3. Open the primary air drafts and damper bypass.
4. Plug the power cord into a 115 VAC outlet.
5. Place crumpled pieces of newspaper in the stove. Light and close the door. Make sure that stove draws
properly through the primary drafts.
6. Check for smoke leaks around the door.
7. Open the door and check for smoke escaping from the front of the stove. Smoking usually indicates a
defective or poorly positioned chimney. Some chimneys with a marginal draft can be preheated by lighting
newspaper and holding it near the open damper with a poker or fire tong. Once the chimney heats up, a proper
draft can usually be obtained.
If a thorough review of the Troubleshooting Guide in the rear of the manual does not reveal your problem, contact
your dealer for assistance.
NOTE: The unit is painted with a specially formulated high temperature paint that cures during the first two or
three firings. You may notice a slight smoking effect and an odor of burning paint when you build the first fires.
This is normal and is not a cause for alarm. In some cases, these fumes will activate a smoke alarm. Opening a
window near the unit will allow these fumes to escape. DO NOT build a large, roaring fire until this curing is
complete or the heater finish may be damaged.
