General Safety Information
Proper installation of any wood burning stove is necessary for the safety and effective-
ness of its operation, Check with your dealer regarding arrangements for installing your
free standing model. Installation must meet strict specifications of the National Fire
Protection Association and all local fire and building codes. For additional information
on using your heater (wood stove) safely, write for Using Coal and Wood Safely, NFPA

General Safety Precautions
1. Keep stove away from combustibles. Follow suggested distances.
2. Install smoke pipe segments with the crimped end down. This permits the creosote
to drip back into the stove and be burned away.
3. The use of aluminum type “B” gas vent is unsafe and prohibited by the National
Fire Prevention Association Code.
4. The area through which the chimney pipe will travel should be inspected. If the
installation requires cutting a hole in the ceiling, check the attic for wires, ducts,
etc., that may interfere.
5. Most home fires occur with wood stoves because of improper installation. It is
vitally important that single wall pipe is NEVER installed closer than 24 inches or
three times the diameter of the pipe from a combustible surface,
SAFETY NOTE: Never run a single wall pipe through a combustible wall.
