INTRODUCTION

The MODEL 94NC is a non-catalytic unit designed to meet the most stringent emissions standards without use of a catalytic combustor. This effect is achieved through use of secondary air which is mixed with primary air in firebox.
For peak performance, we suggest the use of natural seasoned hard wood. Load wood from front to rear.

NOTE: Soft woods such as pine, create more creosote, clogging 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 user, burns the wood. Secondary air is admitted into firebox through secondary air tubes at top of 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.

Under specific test conditions this heater has been shown to deliver heat at rates ranging from approximately :
11,900 BTU/HR. on Low
42,100 BTU/HR. on High
This unit is equipped with a standard room air blower.

EPA COMPLIANCE STATUS

The Model 94NC heater meets U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Emission limits for noncat wood heaters sold after July 1, 1992. Under specific conditions this heater has been shown to deliver heat at rates ranging from approximately11,900to42,000BTU/hr for the Model 94NC.

4. Mount side trim panels. (See Figure 6).
   a. Position trim panel on reference line.
   b. Drill mounting holes in center of trim panel mounting brackets to allow for adjustment in and out if necessary.
   c. Mount trim panel using self-tapping screws provided.
   MOUNTING TRIM PANELS

**FIGURE 6**

5. .Place top panel back on reference mark. Take the top trim panel mounting bracket, position bracket so it overlaps rear lip of top trim panel. Drill mounting holes in top of stove using holes in bracket as guide. Tighten down screws.

6. Now, follow installation procedures listed. Install heater and connect kit in fireplace. If not using one of installation methods shown on then continue.

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

8. Obtain outer trim kit provided with insert kit. Slip it over top and sides of trim panels.(See Figure 7). (Top ends of outer trim may need to be trimmed to fit).

9. Using insulation provided, peel and stick to back of panels. It will overlap fireplace dimensions by 1″ on each side and top. (See Figure 8).

10. Using high heat silicone or furnace cement run heavy bead of caulking around where back of panels meet stove. (See Figure 8).

If panels are out of position, slide unit out and reset by loosening mounting screws and repositioning in slot. Lift stove up in front by using the bar. Place insulation across the bottom and surface of hearth, or bottom of fireplace, to make complete seal.

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

FINAL CHECK

1. Recheck specified clearances.

2. Remove all foreign material from firebox area.

3. Open primary air control. Primary Air Control: The primary air intake draft control is located at right bottom side of hearth. It is operated by moving handle out to open (to allow air into firebox) or in (to control or close off) to let air into firebox. (See Figure 7).

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

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

6. Check for smoke leaks around door.

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

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

CAUTION

THE UNIT IS PAINTED WITH A SPECIALLY FORMULATED HIGH TEMPERATURE PAINT THAT CURES DURING THE FIRST TWO OR THREE FIRES. YOU MAY NOTICE A SLIGHT SMOKING EFFECT AND AN ODOR OF BURNING PAINT WHEN YOU BUILD THE FIRST FIRE. 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.

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

CAUTION

NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR “FRESHEN UP” A FIRE. 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 IVRESIDENTIAL FREESTANDING INSTALLATION

Select an installation location that will give best airflow from front of heater to remainder of home.

PREPARING STOVE FOR INSTALLATION

1. Inspect unit for any obvious physical damage.
2. Plug power cord into a 115V AC outlet to test motor. Do not run power cord under unit or in high traffic areas.
3. Check primary air and control to ensure that it slides freely.
4. Remove any items from within firebox. Spread a dropcloth on floor behind heater. Next, tilt heater so that back is on drop cloth.
5. If leg kit is to be used follow steps 1-4.
6. Obtain four legs, attach legs to holes in bottom of unit with bolts and washers. (See Figure 9).
7. Reposition heater to upright position.

Chimney

This model is designed for connection to any listed 2100º UL103 HT chimneys and parts. Follow chimneys manufacturer’s instructions carefully.

This room heater must be converted to (1) a chimney complying with the requirements for Type HT chimneys in the 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 or more than three times greater the crosssectional area of the flue collar.

Floor Protection

Floor protection must be 3/8” minimum thickness non-combustible material or equivalent, and have an R-value of 0.30.
How to use alternate materials and how to calculate equivalent thickness

An easy means of determining if a proposed alternate floor protector meets requirements is to follow this procedure:

1. Convert specification to R-value:
   R- value is given—no conversion is needed.
   K- factor is given with a required thickness (T) in inches:
   C- factor is given: R=1/C

2. 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.

3. 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 formula above to convert specification to R-value. R= 1/K x T = 1/0.84 x .75 = 0.893
Step (b): Calculate R of 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 proposed system R of 1.231 to specified R of 0.893. Since proposed system R is greater than required , the system is acceptable.

Definitions :

Install in accordance with 24 CFR, Part 3280 (HUD).

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 masonary chimney should be thoroughly checked to be sure there are no holes or weak spots, which 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.

The chimney and chimney connector should be inspected once every two months. Any buildup of soot should be removed to prevent the risk of chimney fire. To remove chimney or chimney connector, remove screws or fasteners. Remove pipe and clean with 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 heater with 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 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.

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 natural seasoned hard wood.

Build a fire for maximum efficiency. This model burns wood and extracts heat so efficiently, a large fire is not necessary. A large fire not only wastes energy, it usually results in 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 primary air control. Primary Air Controls: The primary air intake draft control is located at right bottom side of hearth. It is operated by moving handle out to open (to allow air into firebox) or in (to control or close off) to let air into firebox.

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

4. This model is not designed for use of grates, andirons or other methods of supporting fuel.

5. Lay several pieces of dry kindling on top of 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 door. Don’t leave fire unattended at this point.The draft system of heater should start quickly. It may be necessary to preheat chimney to get draft started. To do this, open door and add newspaper to top rear of wood. Light or let this paper ignite and allow to burn while holding the door slightly cracked. Once draft has started, close and lock door. You are over- heating the unit if the chimney and or connector glows red.

8. NOTE: After embers and a coal bed have been established, load heater with seasoned
   natural hard wood, placing it front to rear.

NOTE: THE FUELING DOOR MUST REMAIN CLOSED DURING OPERATION.

Your stove is equipped with an automatic thermostat. When stove gets hot enough, thermostat will activate room air blower. Set fan speed on low, when burning on low, med-low or med-high. Set fan speed on high when burning on high.

NOTE: When refueling or removing ashes turn “OFF” room air blower. Be sure to turn room air blower back on when finished.
NOTE: Do not run power cord underneath heater or in walk way or heavy traffic areas.

ROOM AIR BLOWER OPERATION

Your heater is equipped with a room air blower. For operation and wiring see figure 14.
For your convenience your heater is equipped with a rheostat with which you are able to select air flow. The auto and manual switch will allow you to select the position at which thermostat will function.

Auto-position: After heater has warmed up and Auto-Manual switch is placed in “Auto” position and rheostat is in desired position, the fan will automatically come on. When stove cools off fan will automatically shut-off.

Manual position: You must turn room air blower on and off.

NOTE: Plug power cord into a 115V AC outlet. Set switch to “Manual” and rheostat to “High” position to ensure motor operates properly. Route 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.
