Page 3: Introduction And Purpose
Introduction and Purpose The purpose of this manual is to guide and instruct Shaker stove owners in proper burning to achieve environmentally friendly combustion and to minimize the risk of incorrect use and operation of the stove. Failure to follow instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death. It is therefore very important to read this entire manual carefully before you install and use your new Shaker stove, and save the instructions. -

Page 9: Connection To The Chimney
Connection to the Chimney The Shaker stove can be connected from top or rear. The diameter of the stove pipe is 6” (152 cm). Do not use connector pipes and chimneys with smaller clearance diameters or less than 24 gauge steel. It must be installed using a Class A UL 103 HT approved factory-built chimney system or a code- approved masonry chimney with a flue liner. - Page 10 Each chimney connector or chimney connector section must be installed to the stove flue collar and to each other with the male (crimped) end toward the stove. This prevents any amount of condensed or liquid creosote from running down the outside of the pipe or the stove top.
- Page 11 211 or CAN/CSA-B365 guidelines. To install the collar on the back, first unscrew the rear plate of the Shaker stove and attach the collar to the back of stove. Then, attach the first stove pipe section to the connector pipe with screws, and replace the rear wall plate.

firebox, so a high combustion temperature can be attained rapidly. The Shaker is designed with a direct air inlet, which supplies air for the lighting phase. The primary air is used for air control once the stove is lit. It is defined as combustion air for burning and ... -
Page 13: Permitted Fuels
Permitted Fuels Only natural, air-dried firewood may be burned. Under no circumstances should rubbish, other fuels, and treated or damp wood be burned. NEVER burn impregnated or painted wood, laminated plastic, plywood, chipboard, garbage, flammable fluids such as gasoline, naphtha, engine oil, refuse, milk cartons, or printed matter. -
Page 14: Initial Use
Although the SHAKER is carefully cleaned and inspected several times, remainders of the sand blasting, or shavings of the cut of the Vermiculite plates in the fireplace can stay. We suggest you remove these with the vacuum cleaner before the first start-up. -
Page 15: Heating Up
Heating Up Fire lighting: Do not insert too much newspaper or kindling for lighting the fire. These materials generate a high temperature, which can cause irreparable damage. This kind of damage is not covered by the warranty. Combustion air supply: Initially, pull out the slider of the air control system completely pos. -
Page 16: Operation
Operation When refilling for the first time after lighting, the primary air supply should remain opened fully. Never add more than 2-4 pounds (1.5-2 kg) of wood (1-2 logs). Otherwise the stove could get overheated, which can cause irreparable damage. This kind of damage is not covered by warranty. - Page 17 Important: DO NOT use a grate or andirons to elevate the fire – build it directly on the hearth. Once there is a good bed of embers in the stove, you can add wood. It is important not to open the door while there are flames in the stove, as this may cause smoke to flow out into the room.

Page 19: Cleaning Instructions
Cleaning Instruction Your stove (including the chimney and chimney connector) should be thoroughly checked and cleaned at least once during the course of the heating season. The flue gas outlet above the flue gas baffle and the stove connector should be inspected in particular. Please check the stove only when it is cold. Firebox: The ashes should be emptied regularly from the fire chamber. - Page 20 Now you can remove it from fire chamber. Use the same process to remove the second part of the upper flue gas baffle. Now you can clean the plates of the flue gas baffle and insert the parts in reverse order back into the Shaker stove.

Page 21: Spare Parts List
Moving parts: All moving parts (e.g. hinges and closing mechanisms) should be treated with a high temperature grease product (e.g. copper paste) regular intervals (at least once annually). This prolongs the life of the parts, and maintains an ease of movement. Air control system: The air control system handle can be treated periodically as required with a Teflon spray, to maintain a well-lubricated easy operation. -
