ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS NOTICE: Vogelzang International Corp. grants no warranty, stated or implied, for the installation or maintenance of your wood stove and assumes no responsibility of any incidental or consequential damages. TOOLS AND MATERIALS REQUIRED FOR INSTALLATION tools • • • • • • • • • Pencil 6 foot Folding Rule or Tape Measure Tin Snips Drill: Hand or Electric 1/8” dia.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS . . . continued 8. Align four (4) corner mounting studs with holes in pedestal top (Figure 7). Secure with four (4) hex nuts. 9. Tip the stove assembly upright. 10. Set the ash drawer inside the open box formed by the pedestal front and sides. Figure 5 – Insert Ash Drawer Support. Figure 8 Blower Option 11. For Optional Blower Assembly, note the position of the blower opening in the rear of the stove. 12.
LOCATING STOVE 1. The stove must be placed on solid concrete, solid masonry, or when installed on a combustible floor, on a Type 2 floor protector listed to UL 1618 such as Hy-C or Imperial Model UL3648BK or equivalent with 0.8 R-factor. (NOTE: to calculate R-value of alternative materials see page 16). The base must extend at least 16” beyond the front of the access door, 6˝ to the sides, 12˝ behind and must extend under and 2 inches beyond either side of the stove pipe if it is elbowed towards a wall.

CONNECTOR PIPE INSTALLATION 1. The crimped end of the stovepipe fits inside the stove flue collar. Install additional pipe and elbow with the crimped end towards the stove. This will allow any condensation in the flue to run back into the firebox. 2. Horizontal pipe runs must slope upwards towards the chimney at least 1/4” per foot of horizontal run. 3. You must have at least 18 inches of clearance between any horizontal piping and the ceiling. 4. The pipe cannot extend into the chimney flue (figure 13). 5.
CHIMNEY CONNECTIONS The stove must be connected to either a lined masonry or manufactured metal chimney built and tested to the specifications listed on the previous pages. Chimneys perform two functions: 1). As a means of exhausting smoke and flue gases which are the result of fuel combustion. 2). The chimney (only) provides “draft” which allows oxygen to be continuously introduced into the appliance, so that proper combustion is possible. This stove relies on natural draft to operate.
CHIMNEY CONNECTIONS continued … MANUFACTURED CHIMNEY Figure 17 - Chimney Construction through Roof REFER TO CHIMNEY AND CHIMNEY CONNECTOR MAKER’S INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION AND USE. Use only 6” diameter listed chimney UL 103 HT. Chimney made to this listing is High Temperature rated to 2100 degrees Fahrenheit. Use chimney from only one manufacturer. Never mix brands. Carefully follow the chimney manufacturer’s stated requirements and clearances.
CHIMNEY CONNECTIONS continued … or a knowledgable inspector. Consult your insurance company if you cannot find a qualified expert. CAUTION: NOT ALL FIREPLACES ARE SUITABLE FOR CONVERSION TO ACCOMMODATE A WOOD STOVE. CHECK WITH A QUALIFIED EXPERT. Many prefabricated fireplaces are of the “zero-clearance fireplace” category. These consist of multilayered metal construction.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION: HOUSE FIRE HAZARDS THIS STOVE IS DESIGNED TO BURN WOOD FUEL ONLY! • DO NOT STORE WOOD ON FLOOR PROTECTOR, UNDERNEATH STOVEPIPE OR ANYWHERE WITHIN MINIMUM CLEARANCES FROM COMBUSTIBLE SURFACES SPECIFIED FOR THIS STOVE. Hardwood, 15” to 17” should be split and air dried (seasoned), for 6 months to obtain maximum burning efficiency. Wood should be stored in a dry, well ventilated area. • OVERFIRING MAY CAUSE A HOUSE FIRE.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS continued . . . continue to burn, open the air control to re-establish the secondary flames then slowly reset the air control to the desired setting. Initially it may take several attempts to figure your stove out. But once you find the operating “sweet spot” and the correct mix of procedures to get there, only minor adjustments will be necessary. The best indicator of a properly operating stove is to look for smoke coming out of the chimney.
OPERATING continued . . . 8. Do not overfire the stove (overfiring is when any par t of the stove exterior or chimney connections glow). CAUTION: DO NOT OVERFIRE APPLIANCE. YOU ARE OVERFIRING IF THE CHIMNEY CONNECTORS OR STOVE GLOWS RED. CLOSE THE DOOR AND SHUT DAMPER IMMEDIATELY TO REDUCE THE AIR SUPPLY AND SLOW DOWN THE FIRE. CAUTION: SLOW BURNING FIRES AND EXTENDED USE MAY CAUSE EXCESSIVE CREOSOTE BUILDUP. IGNITION OF CREOSOTE OR OVERFIRING MAY CAUSE A CHIMNEY FIRE.
SERVICE HINTS continued . . . enough to keep the chimney warm preventing this condensation. 3. If the fire burns well but sometimes creates excessive smoke or burns slowly, it may be caused by the chimney top being lower than another part of the house or a nearby tree. The wind blowing over a house or tree, falls on top of the chimney like water over a dam, beating down the smoke.
