Important
Improper instaliation of your Bizze King® woodstove, or failure to operate it according to ihe
guidelines detailed in these instructions, may negate your Warranty and encanger your home and
family.
Foryeers of caretree, e'ficient heating, follow building and fire codes during installation and consult
these instructions when operating your Blaze King! woodsiove.
Some Cautions
1, Sioves must be vented ONLY to the outside. not to other rooms or buildings.
2. Only 6”, listed, factory-built, low heat chimney systems with a spark arrester may be used.
NOTE: Only chimney systems that were tested for use with this stove may be employec. SEE AP.
PROVED PIPE SYSTEMS. |
NEVER vent your woodburning stove into a “Class B"gas vent chimney, Check withlocal authorities
to make sure that you are not doing so inadvertently if you are using an existing chimney.
No single wall vent or connecior may be used.
The combustion air inlet must communicate {0 the outside air.
THIS WOODSTOVE SHOULD NOT BE INSTALLED IN A SLEEPING ROOM!
Locate the area where the stove is desired. Determine where the ceiling and fioor joists are, and posi.
tion the stove so that the chimney penetration and air intake penetration will be betveen ceiling
joists and floor joists and will not interfere with plumbing or electrical wiring.

Building Codes and Permits
Some areas may require a permit from the city. county, Building Inspector or Fire Marshai. Check
local building codes before beginning installation. After the installation is completed. il should be
checked by your local Fire Marshal or Building Inspector before use.
This Blaze King woodstove for Mobile Homes conforms 10 the Department of Housing and Urban
Development standards for Mobile Homes. Installation must conform to local codes and ordinances.
Selection of Stove Location
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) will recognize this appliance only if it is
connected 10 a 6”, listed, prefabricated, low heal chimney as tested with the stove and minimum
clearances {io combustibles are observed.

When deciding exactly where to position your stove, consider that you will want to place the stove as
nearas practicable to the center of your home for maximum heat efficiency. Hot air rises, so a layer of
warm air will form along the ceiling and spread outward and upward to other areas of the house.
Moreover, the actual placement of your stove must take into careful consideration suchiactorsasthe
areas through which the pipe venting will occur, including the presence of electrical wiring, plumbing,
ceiling joisis, rafters, and the position of suitably strong floor joists; as well as the patiern of foot traffic
through the room.
WARNING: DO NOT cut ceiling joists or rafters.
DO check floor joists for proper support of your stove.
THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE MOBILE HOME FLOOR, WALL, AND CEILING/
ROOF MUST BE MAINTAINED.
is important to remember that in order for your Blaze King® woodstove to make the most efficient
use of both its radiant heating and/or convective heating Capabilities, furniture musi be kept well away
from your stove. Radiant heat from the siove will strike nearby objects and 90 no further, creating a “hot
Spot” in your room, wherein the objecis themselves and not the room are warmed. Moreover, the close
proximity of furniture ang other such combustible objects 10 your stove may constitute a fire hazard.
Radiant and Convective Heat
All woodburning units use radiant heat—the heat that radiates from a warm object in all directions
(like light from a bulb) end strikes Objects in its path, warming them. Like light, when radiant heat is stop.
ped by an object, it will 90 NO further, A “shadow” of cold then develops behind objects that hzve sion-
ped the radiant heat. With the palented Jel-Air design, Blaze King® woodstoves have added convective
heat to the radiant heat already present.
Air moves upward when if is warmed and downwarg when cooled. This air movement helps to spread
warmth throughout the home. In the Jet-Air models of Blaze King” voodstoves, cool airis drewn from
near floor level, warmed zs it passes through the heal exchanger manifolds inside the firebox, end
passes through the side ceramic decoration into the room. This convection heating distributes ihe heat
to all areas more efficiently,

Floor and Wall Protection
Consideration must be made for following your local building codes regarding necessary air spaces
between non-combustible and combustible materials when installing your stove, THESE AIR SPACES
CANNOT BE IGNORED. Since sufficient air space constitutes one of the best forms of insulation inthe
installation of woodburning units, the safety of yourhome and family will depend largely on how well the
local ordinances regarding such air spaces are foliowed.
The floor area below the stove must be protected with a hearth extension of ¥2 "minimum thickness
non-combustible material, extending at least 8" beyond each side and 20% "in front of the stove base.
See figure 4.
Chimneys
Freestanding woodstoves for mobile home installation can only be vented into ‘Class A’ factory built,
prefabricated chimneys, (listed by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. orotherapproved laboratories) {ested
for use with this stove and installed through the ceiling. See Approved Pipe Systems.
Under no conditions may more than one woodburning appliance be connected io one chimney. A
proper chimney is most important for safe, satisfactory operation of any wood healing system.
Generally, the taller the chimney, the stronger and more dependable the dratt. The chimney should
also be kept warm to enhance the draft and protect against condensation of waler vapor and smoke,
which creates creosote. A build-up of creosote can reduce the draft and will become a potential fire
hazard.
A chimney should extend at least three feet above a flat roof, or at least two feet above any part of the
roof within 10 feet. Chimney tops should NEVER be near trees or other tail objects that might cause
down-draits.
There are two major types of stove pipe—insulated and not insulated. Insulated pipe (Class À) is ac-
tually pre-fabricated chimney. Only listed 6 "insuleied pipe which was tested with the stove is approved
for use with mobile home installations. See Approved Pipe Systems.
The smoke collar accepts only 6” insulzied pipe. The smaller end of the pipe fits into the collar to
enable any distiliztes which may form in the chimney to fall back into the stove.
Outside Air Supply
For proper installation, itis mandatory thai ouiside air for combustion be used. An OUTSIDE AIR KIT
is provided with your siove.

Mark the position for the hole in the ceiling and roof by using a string and plumb-bob,
. Check that the intended location will not interfere with floor joists, Celling joists, or rafters before
proceecing further.
. Mark the positions for the tie downs and ihe hole for the outside air hose.
. Move the stove and install the front tie down. Using a saber saw with a masonry blade, cut a 2% "
hole for the outside air hose.
. Cut a pilot hole in ceiling.
Cut a 14%” square hole and frame in both sides of this hole in both ceiling and roof (FOR SAFE
INSTALLATION HOLE MUST NOT BE SMALLER THAN 1472),
Measure the distance from the ceiling to the top of any combustible material. If required, trim the
top of the joist shield so that it will clear any combustible material when installed in step 13. Note
that the joist shield may extend completely through the roof on some installations and may require
trimming only to allow the proper positioning and attachment of the roof flashing and storm collar.
See Fig. 6.
Slide the stove back into position, engaging the raised lip on the front tie down.
Mark the position for the back tie gowns. Slide stove forward, drill pilot holes and slide stove back
into position, engaging front tie down. |
Install the remaining two tie downs with the raised lip over the inside back edge of the stove base
To stan installing pipe, place the first section of pipe over the stove flue so thal the inner pipe slips
inside of the flue collar.
Install the remaining lengths of insulated pipe one on top of the other {0 the finished height of the
chimney connector, and secure to each other. When approaching the ceiling, slip the ceiling trim
piate and joist shield overthe chimneysothatafierthe chimneyis exiended through theceiling, the
ceiling trim plate can be secured to the ceiling. The joist shield resis on the ceilino trim plate but is
not secured to it. CAUTION: Since the Chimney section lengihs vary, you will! need 10 calcuiate
where the joints will come 10 ensure that they do not come between the cething and root.
Slip the roof flashing down over the chimney and neil to the roof, being careful to keer the pine
centered inthe opening. NOTE; To mee! the Code, the chimney must extend above the roof a: least
inree feet and iwo feet above any area of the roof within ten feet of the chimney,
Attach the outside air cap to the bottom of the airintake tube by snapping it info place. Install the
outside airhose down through the hole cut in step 5. Placethe outside airring overthe top end of the
outside air hose and install the hose to the Outside air cap. Tighten the outside ring.
Install the side ceramics by holding each Carefully in place within the raised ouiline. Gently foldihe

On Jet-Air models, atizch the blower motor. This motor is attached tothe blower intake on the rear
of the stove with four seli-tapping screws. it is equipped with a three-prong (grounded) piug to pre-
vent shock hazard. THIS PLUG SHOULD BE INSERTED DIRECTLY INTO A PROPERLY GROUNDED,
THREE-PRONGED RECEPTACLE. DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING FRONG FROM
THIS PLUG.
Transporting the Mobile Home
When moving the mobile home, any paris of Ihe chimney extending thirteen feet six inches from the
ground must be disassembled prior to moving. Be caref ui in removing the 10p sections so that the lower
joints are not loosened causing soot to enter the mobile home. be sure all paris are properly secured
before placing the stove in ANeralion.

Fuel
Blaze King? woogstoves will burn just about anything. Therefore, it is tempting to burn materials
which are inadvisable. Green softwoods burn slowly and with smoke. The scot and moist tar from this
smoke sticks to the inside of the chimney. Moisture in green wood will release a great amount of vapor
which will condense ontheinside of the chimney. The use of dry wood will relard any excessive build up.
Do not burn trash, paper, pine branches or artificial fire logs. Such abuse may void the warraniy.
Flammable Liquids
NEVER use gasoline. gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene. charcoa! lighter fluid. or similar liquids to
start or "freshen up” afireinth:s stove. Keep atl such liquids well away from the stove while itis in use.
THIS STOVE IS FOR USE WITH WOOD AND CHARCOAL ONLY.
The First Fire
Set the thermostat to HIGH (fully counterclockwise).
‘Place two or three large balls of crumpled paper in the front of the firebox. Lay some small dry sticks
or wood chips on top of the peper as kindling. Use enough to establish a good fire base. Lay one or 1wo
larger pieces of wood (small logs) on top of the kindling. Light the paper, close the door, and aliow the
fire to get a good sian. |

с Now open the door and carefully add three or four good sized logs. More can be added if desired
— without increasing the heat output—the fire will just burn longer. Close the door lightly and set the
thermostat {0 low (clockwise).
On the Jet-Air model, turn on the fan if desired.
NOTE: As you heat up the stove for the first time, the paint will go through a curing process and it will
give off an odor. To minimize this inconvenience, burn the stove at a low lemperature setting for several
hours. Hf the odor gets too unpleasant, you may have to open a door or window slightly until the odor
dissipates.

Lubrication
Lubricate the fan motor bearings of the Jet-Air mode! every six monihs with 10 to 20 drops of SAE 10W
or SAE 20W non-detergent oil (ML-1ype) or with electric motor oil.
CAUTION: Do not over-lubricate. The excess oil may damage the windings or electrical wiring on the
motor.
Paínt
ifthe black finish on the siove ever becomes blemished, you canrepaint with high temperature paint
available from your dealer. Do not paint the stove while it is hot.
Ash Removal
The ashes must be removed from ihe stove anytime they sian getting close to covering the draft inlet
in the stove firebox. The frequency with which you need 1c empty the ashes depends on the type of fuel
being used. Remove ashes only when they are cold so the hot coals are not dumped where they may
start a fire. +
- Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tioht-fittino lid. The closed container of ashes
should be placed on a noncombustible floor or onthe ground, well away from all combustible materials,
"pending {inal disposal. lf the ashes are disposed of by burial in the soil or otherwise locally dispersed,
they should be retained in the closed container until thoroughly cooled.
Creosote— Formation and Need for Removal
When wood is burned slowly, il produces iar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled
moisture {o form creosote. The creosote vepors condense inthe relatively cool chimney flue of a2 slow-
burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote
makes an exiremely hot fire. The chimney connecior and chimney should be inspected at leas! twice
monthly during the heeling season {0 determine if e creosote buildup hes occurred.
li creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of 2 chimney fire.
