SAFETY
CHIMNEY FIRE
In the event of a fire in the chimney:
a.
Adjust the thermostat to its lowest setting.
b.
Check the Loading Door to be sure it is tightly closed.
c.
Get everyone out of the house.
d.
Call the Fire Department immediately. After the fire is out, have your chimney inspected by a Building Inspector
or certified chimney sweep. Any damaged chimney components should be replaced before the stove is used
again. A masonry chimney that is damaged should be repaired or rebuilt.
Contact you Fire Department for further advice. Your family should have a prearranged plan so that each person
will know what to do and will act immediately if such an emergency arises.
SMOKE DETECTORS
Install at least one smoke detector on each floor of your home to ensure your safety. It should be located away
form the wood stove and close to the sleeping areas. Locating a smoke detector too close to a wood stove can
cause the smoke detector alarm to sound if a puff of smoke is emitted while the wood stove door is open during
reloading. Follow the smoke detector manufacturers placement, installation, and maintenance instructions Your
local fire Department may provide assistance in selecting smoke detectors.
FIRE EXTINGUISHERS
Every home should have at least one fire extinguisher. an approved "Class A-B-C" extinguisher should be mounted
on the wall, near an exit and close to the stove but not so close that accessibility to the extinguisher could be
blocked by a fire. Your local fire department can advise you concerning the most appropriate location.
BUILDING AND FIRE CODES, PERMITS, AND INSPECTIONS
The installation of this wood stove must comply with you local building and fire codes. Always contact you local
Building Inspector and /or Fire Department before beginning the installation process. If required, obtain a permit
before installation and have the completed installation inspected. Remember that noncompliance with building and/
or fire codes may jeopardize your homeowner's insurance.
CHILDREN
Do not allow children to play near the stove or with the operating knobs. Severe burns may be inflicted by touching
some of the parts of the stove and by opening the loading door. Train children to stay away from the stove and
never leave children unattended in the room when the stove is in operation.
CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
For a safe installation, proper clearances to combustible materials must be observed (see pages 17 & 18). Failure
to follow these guidelines voids the certification and warranty, is illegal, and can result in a fire causing property

table on page 17 indicates. Combustible materials include items such as plasterboard or wood-paneled walls,
furniture, wooden mantles, bookshelves, carpets and drapes. Firewood should not be stored within the specified
clearances.
AVOID FIRE
Maintain the designated clearance distance to combustibles. Insulation must not touch the chimney. There must
be the designated air space clearance around the chimney. This air space around a chimney is necessary to allow
natural heat removal from area. Insulation is this space will cause a heat buildup which may ignite wood framing.
