surfaces next to stove. Installing stove next to vinyl
or cloth wall coverings or operating stove with burner
system where impurities (such as, but not limited to,
tobacco smoke, aromatic candles, cleaning fluids, oil
or kerosene lamps, etc.) in the air exist, may discolor
walls or cause odors.

codes. In the absence to local codes, use the current National Fuel
Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54* (USA) or the current CAN/CGA-

OPERATION
This B-vent cast iron stove with burner system is clean burning and
vents vertically. Heat is generated by both realistic flames and
glowing embers. When used without the blower accessory, the
stove with burner system requires no electricity making it ideal for
emergency backup heat.
PIEZO IGNITOR
This burner system has a piezo ignitor. This system requires no
matches, batteries, or other sources to light burner system.
When deciding the location of your stove, follow these rules:
1. Do not connect this stove and burner system to a chimney flue
serving a separate solid-fuel burning fireplace or appliance.
2. Due to high temperatures, do not locate this stove in high traf-
fic areas or near furniture or draperies.
3. Proper clearances must be maintained, see Figure 3 below and
Figure 4 on page 5.
4. This stove is a freestanding unit designed to set directly on the
floor. If your stove is to be installed directly on carpeting, vi-
nyl tile, or any combustible material other than wood, it must
be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width
and depth of the stove. See Figure 5, page 5.
