IT IS AGAINST THE LAW TO OPERATE THIS WOOD HEATER.
NR 440.642(7)(h)
(h) For affected facilities equipped with catalytic combustors, the following statement shall appear on the permanent label:
This wood heater contains a catalytic combustor, which needs periodic inspection and replacement for proper operation. Consult owner's manual for further information. It is against the law to operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent with operating instructions in the owner's manual or if the catalytic element is deactivated or removed.
NR 440.642(7)(i)
(i) An affected facility permanently labeled under
par. (b) shall have attached to it a temporary label that shall contain only the following:
NR 440.642(7)(i)1.

40 CFR part 60, Appendix I,
Section 2.2.1, incorporated by reference in
s. NR 440.17. Instructions on the statement to select are provided in
40 CFR part 60 in Appendix I, incorporated by reference in
s. NR 440.17.
NR 440.642(7)(i)2.
2. A graphic presentation of the composite particulate matter emission rate as determined in the certification test. The method for presenting this information is provided in

NR 440.642(7)(i)4.a.
a. If the manufacturer elects to report the overall efficiency of the model based on test results pursuant to
subd. 3., the manufacturer shall report the heat output range measured during the efficiency test. If an accessory device is used in the certification test to achieve any low burn rate criterion specified in this section, and if this accessory device is not sold as a part of the wood heater, the heat output range shall be determined using the formula in
subd. 4. b. based upon the lowest sustainable burn rate achieved without the accessory device.
NR 440.642(7)(i)4.b.
b. If the manufacturer elects to use the estimated efficiency as provided in
subd. 3., the manufacturer shall estimate the heat output of the model as follows:
where:
HOE is the estimated heat output in Btu/hr
HV is the heating value of fuel, 19,140 Btu/kg (8,700 Btu/lb)
BR is the burn rate of dry test fuel, kg/hr (lb/hr)
