SECTION VII OPERATION
This section of the manual is to help you get maximum efficiency and maximum smoke
(particulate) reduction from your heater. If you should experience any difficulty or have any
questions concerning your heater, contact your dealer for assistance. NOTE: The
manufacturer recommends that for maximum performance burn natural seasoned
hard wood.
Build a fire for maximum efficiency. This model burns wood and extracts heat so efficiently,
a large fire is not necessary. A large fire not only wastes energy, it usually results in home
being too warm for comfort.
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 Controls: The primary air intake draft control is
located at right bottom side of hearth. It is operated by moving handle out to open (to
allow air into firebox) or in (to control or close off) air into firebox.
3. 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.”
4. This model is not designed for use of grates, andirons or other methods of supporting fuel.
5. Lay several pieces of dry kindling on top of newspaper.
6. Place three or four small pieces of firewood, 2"-3" in diameter, on top of kindling.
7. 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.
8. NOTE: After embers and a coal bed have been established, load heater with seasoned
natural hard wood, placing it length way front to rear.
NOTE: THE FUELING DOOR MUST REMAIN CLOSED DURING OPERATION.
