C-factor of 1.25 over 1/8â mineral board with a\ K-factor of 0.29.

• Step (a): Use the formula above to convert specification to R-value. R= 1/K x T = 1/0.84 x .75 = 0.893
• Step (b): Calculate the R of the proposed system. 4â brick of C=1.25, therefore Rbrick = 1/C = 1/1.25 =0.80 1/8 mineral board of K = 0.29, therefore Rmin.bd. =1/029 x0.125 = 0.431
• Step (c): Compare the proposed system R of 1.231 to the specified R of 0.893. Since the proposed system R is greater than required, the system is acceptable.

Definitions:

• Thermal conductan ce = C = Btu = W (hr)(ft²)(°F) (m²)(°K)
• Thermal conductance = K = (Btu)(inch) = W = (Btu) (hr)(ft²)(°f) (m)(°K) (hr)(tf)(°F)
• Thermal conductance = R = (ft²)(hr)(°F) = (m²)(°K) Btu W
• Install in accordance with 24 CFR, Part 3280 (HUD).

CHIMNEY

CEILING EXITS:
This model is designed for connection to any 2100° UL 103 HT chimneys. Follow the chimney manufacturer’s instructions carefully.

NOTE: This room heater must be converted to (1) a chimney complying with requirements for Type HT chimneys in Standard for chimneys, Factory-Built, Residential, Type and Building Heating Appliance, UL 103, or (2) a code- approved masonry chimney with a flue liner. The chimney size should not be less than nor more than 3 times greater than the cross-sectional area of the flue collar.

CAUTION: SPECIAL METHODS ARE REQUIRED WHEN PASSING THROUGH A WALL OR CEILING. SEE INSTRUCTIONS AND BUILDING CODES.

DETERMINING CHIMNEY LOCATION

A. CEILING EXIT Using 6″ Single Wall Pipe and UL 103 HT type chimney system listed with the manufacturer in this section of the manual.

1. Suspend a plumb bob from the ceiling above the unit so that the weight is hanging in the center of the flue exit. (A small weight on a string will serve as a plumb bob). Mark the ceiling where the string is suspended to locate the center of the chimney.
2. After locating the center of the hole, install the ceiling support box, chimney flashing, and rain cap per the chimney manufacturer’s instructions.
3. Now connect stove and ceiling support box using #24 ga. minimum blued or black steel connector pipe (DO NOT USE GALVANIZED PIPE). Connect each section so the crimped end faces downward, and secure each section to each other using at least three (3) sheet metal screws or rivets. Also use three (3) sheet metal screws to fasten the pipe to the collar on the heater (See Page 20, Figure 6) or you may use 3 “Ell” brackets fastened to the top of heater and fastened to the stove pipe.

B. WALL EXIT INTO METAL TEE-BOX

1. Mark the plumb line on the wall directly behind the center of the heater. (See Figure 7).
   NOTE: When using 24# ga. minimum blue or black steel pipe, maintain 18″ between pipe

2. Place the vertical portion of the heater pipe and elbow in position and project a point onto the plumb line level with the center of the elbow.

3. Measure, so there will be at least a 1/4″ rise per foot of horizontal connector pipe, maintaining clearances to ceiling as noted in Figure 7, Page 20. This will give you the center of the hole for chimney penetration.

4. After locating the center of penetration, install the tee box and chimney as per the chimney manufacturer’s specifications.

5. Connect chimney collar to tee-box using #24 ga. minimum blued or black steel connector pipe. DO NOT use galvanized pipe. Connect each section so the crimped end faces downward, and secure each section to each other using three (3) sheet metal screws or rivets.

C. WALL EXIT INTO MASONRY (USING SINGLE WALL PIPE)

1. Before connecting these units to a masonry chimney, determine that the masonry fireplace wall pass-through connector thimble meets NFPA-211 Code and local building codes and is a minimum of 18″ from the ceiling. If the connector thimble does not meet these codes, the pass-through connector must be modified. (See Figure 8).

Connectors may pass through walls or partitions constructed of combustible material if the connector is:

• (a) Either listed for wall pass-through or is routed through a device listed for wall pass-through and is installed in accordance with conditions of listing.
• (b) Selected or fabricated in accordance with the conditions and clearances as stated in Table 6-7.5 of the 2000 NFPA 211 Code. Any unexposed metal that is used as part of a wall pass-through system and is exposed to flue gases shall be constructed of stainless steel or other equivalent material that will resist corrosion, softening, or cracking from flue gases at temperatures up to 1800º F.

NOTE: In addition, a connector to a masonry chimney shall extend through the wall to the inner face or liner but not beyond, and shall be firmly cemented to masonry.
Exception: A thimble may be used to facilitate the removal of the chimney connector for cleaning, in which case the thimble shall be permanently cemented in place with high-temperature cement.

Once through-the-wall thimble codes are met, simply connect the chimney collar to the wall pass-through connector using #24 ga. minimum, blued, or black steel connector pipe as follows:

• (a) Maintain 1/4″ rise per foot (horizontal length) from the appliance to the chimney.
• (b) Connect each section so the crimped end faces downward or back toward the unit.
• (c) Secure each section to each other using at least three (3) sheet metal screws or rivets.
• (d) Use three (3) sheet metal screws to fasten pipe to the connector collar on the heater.

D. CEILING EXIT – CLOSE CLEARANCE

1. Suspend a plumb bob from the ceiling above the unit so that the weight is hanging in the center of the flue exit. (A small weight on a string will serve as a plumb bob.) Mark the ceiling where the string is suspended to locate the center of the chimney hole.
2. After locating the center of the hole, install the ceiling support box, chimney flashing, and rain cap.
3. Next, install an optional New Buck Corporation chimney connector to the flue exit of the heater or you may use “Ell” brackets to fasten the pipe to the stove. See (Page 23, Figure 9).
4. Install Single Wall Connector and chimney system per manufacturer’s written operating instructions. See the manufacturer’s list of tested pipes in this manual.

Close Clearance Installation using: (1) 6″ Simpson Dura-Vent single wall chimney connector (Dura Black) and 6″ Simpson Dura-Vent 2100 Deg HT (Type DP) chimney or (2) 6″ Metal Fab Type single wall connector and 6″ Metal Fab 2100 HT chimney or (3) Ameritec. For Minimum Clearances see page 18.

ALCOVE INSTALLATION CLEARANCES

Must use 6″ single wall connector and 6″ Type HT pipe listed for Close Clearance reduction listed in this manual. For Minimum Clearances see below.
NOTE: Must also use the Close Clearance Shield kit
NOTE: Clearances to be used with double wall pipe and low clearance shield.

FINAL CHECK

1. Recheck specified clearances.

2. Remove all foreign material from the firebox area.

3. Open primary air draft.
   NOTE: Plug the power cord into a 115 VAC outlet. Route cord to prevent damage to cord insulation from heat and sharp objects. Keep the cord out of the way of traffic to prevent damage caused by tripping, etc.

4. Place crumpled pieces of newspaper in the stove. Light it and close the door. Ensure that the stove draws properly through the primary draft.

5. Check for smoke leaks around the door.

CAUTION: Open the door and check for smoke escaping from the front of the stove. Smoking usually indicates a defective or poorly positioned chimney. Some chimneys with a marginal draft can be preheated by lighting a newspaper and holding it near an open damper with a poker or fire tong. Once the chimney heats up, a proper draft can usually be obtained.

If a thorough review of the Troubleshooting Guide in the rear of the manual does not reveal the problem, contact your dealer for assistance.

CAUTION: The unit is painted with specially formulated high-temperature paint that cures during the first two or three firings. You may notice a slight smoking effect and an odor of burning paint when you build first fires. This is normal and is not a cause for alarm. In some cases, these fumes will activate a smoke alarm. Opening a window near the unit will allow these fumes to escape. DO NOT build a large roaring fire until this curing is complete or the heater finish may be damaged.

FOR CEILING EXIT USING CLOSE CLEARANCE LISTED CHIMNEY

1. Suspend a plumb bob from the ceiling above the unit so that the weight is hanging in the center of the flue exit. (A small weight on a string will serve as a plumb bob). Mark the ceiling where the string is suspended to locate the center of the chimney hole.

2. After locating the center of the hole install the ceiling support box, chimney, flashing, and rain cap using the listed chimney only. Only use the pipe listed in this manual.
   CAUTION: REFER TO CHIMNEY MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY OF CHIMNEY PARTS. BE SURE TO FOLLOW CHIMNEY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPER CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLE AND PROPER AIR SPACING REQUIRED.

3. Add additional pipe until both of the following are met:

   • (a) Chimney pipe is 3 feet higher than the roof at the point where it penetrates the roof and
   • (b) The chimney pipe height is at least 2 feet higher than any part of the roof within 10 feet of the chimney. See (Page 31, Figure 12).

4. Next, install a New Buck Corporation chimney connector to the flue of the heater or use 3 “ELL” brackets and secure them to the top of the heater and pipe.

5. Using a single wall chimney connector, connect the heater to the chimney by following the manufacturer’s installation instructions exactly. (See Figure 15).

FINAL CHECK

1. Recheck specified clearances.

2. Remove all foreign material from the firebox area.

3. Open primary air draft.
   NOTE: Plug the power cord into a 115 VAC outlet. Route cord to prevent damage to cord insulation from heat and sharp objects. Keep the cord out of the way of traffic to prevent damage caused by tripping, etc.

4. Place crumpled pieces of newspaper on the stove. Light it and close the door. Ensure that the stove draws properly through the primary draft.

5. Check for smoke leaks around the door.

6. Open the door and check for smoke escaping from the front of the stove. Smoking usually indicates a defective or poorly positioned chimney. Some chimneys with a marginal draft can be preheated by lighting newspaper and holding it near an open damper with a poker or fire tong. Once the chimney heats up, a proper draft can usually be obtained.

If a thorough review of the Troubleshooting Guide in the rear of the manual does not reveal the problem, contact your dealer for assistance.

CAUTION: THE UNIT IS PAINTED WITH SPECIALLY FORMULATED HIGH-TEMPERATURE PAINT THAT CURES DURING THE FIRST TWO OR THREE FIRINGS. YOU MAY NOTICE A SLIGHT SMOKING EFFECT AND AN ODOR OF BURNING PAINT WHEN YOU BUILD FIRST FIRES. THIS IS NORMAL AND IS NOT A CAUSE FOR ALARM. IN SOME CASES, THESE FUMES WILL ACTIVATE A SMOKE ALARM. OPENING A WINDOW NEAR THE UNIT WILL ALLOW THESE FUMES TO ESCAPE. DO NOT BUILD A LARGE ROARING FIRE UNTIL THIS CURING PROCESS IS COMPLETE OR THE HEATER FINISH MAY BE DAMAGED.

SECTION VI WOOD HEATER SAFETY
Certain safety hazards are inherent in any wood heater installation. You should be aware of these so that a safe and proper installation can be made.

1. FAULTY CHIMNEY: An older masonry chimney should be thoroughly checked to be sure there are no holes or weak spots that could allow sparks or hot gases to escape.
2. HEAT CONDUCTION: Placing combustible materials too close to a heater or chimney can be a fire hazard.

By keeping these particular hazards in mind as you install and use your room heater you can ensure a safe, reliable installation.

FOR PREFAB INSTALLATION:
The chimney and chimney connector should be inspected once every two months. Any build-up of soot should be removed to prevent the risk of a chimney fire

FOR FREE STANDING INSTALLATION:
The chimney and chimney connector should be inspected once every two months. Any build-up of soot should be removed to prevent the risk of a chimney fire. To remove the chimney or chimney connector: Remove screws or fasteners. Remove the pipe and clean it with a steel brush. Replace chimney or chimney connector, and replace screws and/or fasteners.

CAUTION: NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR “FRESHEN UP” A FIRE IN THE HEATER. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM THE STOVE WHEN IT IS IN USE. ALL FLUIDS OF THIS TYPE GIVE OFF VOLATILE FUMES AND CAN AND WILL EXPLODE!! DON’T TAKE A CHANCE WITH THE SAFETY OF YOUR HOME AND FAMILY.

CAUTION: Never remove ashes from the heater with the blower running.

DISPOSAL OF ASHES:
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials pending final disposal. If ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in a closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.

CREOSOTE – FORMATION AND NEED FOR REMOVAL
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited this creosote makes an extremely hot fire.

SECTION VII HEATER OPERATION
This section of the manual is to help you get maximum efficiency and maximum smoke (particulate) reduction from your heater. If you should experience any difficulty or have any questions concerning your heater, contact your dealer for assistance.

NOTE: The manufacturer recommends that for maximum performance burn naturally seasoned hardwood.
Build a fire for maximum efficiency. These models burn wood and extract heat so efficiently that a large fire is not necessary. A large fire not only wastes energy, but it usually results in the home being too warm for comfort.
The following steps will serve as a guide for operating your stove.

BUILDING A FIRE

1. Open door.

2. Open the primary air control located on the right side of the stove under the hearth. To close push all the way in. To open pull all way out.

3. Twist two pieces of non-colored newspaper into a roll and place them on the floor of the firebox.
   NOTE:“Do not use grate or elevate fire. Build a wood fire directly on the inner bottom of the firebox.”

4. These models are not designed for the use of grates, andirons, or other methods of supporting fuel.

5. Lay several pieces of dry kindling on top of the newspaper.

6. Place three or four small pieces of firewood, 2-3″ in diameter, on top of kindling.

7. Light newspaper in front. Close and latch the door. Don’t leave a fire unattended at this point. The draft system of the heater should start quickly. It may be necessary to preheat the chimney to get the draft started. To do this, open the door and add newspaper to the top rear of the wood. Light or let this paper ignite and allow it to burn while holding the door slightly cracked. Once the draft has started, close and lock the door. You are overheating the unit if the chimney and or connector glows red.

8. NOTE: After embers and a coal bed have been established, load the heater with seasoned natural hardwood wood, placing it length way front to rear.
   NOTE: THE FUELING DOOR MUST REMAIN CLOSED DURING OPERATION.
   NOTE: If the blower is being used on the Model 18 Non-Cat, your stove is equipped with an automatic thermostat. When the stove gets hot enough, the thermostat will activate the room air blower.
   NOTE: When refueling or removing ashes from the unit, unplug the room air blower from the outlet to prevent damage from coals or ashes. Be sure to plug the room air blower back in when finished.
   NOTE : Do not run the power cord underneath the heater or in walkways or heavy traffic areas.

OPERATION FOR ROOM AIR BLOWER AND MAINTENANCE

3. After replacing parts, reverse step 1.

REPLACE OR TIGHTEN GASKET ON SIDE WINDOWS (COLD HEATER)

1. Open the feed door.
2. On each side of the inside door opening there are nuts holding glass overlays with side glasses to the stove. (2 two) nuts for each of the glass overlays, one at the top and one at the bottom of each overlay.
3. Spray overlay nuts with WD-40 and wait a while for the WD-40 to penetrate the threads. After letting WD-40 set, gently loosen the glass overlay nuts. Work the nuts back and forth gently, you may have to use WD-40 again to get the nuts loose.
4. Remove the glass overlay. Take the glass out of the overlay remove the old gasket replace it with a new gasket.
5. Replace the glass into overlay then place both the glass and overlay back onto the stove front.
6. Gently snug the nuts tight.
7. NOTE: Later after several firings you may have to tighten the nuts more.

DOOR GASKET REPLACEMENT (COLD HEATER)
To replace deteriorated gaskets, the following steps must be taken to ensure proper installation of gaskets.

1. Obtain proper gaskets and silicone glue from your local dealer.
2. Using pliers, remove any worn and deteriorated gaskets.
3. Using a scraper, wire brush sandpaper, or steel wool, clean glue and gasket residue from the door frame.
4. Measure and cut gaskets to length. Care should be taken not to stretch gaskets. What you want is a full and loose gasket weave after attachment to framing.
5. Obtain silicone glue and run a 3/16” bead inside the door frame.
6. Obtain gasket (s) and place them in gasket channel areas starting at the lower right corner, See Below. Use a technique that assures that the gasket is applied in a loose-like manner. DO NOT STRETCH GASKETS.
7. After gasket (s) are applied to the glue, use your finger and go over all gaskets gently pressing the gasket to the channel. Use the same pressure against the gasket so that the final result is an evenly applied gasket.
8. Leave the door open and allow at least two (2) hours for glue to dry.
9. Once gaskets are checked, the heater is ready for use.
10. This should be done annually. Allowing gaskets to deteriorate can cause over-firing and shorten burn time.

MAINTENANCE

CHECK CHIMNEY

• A. Chimney should be inspected twice a year.
• B. The chimney should be cleaned as necessary to remove creosote, soot, leaves, birds’ nests, etc.

Before sweeping the chimney a few steps must be done.

1. Open feed door and remove the 1st Secondary Air Tube by removing cotter pin up in right side facing stove. Remove Air Tube and cotter pin, set aside.
2. Gently remove the Insulation Blanket set aside.
3. Remove Stainless Steel Baffle Plate set aside.
4. Close feed door for cleaning chimney so debris don’t fall out feed door while cleaning chimney.
5. Creosote and debris will fall into the bottom of the stove unit from the cleaning.
6. Clean out all the creosote and debris from inside stove unit left from clean sweeping chimney.
7. To replace Stainless Steel Baffle Plate, Insulation Blanket and 1st Secondary Air Tube reverse steps 1-3

NOTE: A chimney cap should be installed to prevent moisture from entering chimney, to prevent sparks and
burning materials from escaping the chimney, and to keep birds and foreign materials from entering. NOTE: Some areas may require an approved spark arrestor.

CLEANING THE HEATER

• A. The heater should not be cleaned with any type of detergent as most all detergents have an oil base and cannot be painted over.
• B. The heater should be lightly sanded with fine sandpaper or steel wool, then repainted or touched up with high temperature paint.
• C. If the heater is located in a moist or damp location, check thoroughly for signs of condensation during times when heater is not in use.
• D. When heating season is over, heater should be cleaned out completely with a wire brush or cloth to help eliminate ash and burned wood smell.

CARE OF GLASS DOOR
The glass door on your heater permits you to enjoy the beauty of the fire while retaining efficiency of your heater. Although brand of glass used in heater door has well established and recognized heat resistant and strength characteristics, it can be broken through improper care. To achieve maximum utility and safety of your glass door, we advise that you observe following use and safety tips:

1. Inspect glass regularly for cracks or breaks. If you detect a crack or break extinguish fire immediately and return door to your dealer for glass replacement before further use.
2. Do not slam heater door or otherwise impact the glass. When closing door, make sure that no logs or other objects protrude to impact against glass.
3. Do not clean glass with materials that may scratch it (such as steel wool) or otherwise damage glass. Scratches on the glass can develop into cracks or breaks.

The glass can be cleaned with a commercial oven cleaner, provided it does not contain abrasives. A build-up on glass that has been there for a considerable length of time can be burned off with a propane torch or straight razor blade. Use protective gloves when using razor.
