DURING OPENING AND CLOSING OF THE FEED AND ASH DOORS  
OF THIS HEATER, IT MAY SEEM THAT THE FIT OF THE DOOR IS  
"TOO TIGHT". AS THE HEATER IS FIRED, THE GASKETING  
"SETTLES" OR "SEATS" ITSELF IN THE DOOR. THE TIGHT FIT AT  
THE FACTORY AND BEFORE THE HEATER'S INITIAL FIRING IS TO  
INSURE A GOOD SEAL AFTER THE GASKETING "SETTLES".  
4. Be sure that your Chimney is safely con  
structed and in good repair. Have the chim  
ney inspected by the Fire Department or a  
qualified inspector (such as a Chimney  
sweep). Your insurance company may be  
able to recommend a qualified inspector.  
5. Inspect chimney connector and chimney

12.CAUTION:Thespecialpaintsusedonyour  
heater may give off some smoke while they  
are curing during first few fires. Build small  
fires at first. The metal used in construction  
of the heater has a light coating of oil. This  
could give off smoke and/or odors when  
heater is used for the first couple of times.  
This should disappear after a short period.  
Once this burn-off has occurred, it should  
not reoccur.

In the unlikely event that your 2941 "overfires" (a condition evidenced by elbows,  
stovepipes, and connectors glowing red in appearance or otherwise discoloring),  
then your installation is subject to excessive draft created by either a chimney too tall  
or too great in diameter in conjunction with its height, or some other factor of an  
indeterminate cause. In this event, you should install a barometric draft regulator.  
Such installation will preclude any overfiring and/or any hazardous consequences  
of potential overfiring.

KEEP THE FOLLOWING IN MIND:  
1. The chimney connection should be as airtight as possible. The heater must have its own  
chimney flue. Do not connect this unit to a chimney flue serving another appliance. If there  
is no chimney near where you wish to place the heater, you can use a UL 103HT Residential  
Type and Building Heating Appliance Chimney (Fig. 5, 6, 6A & 6B).

the connector pipe to combustible surfaces. If you have a solid brick or stone wall behind your  
heater, you can place the heater as close as you wish to the wall. If the wall is only faced with  
brick or stone, treat it as a combustible wall.

of which is apparent: The chimney  
providesameansforexhaustingsmoke  
andfluegasesresultingfromcombustion  
of the fuel. Secondarily, though, the  
chimney provides "Draft" which allows  
oxygen to be continuously introduced  
into the appliance, so that proper  
combustion is possible. As of April 1,  
1987, all heaters and furnaces  
manufactured by United States Stove  
Company should be installed using a  
factory built chimney that meets the  
"TypeHT"requirementofUL103(when  
a factory - built chimney is used).  
CHIMNEY CONNECTION  
Two basic types of chimneys are ap-  
proved for use with solid fuel: Factory-  
builtandmasonry.Factory-builtchimney  
must comply with UL103HT standard.  
Do not expect your stove or furnace to  
create draft. Draft is not a function of the  
appliance. Draft is purely a function of  
the chimney. Modern stoves and  
furnaces are much more air-tight and  
efficient than those of the past and,  
therefore require greater draft. A  
minimum of .05, measured in water  
column (gauges to measure chimney  
draftarereadilyavailableatstoveshops  
andareeconomicaltopurchaseorrent)  
is required for proper drafting to prevent  
back-puffing, smoke spillage, and to  
maximize performance.  
IMPORTANT  
*Size the chimney to the flue outlet on  
the stove. (6" outlet = 6" I.D. chimney)  
*Avoid using elbows except as  
necessary (they reduce draft).  
*Make sure all horizontal runs of con-  
nector pipe go up hill (1/4" elevation for  
each horizontal foot).

Many prefabricated fireplaces fall into  
the"zero-clearancefireplace"category.  
This is a factory metal fireplace with

existingfireplacetoheateruse.Usually,  
safe connection of stovepipe to a ma-  
sonrychimneyrequiresmoreeffortthan  
connection to a prefabricated chimney.  
Thefireplacemustbeclosedandsealed  
atthedamperintheflue. Goodsealants  
are high temperature caulking, ceramic  
wool, and furnace cement. Always re-  
member to inspect the masonry chim-  
ney and fireplace. If necessary, clean  
the flue and smoke shelf before begin-  
ning your installation. Install the heater  
into the chimney so that the system can  
be dismantled for cleaning and inspec-  
tion.  
Steel-lined fireplaces, on the other  
hand, can be used with heaters. These  
units use a 1/4-inch fire box liner and an  
air chamber in connection with 8 inches  
of masonry to meet code. They contain  
all the essential parts of a fireplace,  
firebox, damper, throat, smoke shelf,  
andsmokechamber.Manyofthemlook  
exactly like a masonry fireplace and  
must be checked closely for above re-  
quirements before installing a coal  
heater into them.  
Before deciding to convert your fire-  
place or existing chimney, keep in mind  
that older fireplaces and their chimneys  
are unsafe. They must be structurally  
sound,andthefluelinermustbeingood  
condition. Do not use a chimney if it is  
unlined (should have a tile clay liner  
to protect brickwork), have it relined  
professionally.Clearancestocombus-  
tibles are explained in the previous sec-  
tion on masonry chimneys. If you have  
any questions regarding the condition  
of the chimney, consult a qualified engi-  
neer, competentmason, certifiedChim-  
ney Sweep, or knowledgeable inspec-  
tor.  
Another method frequently used by  
some people is to vent the heater di-  
rectly into the fireplace. This does not  
meet code since the heater is being  
vented into another appliance - the  
fireplace. This method should not be  
attempted because combustion prod-  
ucts will deposit and build up in the  
firebox or fireplace. Be certain not to  
install a hazard in you house. You will  
void your warranty with this installa-  
tion.  
CAUTION:  
NOT ALL FIREPLACES  
ARE SUITABLE FOR  
INSTALLATION OF A WOOD

SERVICE HINTS  
Do not expect a heater to draw. It is the  
FIREPLACE INSTALLATION  
4. If the chimney is too cool, water will  
condense in the chimney and run back  
into the stove. Creosote formation will  
be rapid and may block the chimney.  
Operatetheheateratahighenoughfire  
to keep the chimney warm preventing  
this condensation. (Poorly insulated  
chimney)  
chimney that creates the draft. Smoke  
spillage into the house or excessive  
build-up of water or creosote in the  
chimney are warnings that the chimney  
is not functioning properly. Possible  
causes are:  
Connectionofthestovepipedirectlyinto  
the existing masonry chimney over the  
fireplace opening is the only approved  
method. This installation performs bet-  
ter, yielding easy to clean and inspect  
for creosote. Before beginning this type  
of installation plan carefully; a high de-  
gree of skill is required to insure safety.  
Install the stovepipe as far as possible  
into the thimble, but not past the inside  
of the flue lining. There should be a  
small air space (approximately 1/2 in.)  
between the stovepipe and thimble, al-  
lowing for expansion of the stovepipe.  
Seal this airspace with high-tempera-  
ture caulking or ceramic wool. Finally,  
be sure to wire the damper closed and  
apply the same sealant you used at the  
stovepipe and thimble junction.  
1. The connection pipe may be pushed  
into the chimney too far, stopping the  
draft (Fig. 8).  
5. The chimney top may be lower than  
another part of the house or a nearby  
tree. The wind blowing over a house or  
a tree falls on top of the chimney like  
water over a dam, beating down the  
smoke. The top of the chimney should  
be at least 3 feet higher than any point  
of the roof within 10 feet (Fig. 6).  
An entry port for the stovepipe must be  
cut through the chimney with minimum  
damage to the fire clay liner. Some  
involvedmeasurementsmayberequired  
to locate the flue liner exactly. Before  
cutting, take time to mark the size and  
position of the entry port. Position the  
entry port so that at least 8 inches of the  
flue liner remains below the port.  
2. Two heaters connected into the  
same chimney flue.  
Do not vent up through the fireplace  
opening, regardless of whether the fire-  
place opening is closed.  
3. Same flue being used to ventilate the  
cellar orbasement. Ifthere isa cleanout  
opening at the base of the chimney, it  
must be closed tightly and sealed.  
MASONRY CHIMNEY have several  
positive attributes: If properly built, they  
arequitedurable,andmosthomeowners  
consider them more attractive perhaps  
than a non-enclosed factory built  
chimney. And, if the chimney is located  
within the confines of the house (that is,  
not attached to an exterior wall), its  
mass alone will store heat longer and  
continue to release the heat long after  
the fire has died. Masonry chimneys  
have many disadvantages though.  
6. Other chimney/flue inadequacies  
covered else where in this manual.  
Keep in mind that wood mantels and  
combustible trim around the fireplace  
must have adequate clearances from  
the heater and stovepipe or must be  
protected in an approved manner. Also,  
be sure to leave at least 24" clearance  
between the top of the stovepipe and  
the combustible ceiling or other com-  
bustibles.Placingthecenteroftheentry  
port 2 feet below the ceiling will insure  
proper clearance for 6 inch, 8 inch, and  
10 inch stovepipes. Next, install a fire  
clay (at least 5/8 in. thick) or metal  
thimble, being sure that the thimble is  
flush with the inner flue lining. Secure  
the thimble in place with refractory mor-  
tar. The thimble should be surrounded  
on all sides with 8 inches of brickwork  
(solid masonry units) or 24 inches of  
stone.  
NOTE:  
A draft reading of .05 to .06 w.c. is suggested for proper burning of this  
unit.  
CHIMNEY MAINTENANCE  
CREOSOTE-FORMATION AND NEED FOR REMOVAL  
If creosote has accumulated, it should  
be removed.  
When wood is burned slowly, it pro-  
duces 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.  
Masonry chimneys constructed on an  
exterior wall are exposed to cold out-  
door temperatures, promoting greater  
heater loss, higher accumulations of  
creosote,andreduceddraftwhichleads  
topoorerheaterorfurnaceperformance.  
Failure to remove creosote or soot may  
cause a house fire. Creosote may be  
removed by using a chimney brush or  
othercommonlyavailablematerials. Or,  
betteryet,byacertifiedchimneysweep.  
Chimney fires burn very hot. If the chim-  
neyconnectorshouldglowred,immedi-  
ately call the fire department, then re-  
duce the fire by closing the inlet air  
control and closing the damper in the  
pipe.  
The chimney connector and chimney  
should be inspected at least twice  
monthly during the heating season to  
determine if a creosote build-up has  
occurred.  
CAUTION  
A chimney fire may cause ignition of wall studs or rafters which you  
thought were safe distance from the chimney. If you have a chimney fire,  
have your chimney inspected by a qualified person before using again.

CAUTION - DO NOT OPEN OR CLOSE TOP WHEN HEATER IS HOT!  
To open, grasp TOP at front and lift all the way, then gently lower the TOP  
until the TOP SUPPORT ROD latches to hold the TOP (Fig. A).  
To close, lift TOP until the TOP SUPPORT ROD is unlatched. Pull the ROD  
forward and lower the TOP (Fig. B).  
When possible, add small amounts of  
fuel each hour or so instead of adding  
large quantities of fresh fuel every 4 to  
5 hours. This will give more complete  
combustion and less build-up of tars or  
soot in the chimney.
