SECTION VII
OPERATION
This section of the manual is to help you get the 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 seasoned natural
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 the home
being too warm for comfort.
The following steps will serve as a guide for operating your stove.
BUILDING A FIRE
1. Open the door.
2. Open the primary air control under hearth, push in. To close pull all the way out.
3. Twist two pieces of non-colored newspaper into a roll and place them on the floor of the
firebox.
4. This model is not designed for the use of grates, andirons or other methods of supporting the
fuel.
5. Lay several pieces of dry kindling on top of the newspaper.
6. Place three or four small pieces of firewood, 2"-3" in diameter, on top of the kindling.
7. Light the newspaper in the front. Close and latch the door. Don't leave the fire unattended at
this point. The draft system of the heater should start quickly. It may be necessary to
preheat the chimney to get the draft started. To do this, open the door and add newspaper to
the top rear of the wood. Light or let this paper ignite and allow to burn while holding the
door slightly cracked. Once the draft has started, close and lock the 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 the heater with
seasoned natural hard wood, placing it length way front to rear.
NOTE: THE FUELING DOOR MUST REMAIN CLOSED DURING OPERATION.
