A WOODSTOVE IS ONLY AS SAFE AS ITS INSTALLATION The National Fire Protection Association's bulletins NFPA 89M -1971 and NFPA 211 -1972 recommend that woodstoves be no closer than 36" to the nearest com- bustible wall. Reflected heat could otherwise raise wall temperatures to the point of combustion. No direct contact with the stove or its fire is necessary to ignite a nearby wall. In many homes this means placing the woodstove in an inconvenient location towards the middle of the room, taking up valuable floorspace and restrict- ing interior design and comfort. Until now, the only alternative to wide stove -to -wall clearances has been custom masonry and asbestos remodelling of areas adjacent to the stove ... a time consuming and costly solution. THERMOGARD PORCELAIN COATED PANELS Reduce Space Requirements Safely, Easily and Beautifully Designed to meet the N.F.P.A. recommendations for non - combustible walls, the THERMOGARD can reduce safety clearances to a minimum of 12 ". THERMO- GARD incorporates a steel wall, backed with industrial quality, high- temperature insulating material along with the added safety of a fixed air space. These two fea- tures combined with non - conducting mounting spacers insure that dangerous heat never reaches your walls. THERMOGARD is easy and inexpensive to install, offering substantial savings over custom asbestos /masonry work. THERMOGARD relfects heat from behind the stove out into the room, conserving energy and saving more money. THER- MOGARD panels are porcelain- coated in handsome decorator colors that never fade or scratch. Match them to your interior decor and keep them clean with the wipe of a cloth. f 4 '. 0 ' 1 BACK FRONT WAS". • Panels are two feet wide, four feet high and are packed two to a carton.

As with gas or oil, there are safety measures to become accustomed to in heating with wood. This edition of SIERRA News is dedicated to the safe installation and operation of your Hearthstove. Installation on your fireplace hearth is covered in a feature beginning on this page. Us- ing your Hearthstove as a freestanding unit is (Cont. on page 2) Contents Freestanding installation p. 3 Types of wood to burn p. 5 What to do with creosote p. 6 Cleaning VYCOR glass p. 7 Starting a fire and Operating instructions • p. 7 Typical Fireplace Installation Uses Cover fireplace looks now — and feels! And owners happily report their surprise at how easy it is to install a SIERRA Hearthstove. But we're not surprised. A lot of creative plan- ning went into your Hearthstove and how it will fit your fireplace hearth. All Hearth models are designed to fit on a 16" hearth (usually, 2 courses of S" brick). Here are the five simple steps for a successful installation of your Hearthstove — either with a SIERRA Fireplace Cover Kit or with a cover you have someone make for you locally (see illustra- tion for details). Remember, you will want to be able to inspect the fireplace and chimney fre- quently for creosote buildup. 1. Place the cover against the fireplace open- ing. You will need at least 2" overlap, sides and top, so that the ceramic or fiberglass seal you add will compress to fill the gaps in the (Cont. on page 4) 3 HEARTHST {''` SAFETY (from p.1) covered on page three. Chimney clearances, safety concerns and cleaning hints are featured in several articles throughout SIERRA News — be sure to read them all. The most important single thing to remember is that your Hearthstove generates a lot of heat, as it ought to in order to warm your home. So treat it with respect! 1 Where and how you install a wood stove is much more important than other household appliances. Failure to install properly can result in loss of life or proper- ty. Contact your building inspector or fire marshal for local codes and ordinances — and follow their directions wisely. 2. Have your chimney inspected for leaks and blockage before you install your stove — consult a mason, contractor or chimney sweep. A hot fire in an old chimney can burn your house. Some old chimneys must be re -lined or replaced. 3. Never place your stove closer to an unprotected combustible wall than 36 inches (and that includes plasterboard). There are materials you can use to protect your walls and reduce the required clearance (such as brick or stone veneer, sheet metal on asbestos, etc.). Please check your local building codes for ap- proved installation. 4. Do not use more than one stove to a chimney. And do not use a gas flue for a wood stove. 5. Avoid burns. All surfaces will be hot. So wear insulated gloves (often called "barbe- que gloves ") when loading wood or remov- ing ashes. 6. Keep children away. A wood stove is nothing to play with. 7 Keep wood and other combustibles at least three feet from stove. Wood boxes, furniture, clothing, carpets or rugs can catch fire from a spark. Do not dry towels or clothes closer than three feet. 8. Open the drafts completely before you open the door. Even then, open door only 1 inch for 15.20 seconds to prevent a flashback as the fire suddenly gets more oxygen. 9. Never use gasoline, gasoline -type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or "freshen up" a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use. 10. Only use wood in sizes you can handle. Loading long, solid logs may be something for lumberjacks to boast about, but shorter splits are easier and safer for the rest of us to use — and will burn more efficiently. 2 11. Don't push a stove beyond its capacity. We have tested SIERRA stoves at high burn temperatures so that metal surfaces glow cherry red — and water -drops become steam almost before they land. But such temperatures are far beyond the point of safe usage in the home. Use your stove wisely. 12. Dispose of ashes safely. Whenever ashes get 2 or 3 inches deep in your stove, and when the fire has burned down to the ashes, remove them carefully — use a steel shovel and place them in a heavy metal container with a tight fitting lid. Assume that there are still hot coals mixed in with them — there usually are (for as long as three days!) Do not place them in the gar- bage or near anything combustible. Before you bury them, spread them on your garden or otherwise dispose of them, let ashes cool completely — but make sure you do so by leavino the container on a ce- ment floor, metal and asbestos pad, stone hearth, or on the ground — and well away from anything that might burn! 13. Buy a smoke detector and a fire extinguisher. A smoke detector can warn you of a house fire while it is still in the smoldering stage. A fire extinguisher per- manently mounted by an exit that won't be blocked by a fire may save you many times its cost. 14. Prepare your family for a fire. Rehearse what to do in the event of a fire. Plan escape routes now — don't wait for a fire to panic you into a disaster. Be sure to contact your local building inspec- tor who will inform you of the proper local building codes which pertain to radiant room heaters and chimney installations. Your building inspector will also tell you of the per - mit(s) you will require before installation. Remember, stove installations can affect your insurance! THE SIERRA FRONT -SLOPE DESIGN At optimum heat control as shown by contact thermometer tests (for an 8 -hour refill cycle) SIERRA's unique front -slope design throws more heat out into the room. Where other leading stoves show higher temperatures on rear surfaces, SIERRA actually projects more heat to the front for greater efficiency. SIERRA's tested temperature pattern gives you more heat where you want itl How To Install Your Hearthstove® Safely As A Freestanding Unit 6" or larger factory built chimney must be UL approved, installed to UL and manufacturers conditions. A spark arrestor in the chimney cap may be required — check with your building in- spector. A freestanding heater such as the Hearthstove must be placed at least 36" from combustible material (such as plasterboard, wallpaper, plywood, furniture, drapes, etc.); at least 18" from 1/4" asbestos millboard spaced 1" from wall; at least 6" from a concrete /masonry foundation wall.

The SIERRA Hearthstove is a radiant heater — so most owners place it in a frequently used area such as a family room. Since it also heats by natural convection (cold air falls, hot air rises) many owners put their Hearthstove in a base- ment recreation area — then install a warm air register in the floor above the heater (or in the basement door). It can help too if you install a register for return air in the coldest part of the house. Do not install a Hearthstove in a closet or other small enclosure. Place the Hearthstove as close to the chimney it will use as safety clearances will allow, to minimize creosote formation (see freestanding installation diagram). Wel6me Back a the Joys of Wood Heat, Americas Unlike much of the world, here in 20th cen- tury America we moved away from warming our homes with nature's only renewable resource. In the 1950's and 60's, we became increasingly ad- dicted to oil and gas heat. And all- electric homes. Yet some of our old enchantment with wood remained. Even though we built all - electric, many of us hung onto our fireplaces. Because IERRA`FIREPIACE COVER KITS`: :,SIERRA " = Deluxe': " 'or''.

(Our Deluxe Kit comes with interior clamps to hold the cover to the lintel. Simply follow the kit instructions). 2. Insert a section of 6" heavy gauge stovepipe into the Hearthstove vent (use 22 or 24 ga. aluminized, low carbon or stainless steel). Tilt stovepipe slightly upwards — about 4° — so creosote can drain back into the stove (or add an elbow to point up into the chimney area). 3. Place your Hearthstove on the hearth and slide smokepipe through cover hole, pressing vent and stove firmly against cover so the ceramic or fiberglass seal is compressed. 4. Although your Hearthstove is heavy enough to hold the cover in place we recom- mend that you secure it against shifting. Two 1 /4" lag screws on each side will normally be enough (masonry screws and shields are inex- pensive and available at most hardware or building supply stores). With a 1/4" masonry bit, drill a hole in the mortar (between bricks), insert the shield and lag bolt. Some owners drill im- mediately beside the cover — some will want to bolt directly through the fireplace cover. 5. Your fireplace mantel — if you have one — must be protected with a heat deflector, preferably a metal shield, 22 ga. or heavier. The SIERRA kit comes complete with a mantel shield. YOUR SIERRA DEALER CAN HELP YOU TO A SAFE, EFFICIENT INSTALLATION 4 there is something elemental about a flickering flame. And elementally rewarding in stoking up a fire for its radiant warmth. Then came the energy crunch. And we found ourselves busily reconsidering the benefits of wood stoves. But not the old - fashioned stoves of half a cen- tury ago. Stove manufacture has come a long way since then, chiefly in other countries of the world. Because even though some American stovemakers claim to have re- invented wood burning, the major advances really occurred in countries where stoves continued to be used. Uses of fireclay and brick developed to new levels in several Mid - eastern countries. And from Scandinavia we've received the methods for airtight conti of the stove's draft. What is our contribution? Here in America we have learned new ways to put steel together with continuous -wire MIG (metal -inert gas) welding. Improved, lighter high - density firebrick has been developed to withstand higher temperatures (2900 °) with less concentrated floor loading. Our contact temperature tests allow us to pic- ture what is happening inside the firebox during a burn cycle — to prove the benefits of each new development. We know, for instance, that VYCOR window glass passes more heat into the room than steel. Corning's glass has its origins in America's space program. It is much more resistant to thermal shock — and consequently safer — than the tempered glass found in most stoves, ovens and fireplaces. The ceramic seal SIERRA uses is another space -age improvement, superior to and safer than asbestos. So with a SIERRA wood stove you are achiev- ing the sum of continually tested engineering plus the lower costs of advanced manufacturing techniques. And the research with American consumers to discover their heating needs. One result? The SIERRA Hearthstove, design- ed to fit neatly on the hearths of America's fireplaces. And to produce a controlled home - filling warmth — with an economy of fuel — you and your family will continually appreciate! Breaking-In Your Stove Your SIERRA Hearthstove — like all new stoves — needs to be eased into operation gent- ly over several days. Finishing oils in the steel will be oxidized. Ceramic seals will settle in place. You will need to get used to the draft con- trols and find the most comfortable setting. So be patient with your new Hearthstove — and it will return your generosity with years of generous service! What Kin 'of Wood Shu1d You Burn?

The bot- tom category of wood yields about 60% of the heat of the better woods. • Be sure to air-dry green wood for at least six months. Green wood uses up a lot of BTU's steaming out the moisture — and that pro- duces more creosote. Splitting your wood helps it to dry faster, and burn easier. Stack logs so ends are open to air, Cover top against rain or snow. • Cut logs shorter than firebox! • "Be thrice warmed: once when the wood is cut, once when it is stacked, finally when burned to your pleasure."

Creosote, Creosote, Creosotes Formation and Need for Removal And Hints for Chimney Cleaning Creosote is one of the facts of life for wood burners. When wood is burned slowly, it pro- duces tar and other organic vapors, which com- bine with expelled moisture (even "dry" wood contains approximately 20% moisture) to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relativly cool chimney connectors and flue of a slow - burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited this creosote makes an extremely hot and dangerous fire. Large amounts of this tough, gummy, tar -like substance can pile up quickly and virtually choke a smokepipe. So the chimney connector and chimney (also spark arrester cap, if your chimney has one) should be inspected at least twice monthly during the heating season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred. If creosote has accumulated it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire. Creosote formations can be chipped , away from flue openings and connectors (smokepipes) with a sturdy metal blade such as a heavy duty scraper. CAUTION: the acid con- tent of creosote can cause burns to skin and eyes, so wear protective glasses and rubber gloves. The chimney itself is normally cleaned from the roof. Most stove dealers carry stiff metal brushes in sizes and shapes to fit standard flue liners. These are usually attached to rods which can be extended for the length of the chimney. Heavy creosote deposits can sometimes be loosened by slapping a tire chain against the sides of the flue — but take care not to damage the chimney liner. Some people recommend pulling a bag of wire net or chains weighted with rocks up and down the chimney. Others insist on calling pro. fessional chimney cleaners — your stove dealer can recommend a procedure. Be very careful when climbing on your roof! Creosote deposits can be minimized by — 1. Burning dry wood, particularly on warmer winter days when your fire slows down — and tends to produce more creosote. 2. If you must use green wood (and we urge you to avoid doing so) be sure to mix with some dry logs. 3. Regularly when loading the stove, encourage a hot, brisk fire for 10.15 6 minutes. This will tend to "burn off" any small accumulations of creosote since the last hot fire. 4. If you do have a chimney fire, call the fire department immediately — only then at- tempt to control the fire. Throw a double handful of coarse salt or baking soda on the logs. Close the finger -spin draft regulators completely to shut off air to the fire. Wet down your roof and adjacent areas to keep fire from spreading.

Add a few larger splits of dry wood on top of the kindling. 3 • Make sure the finger -spin draft regulators ' are fully open. , 4 Light the paper under the kindling with a ' match or lighter. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE GASOLINE, LIGHTER FLUID, CHARCOAL STARTER, KEROSENE OR ANY OTHER SUCH FUEL TO START OR EN- COURAGE THE FIRE. 5 _ Close the door, and when the fire has pro- ' perly "caught," then turn the draft regulators in to where the fire is burning at a suitable rate. Avoid the extremes of too hot a fire or too slow a burn (produces excessive amounts of creosote). 6 When kindling has been consumed and ' larger splits are burning well (in perhaps 10.15 minutes) then load stove to the level you desire. The SIERRA Hearthstove front slope design allows more room for logs than many other stoves — enough for 10 -14 hours of con- tinuous warmth. Reload when convenient — but while you still have a good bed of glowing embers. Be sure to open the draft regulators before • opening the door — and open the door only I/2 inch for 15.20 seconds to avoid a flashback as the fire suddenly gets more oxygen. 8 • Remember that any stove requires an ade- quate source of air. Some houses are so well sealed that your fire will consume more oxygen than is safe for you. Open a nearby win- dow slightly. The VYCOR glass on your Hearthstove Classic is designed by Corning for high temperature performance. The 96% silica glass will with- stand thermal shock (e.g. cold water or snow on hot glass) better than any other formulation. However, VYCOR glass will break if struck with sufficient force. So be careful when loading your Hearthstove. You can break your VYCOR window by jamming a log against it. Also, never load your Hearthstove with materials which could ignite explosively, or with wood that pops vigorously — even small explo- sions in a confined space may blow out the glass. Inspect the glass regularly for cracks or breaks. If you find a crack or break, extinguish the fire immediately and obtain a new VYCOR glass from your dealer. Cleaning the glass on a Hearthstove Contem- porary 1200 or 2200 model is easy. When the stove has cooled down, open the doors and wipe the inside of the glass with a dry cloth to remove superficial ash dust. You may want to use a foam oven cleaner — but be sure not to scratch the glass. Scratches can develop into cracks or breaks. For a Hearthstove Classic 1000 or 2000 model, remove the glass front by removing the four brass knobs which hold the glass frame in place (be sure the stove has cooled down and there Is no danger of sparks or flame coming out the opening). Wipe the glass free of dust with a dry cloth and reinstall — it's as easy as that! Corning glass is relatively self - cleaning. That is, creosote or soot will burn off during a nor- mally vigorous fire (approximately 700 °). Dur- ing the fall and spring seasons you may find yourself damping the fire down, which will pro- duce more than the ordinary amounts of creosote and soot. But these discolorations will burn off with a hearty fire. There is a breaking -in period for stoves, usually two or three weeks of normal firing. A certain amount of finishing oils remain in the pores of the steel and until these are thoroughly exhausted, some deposit on the glass is to be ex- pected. REMEMBER - NEVER OVERFIRE YOUR STOVE! 7 The &during Crasmanship In Your SIERRA Hearthstove® Your SIERRA Hearthstove is hand crafted of 1/4" and 5/16" plate steel (1) with continuous wire MIG (metal-inert gas) welding for strength and warp resistance. 2900° high - density firebrick (2) is lighter and stronger.
