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).

3. Check Figures 2, 3, and 4. Be sure you have the clearances shown from the heater and
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).

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.

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.
