CAUTION: DO NOT TOUCH THE

HEATER UNTIL IT HAS COOLED.

ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES WHEN

REFUELING THIS UNIT OR WORKING

WITH METAL CABINET PARTS.

MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLE WALLS AND CEILINGS

Minimum clearances to unprotected combustible walls and ceilings as noted by  gures 2 through 4

must be maintained. Drapes, curtains, furniture and other combustible materials should be kept much

further away from the heater to avoid  re. If you choose to, you may install the heater and chimney

connector closer to combustible surfaces than indicated by Figures 2 through 4 IF a clearance reduction

system is also installed to protect combustible ceilings and walls near the heater and chimney connector.

However, there are limits to how close the heater and chimney connector can be installed to combustible

surfaces protected by a clearance reduction system.

A correctly installed clearance reduction system protects the combustible surfaces well beyond the sides

and above the top of the heater and beyond the sides and top of the chimney connector pipe.

Two common types of clearance reduction systems use sheet metal with a minimum thickness of 28

gauge (galvanized steel, aluminum, copper) or a 3-1/2 inch (4 inch nominal) thick masonry wall. Either

of these materials must be spaced out 1 inch from the combustible surfaces. With sheet metal, non-

combustible spacers are used to maintain the 1 inch air space. With a masonry wall, metal wall ties and

furring strips, if needed are used to anchor the brick to the wall. To avoid excessive heat transmission,

the spacers or wall ties should not be placed directly behind the

CB36 BLOWER KIT

An Optional Blower kit is available for the VG820E Heartwood automatic

wood burning circulator heater. If this kit is not available where you

have purchased this Heartwood heater, you can purchase a blower kit

directly from the factory. To order contact Vogelzang at the address

and telephone number given on the back page.

Route power cord away from unit. Do not route power cord through

walkway.

Blower operation

Rotate knob clockwise to increase airﬂ ow. Rotate counterclockwise to

reduce air ﬂ ow.

4. Be sure that your Chimney is safely constructed

and in good repair. Have the chimney inspected

by the Fire Department or a quali ed inspector

(such as a Chimney sweep). Your insurance

company may be able to recommend a quali-

 ed inspector.

5. Inspect chimney connector and chimney twice

monthly during the heating season for any de-

posit of creosote or soot which must be removed.

6. Provide air for combustion from outside the

house into the room where the heater is located.

If the intake is not in the same room, air must

have free access to the room.

7. CAST IRON PARTS MUST BE "SEASONED"

TO AVOID CRACKING. BUILD ONLY SMALL

FIRES ON FIRST USE.

8. To prevent injury, do not allow anyone to use

this heater who is unfamiliar with the correct

operation of the heater. Do not allow children

to use or in any way operate this heater.

9. For further information on using your heater

safely, obtain a copy of the National Fire

Protec-

tion Association (NFPA) publication "Using Coal

and Wood Stoves Safely" NFPA No. HS-10-1978.

 e address of the NFPA is Battery March Park,

Quincy, MA. 02269.

10. Keep the ash pit section free of excess

ashes. Do

not allow ashes to stack higher than the sides of the

ash pan. Never allow ashes to contact the grate(s).

11. DISPOSAL OF ASHES- Ashes should be

placed

in a metal container with a tight  tting

lid. Keep

the closed container on a non-combustible  oor

or on the ground, well

away from all combustible

materials. Keep

the ashes in the closed container

until all

cinders have thoroughly cooled.  e

ashes

may be buried in the ground or used

fertilizer.

12. CAUTION:  e special paints used on your

heater may give o some smoke while they are

curing during  rst few  res. Build small  res

at  rst.  e metal used in construction of the

heater has a light coating of oil.  is could give

o smoke and/or odors when heater is used for

the  rst couple of times.  is should disappear

a er a short period. Once this burn-o has

occurred, it should not reoccur.

13. CARING FOR PAINTED PARTS-  is heater

has a painted outside jacket, which is durable but

will not stand rough handling or abuse. When

installing your heater, use care in handling. Clean

with soap and warm water when heater is not

hot. DO NOT use any harsh chemicals (acids

or caustics) or scouring powder, as these wear

and dull the  nish.

14. KEEP THE FEED DOOR, ASH DOOR AND

CABINET DOOR CLOSED AT ALL TIMES

EXCEPT WHILE TENDING THE HEATER.

DO NOT OVERFIRE THE HEATER. THIS

WILL HAPPEN IF THE FEED DOOR, OR

PARTICULARLY THE ASH DOOR, IS

LEFT OPEN DURING OPERATION. UN-

DER EXTREME CONDITIONS THIS CAN

PRODUCE DANGEROUS RESULTS. AT A

MINIMUM, IT WILL ALLOW THE PAINT

TO DISCOLOR.
