INTRODUCTION
Your new MODEL 21 is a non-catalytic unit designed to meet the most stringent emissions
standards without the use of a catalytic combustor. This effect is achieved through the use of
secondary air which is mixed with primary air in the unit’s firebox.
For peak performance, we suggest the use of hard seasoned natural wood, loading wood length
way from front to rear.
NOTE: Soft woods such as pine, create more creosote, clogging of chimney and produce a less
efficient burn performance.
You should not burn trash or garbage, artificial or paper logs, gift wrapping, treated or painted
wood or any type of coal.
DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO START THE FIRE.
DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS.”
The primary air, which is controlled by the user, burns the wood. Secondary air is admitted into
firebox through secondary air tubes at top of the firebox. This secondary air burns impurities in
the smoke released from initial wood burning. The temperature necessary for this combustion is
maintained through the firebrick refractory. If any more technical information is necessary,
contact your local dealer.
A factory-built prefabricated chimney may be used for your unit when installed in compliance
with the manufacturer's specification and uniform building code.
These units may also be used with optional room air blower. To order optional motor assemblies
you must specify the stove model number and give one of the following part number:
*Model 21 Motor AssemblyMA5126715
For operation and use of these electrical assemblies, see instructions provided with the motor
assembly kits.

MASONRY INSERT INSTALLATION
The Model 21 may be installed using an all masonry fireplace built in accordance with the
Uniform Building Code and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). The first step in
this type of installation is to determine the acceptability of fireplace and chimney for use with a
woodstove. Both construction and condition of fireplace are important
considerations when installing a woodstove. The chimney should extend at least 3' above roof
and at least 2' above any point of the roof within 10'. (See Page 5, Figure 3).

Floor Protection:
When installing freestanding heater, a floor protector must be use. Floor protector must be 3/8”
minimum thickness non-combustible material or equivalent.
How to use alternate materials and how to calculate equivalent thickness
An easy means of determining if a proposed alternate floor protector meets requirements listed
in the appliance manual is to follow this procedure:
1. Convert specification to R-value:
R-value is givenno conversion is needed.
K-factor is given with a required thickness (T) in inches:
C-factor is given: R=1/C
2. Determine the R-value of the proposed alternate floor protector.
Use the formula in step (1) to convert values not expressed as “R”
For multiple layers, add R-values of each layer to determine the overall R-value.
3. If the overall R-value of the system is grater than the R-value of the specified floor protec-
tor, the alternate is acceptable.
Example:
The specified floor protector should be 3/4” thick material with a K-factor of 0.84.
The proposed alternate is 4” brick with a C-factor of 1.25 over 1/8” mineral board with a
K-factor of 0.29.
Step (a): Use formula above to convert specification to R-value. R= 1/K x T = 1/0.84 x .75 =
0.893
Step (b): Calculate R of proposed system. 4” brick of C=1.25, therefore Rbrick = 1/C = 1/1.25
=0.80 1/8” mineral board of K = 0.29, therefore Rmin.bd. =1/029 x0.125 = 0.431
Step (c): Compare proposed system R of 1.231 to specified R of 0.893. Since proposed
system R is greater than required , the system is acceptable.

mounting screws and repositioning in slot.
8. Reinstall top trim panel by sliding rear lip of top trim panel underneath front lip of mounting bracket already
secured to top of unit.
NOTE: Mount top trim panel so that it sits in front of top of side trim panels.
9. Obtain brass trim kit provided with unit and slip over top and sides of trim panels. (Top ends of brass may
need to be trimmed to fit).
POSITIONING THE HEATER
NOTE: If the three suggested installations have been
chosen, certain steps must be followed when installing
heater into a masonry fireplace.
When positioning heater, the following conditions
MUST be met! (See Figure 5).
1. The front of damper opening must be positioned
BEHIND back edge of the lintel to ensure proper
draft. (See Figure 5).
2. Center heater in fireplace opening.
MOUNTING THE TRIM PANELS
After unit is positioned as shown in (Figure 8), mark
mounting position of trim panels as follows:
1. Place side trim panels in place, flat against the face
of the fireplace. Mark down front edge of trim panel
with a pencil to make a vertical reference line. (See
Figure 6).
2. Place top (long) trim panel in place on top of unit.
The panel should be flat against the outside face

INSTALLATION PREPARATION
1. Relocate furniture and other materials away from front of fireplace to allow free access to fireplace.
2. Cover hearth and adjacent floor areas with a drop cloths to protect from soiling or marring surface.
3. Remove existing fireplace damper plate.
4. Thoroughly clean fireplace of ashes and soot.
5. Check chimney and smoke chamber for excessive buildup of creosote or soot. Also, check for obstructions,
such as birds nests. If chimney is excessively dirty, clean it or have someone clean it professionally BEFORE
installing or using room heater.
6. If fireplace has an ash dump or outside air provision, these must be sealed off with metal or tightly packed non
-combustible insulation to prevent cold air from entering fireplace chamber.
10. If direct connect or positive connect kit is not used, follow instructions in mounting trim panels, steps 1-4c on page 10.
11. Mount top trim panel by drilling mounting holes in center of trim panel mounting brackets, with top end side of top panel
overlapping side panel.
12. Using insulation provided, peel and stick to back of panels overlapping fireplace dimensions by 1” on each side and top. (See Page 8,
Figure 6).
13. Next using high heat silicone or furnace cement run heavy bead of caulking around where panels meet stove. (See Figure 7).
14. Slide the unit back into fireplace. Check to be sure that trim panels (and brass) are properly positioned and lie flat against front of
fireplace. If panels are out of position, slide unit out and reset by loosening mounting screws and repositioning in the slot. Using the
bar, lift stove in front. Place insulation across front and the surface of hearth or bottom of fireplace, to make complete seal.
15. To check seal of panels, use candle flame and go around entire area sealed by silicone and insulation. If flame leans toward inside
of fireplace, add additional insulation. This ensures an airtight seal.

MASONRY INSERT INSTALLATION OPTIONS
This unit (appliance) may be installed into an all masonry fireplace, built in accordance with the
Uniform Building Code and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 211).
NOTE: Check with local building officials for any permits required for installation of this unit
and notify your insurance company before proceeding with installation
In some cases, such as improperly drawing fireplaces, oversize flue liners are to meet codes in
certain areas it is recommended that one of the flowing procedures be followed:
A. A Chimney Connector can be installed from the appliance flue exit through the damper
and an air-tight face seal. (See option (A) Page 9).
B. A listed Direct Connect can be installed from the appliance flue exit through the damper
into the first section of the flue liner with air-tight seal. (See option (B) Page 9).
C. A Positive Connect can be installed from the appliance flue exit continuing up through the
entire chimney and exiting at the top of the chimney. (See option (C) Page 9).
NOTE: If mounting trim panels, See Page 8-9.
FINAL CHECK
1. Recheck specified clearances.
2. Remove all foreign material from firebox area.
3. Open the primary air draft.
4. Plug power cord into a 115V AC outlet if optional motor is being used. Do not run cord
under unit or in high traffic areas.
5. Place crumpled pieces of newspaper in the stove. Light it and close door. Ensure that the
stove draws properly through primary draft.
6. Check for smoke leaks around door.
7. Open door and check for smoke escaping from front of stove. Smoking usually indicates
a defective or poorly positioned chimney. Some chimneys with a marginal draft can be
preheated by lighting newspaper and holding it near open damper with a poker or fire tong.
Once the chimney heats up, a proper draft can usually be obtained.
If a thorough review of the Troubleshooting Guide in the manual does not reveal the problem,
contact your dealer for assistance.

Chimney
This model is designed for connection to any listed 2100º UL103 HT chimneys and parts.
Follow chimney manufacturer's instructions carefully.
This room heater must be converted to (1) a chimney complying with the requirements for
Type HT chimneys in the Standard for chimneys, Factory-Built, Residential, Type and
Building Heating Appliance, UL 103 or (2) a code approved masonry chimney with a flue
liner.
Floor Protection:
Floor protection must be 3/8” minimum thickness non-combustible material or equivalent.
How to use alternate materials and how to calculate equivalent thickness
An easy means of determining if a proposed alternate floor protector meets requirements listed
in the appliance manual is to follow this procedure:
1. Convert specification to R-value:
R-value is givenno conversion is needed.
K-factor is given with a required thickness (T) in inches:
C-factor is given: R=1/C
2. Determine the R-value of the proposed alternate floor protector.
Use the formula in step (1) to convert values not expressed as “R”
For multiple layers, add R-values of each layer to determine the overall R-value.
3. If the overall R-value of the system is grater than the R-value of the specified floor protec-
tor, the alternate is acceptable.
Example:
The specified floor protector should be 3/4” thick material with a K-factor of 0.84.
The proposed alternate is 4” brick with a C-factor of 1.25 over 1/8” mineral board with a
K-factor of 0.29.
Step (a): Use formula above to convert specification to R-value. R= 1/K x T = 1/0.84 x .75 =
0.893
Step (b): Calculate R of proposed system. 4” brick of C=1.25, therefore Rbrick = 1/C = 1/1.25
=0.80 1/8” mineral board of K = 0.29, therefore Rmin.bd. =1/029 x0.125 = 0.431
Step (c): Compare proposed system R of 1.231 to specified R of 0.893. Since proposed
system R is greater than required , the system is acceptable.

Page 30
FINAL CHECK
1. Recheck specified clearances.
2. Remove all foreign material from firebox area.
3. Open primary air draft.
4. Plug power cord into a 115V AC outlet when using with optional motor. Do not run cord
under unit or in high traffic areas.
5. Place crumpled pieces of newspaper in the stove. Light it and close the door. Ensure that
stove draws properly through primary draft.
6. Check for smoke leaks around the door.
If a thorough review of the Troubleshooting Guide in the manual does not reveal problem,
contact your dealer for assistance.
CAUTION
Open the door and check for smoke escaping from the front of stove. Smoking usually
indicates a defective or poorly positioned chimney. Some chimneys with a marginal draft
can be preheated by lighting newspaper and holding it near open damper with a poker or
fire tong. Once the chimney heats up, a proper draft can usually be obtained.
CAUTION
The unit is painted with a specially formulated high temperature paint that cures during
the first two or three firings. You may notice a slight smoking effect and an odor of
burning paint when you build the first fires. This is normal and is not a cause for alarm.
In some cases, these fumes will activate a smoke alarm. Opening a window near the unit
will allow these fumes to escape. DO NOT build a large, roaring fire until this curing
is complete or heater finish may be damaged.
Page 31
ALCOVE INSTALLATION
AND CLEARANCES
Select an installation location that will give the best airflow
from the front of the heater to the remainder of the home
PREPARING THE STOVE FOR INSTALLATION
1. Inspect the unit for any obvious physical damage.
2. Plug the power cord into a 115V AC outlet to test the motor and fan when optional motor is
being used. Do not run power cord under unit or in high traffic areas.
3. Check the primary air draft control to ensure that it slides freely.(See Figure 29).
4. Remove any items from within firebox. Spread a dropcloth on door behind heater. Next, tilt
heater so that back is on the drop cloth.
5. If leg kit is to be used follow steps 1-6.
6. Then obtain four legs, attach legs to holes in bottom of unit with bolts and washers supplied
with the leg kit. (See Figure 29).
7. Open freestanding kit and obtain stand. Place stand against bottom of heater (angle side to
heater).Center stand front to rear and also center stand left and right. Mark screw locations
on bottom of the stove through outer holes of stand mounting angles. Set stand aside and
drill four 7/32" holes in heater bottom.Then mount stand to bottom of heater with screws
provided. (See Figure 30).
8. Obtain four (4) 3/16" self-tapping screws and secure the stand to the heater.
9. Reposition the heater to the upright position.

Floor Protection:
Floor protection must be 3/8” minimum thickness non-combustible material or equivalent.
How to use alternate materials and how to calculate equivalent thickness
An easy means of determining if a proposed alternate floor protector meets requirements listed
in the appliance manual is to follow this procedure:
1. Convert specification to R-value:
R-value is givenno conversion is needed.
K-factor is given with a required thickness (T) in inches:
C-factor is given: R=1/C
2. Determine the R-value of the proposed alternate floor protector.
Use the formula in step (1) to convert values not expressed as “R”
For multiple layers, add R-values of each layer to determine the overall R-value.
3. If the overall R-value of the system is grater than the R-value of the specified floor protec-
tor, the alternate is acceptable.
Example:
The specified floor protector should be 3/4” thick material with a K-factor of 0.84.
The proposed alternate is 4” brick with a C-factor of 1.25 over 1/8” mineral board with a
K-factor of 0.29.
Step (a): Use formula above to convert specification to R-value. R= 1/K x T = 1/0.84 x .75 =
0.893
Step (b): Calculate R of proposed system. 4” brick of C=1.25, therefore Rbrick = 1/C = 1/1.25
=0.80 1/8” mineral board of K = 0.29, therefore Rmin.bd. =1/029 x0.125 = 0.431
Step (c): Compare proposed system R of 1.231 to specified R of 0.893. Since proposed
system R is greater than required , the system is acceptable.

FINAL CHECK
1. Recheck specified clearances.
2. Remove all foreign material from firebox area.
3. Open primary air draft.
4. Plug power cord into a 115V AC outlet when using with optional motor. Do not run cord
under unit or in high traffic areas.
5. Place crumpled pieces of newspaper in the stove. Light it and close the door. Ensure that
stove draws properly through the primary draft.
6. Check for smoke leaks around the door.
If a thorough review of the Troubleshooting Guide in the manual does not reveal the problem,
contact your dealer for assistance.
CAUTION
Open door and check for smoke escaping from front of stove. Smoking usually indicates a
defective or poorly positioned chimney. Some chimneys with a marginal draft can be
preheated by lighting newspaper and holding it near the open damper with a poker or fire
tong. Once the chimney heats up, a proper draft can usually be obtained.
CAUTION
The unit is painted with a specially formulated high temperature paint that cures during
the first two or three firings. You may notice a slight smoking effect and an odor of
burning paint when you build the first fires. This is normal and is not a cause for alarm.
In some cases, these fumes will activate a smoke alarm. Opening a window near the unit
will allow these fumes to escape. DO NOT build a large, roaring fire until this curing is
complete or the heater finish may be damaged.
Page 37
WOOD HEATER SAFETY
Certain safety hazards are inherent in any wood heater installation. You should be aware of
these so that a safe and proper installation can be made.
1. FAULTY CHIMNEY: An older masonry chimney should be thoroughly checked to be sure
there are no holes or weak spots which could allow sparks or hot gases to escape.
2. HEAT CONDUCTION: Placing combustible materials too close to a heater or chimney can
be a fire hazard.
By keeping these particular hazards in mind as you install and use your room heater you can
ensure a safe, reliable installation.
The chimney and chimney connector should be inspected once every two months. Any build-up
of soot should be removed to prevent risk of a chimney fire. To remove chimney or chimney
connector, remove screws or fasteners then remove pipe and clean with steel brush. Replace
chimney or chimney connector. Replace screws and/or fasteners.
CAUTION: Never remove ashes from heater with blower running.
DISPOSAL OF ASHES: Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid.
The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground,
well away from all combustible materials pending final disposal. If ashes are disposed of by
burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in closed container until all
cinders have thoroughly cooled.
CREOSOTEFORMATION AND NEED FOR REMOVAL: When wood is burned
slowly, it produces 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 flue lining. When ignited this creosote makes
an extremely hot fire.
SECTION VIII
CAUTION
NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE,
CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR "FRESHEN
UP" A FIRE IN THE HEATER. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM
STOVE WHEN IT IS IN USE. ALL FLUIDS OF THIS TYPE GIVE OFF
VOLATILE FUMES AND CAN AND WILL EXPLODE! DON'T TAKE A CHANCE
WITH SAFETY OF YOUR HOME AND FAMILY.
Page 38
SECTION VI OPERATION/EFFICIENCY
1.“To maximize the efficiency of your wood stove make sure it is sized properly for the space you plan to heat. An
oversized stove will burn and be forced to burn at a lower and dirtier burn rate. Consult with your dealer for sizing
your stove correctly.
2. Use dry, seasoned wood only. Recommended fire wood length 11” front to back. Using wet wood will greatly
reduce your efficiency.
3. Consult with your installer/dealer to correctly place the stove in your home. An incorrectly placed stove can
greatly reduce efficiency.
Maximizing the efficiency of your stove will heat your house quickly, burn cleaner and use less wood.
Use dried split wood (6-12 months) and placed from front to back position in heater. (See Page 5 Bottom
Picture).
"This wood heater has a manufacturer-set minimum low burn rate that must not be altered. It is against federal
regulations to alter this setting or otherwise operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent with operating
instruction in this manual."
NOTE: "Following all suggested operating and maintenance procedures will help minimize visual emissions.
The following steps will serve as a guide for operating your stove.
BUILDING A FIRE
1. Open door.
2. Open primary air control. Primary air intake draft control is located at center bottom side of hearth. It is operated
by moving handle IN to open (to allow air into firebox) or OUT to control or close off the firebox. (Figure 35
primary air control
).
1. Twist two pieces of non-colored newspaper into a roll and place them on floor of firebox.
NOTE: Do not use grate or elevate fire. Build wood fire directly on inner bottom of fire box.
2. This model is not designed for use of grates, andirons or other methods of supporting fuel.
3. Lay several pieces of dry kindling on top of newspaper.
4. Place three or four small pieces of firewood, 2"-3" in diameter, on top of kindling.
5. Light newspaper in front. Close and latch door. Don't leave fire unattended at this point. The draft system of
heater should start quickly. It may be necessary to preheat chimney to get draft started. To do this, open door
and add newspaper to top rear of wood. Light or let this paper ignite and allow to burn while holding the door
slightly cracked. Once draft has started, close and lock door. You are over- heating the unit if the chimney and or
connector glows red.
6. NOTE: After embers and a coal bed have been established, load heater with seasoned natural hard wood,
placing it front to rear.
NOTE: THE FUELING DOOR MUST REMAIN CLOSED DURING OPERATION.
Your stove is equipped with an automatic thermostat. When stove gets hot enough, thermostat will activate
room air blower. Set fan speed on low, when burning on low, med-low or med-high. Set fan speed on high when
burning on high.
NOTE: When refueling or removing ashes turn “OFF” room air blower. Be sure to turn room air blower back
on when finished.
NOTE: Do not run power cord underneath heater or in walk way or heavy traffic areas.

DOOR GASKET REPLACEMENT (COLD HEATER)
To replace deteriorated gaskets, following steps must be taken to ensure proper installation of gaskets.
1. Obtain proper gaskets and silicone glue from your local dealer.
2. Using pliers, remove any worn and deteriorated gaskets.
3. Using a scraper, wire brush and sandpaper or steel wool, clean glue and gasket residue from door frame.
4. Measure and cut gaskets to length. Care should be taken not to stretch gaskets. What you want is a full and
loose gasket weave after attachment to framing.
5. Obtain silicone glue and run a 3/16” bead inside door frame.
6. Obtain gasket (s) and place in gasket channel areas starting at lower right corner, see below. Use a
technique which assures that gasket is applied in a loose like manner. DO NOT STRETCH GASKETS.
7. After gasket (s) are applied to glue, use your finger and go over all gasket gently pressing gasket to the
channel. Use same pressure against gasket so that final result is an evenly applied gasket.
8. Leave door open and allow at least two (2) hours for glue to dry.

and Front Secondary Air Tube reverse steps 1-3
CLEANING THE HEATER
A. The heater should not be cleaned with any type of detergent as most all detergents have an oil base and
cannot be painted over.
B. The heater should be lightly sanded with fine sandpaper or steel wool, then repainted or touched up with
high temperature paint.
C. If the heater is located in a moist or damp location, check thoroughly for signs of condensation during
times when heater is not in use.
D. When heating season is over, heater should be cleaned out completely with a wire brush or cloth to help
eliminate ash and burned wood smell.
CARE OF GLASS DOOR
The glass door on your heater permits you to enjoy the beauty of the fire while retaining efficiency of your
heater. Although brand of glass used in heater door has well established and recognized heat resistant and
strength characteristics, it can be broken through improper care. To achieve maximum utility and safety of your
glass door, we advise that you observe following use and safety tips:
1. Inspect glass regularly for cracks or breaks. If you detect a crack or break extinguish fire immediately
and return door to your dealer for glass replacement before further use.
2. Do not slam heater door or otherwise impact glass. When closing door, make sure that no logs or other
objects protrude or impact against glass.
3. Do not clean glass with materials which may scratch it (such as steel wool) or otherwise damage glass.
Scratches on the glass can develop into cracks or breaks.
The glass can be cleaned with a commercial oven cleaner, providing it does not contain abrasives. A build-up
on glass that has been there for a considerable length of time can be burned off with a propane torch or straight
razor blade. Use protective gloves when using razor.
