Break-In Fire
SMOKE/SMELL EMITTED DURING INITIAL USAGE
Some parts of the stove have been coated with a light
covering of protective oil. During initial operation of the
stove, this may cause smoke/smell to be emitted and is
normal and not a fault with the appliance, it is therefore
advisable to open doors and or windows to allow for
ventilation.
Lift the insulating lids to prevent staining the linings.
The rebox of your stove is made of superior materials-
cast iron and rebrick lining. Both materials can be
broken by a sharp blow or thermal shock. A little extra
care should be taken during the rst six break in res.
During this period, it is important to let the cast iron and
rebrick slowly dry out and avoid thermal shock caused
by strong, hot res.
Flue Chamber Damper
The adjustable ue chamber damper is for chimney draft.
The more it is closed, the easier it is to control the heat.
The line markings on the ue chamber enable you to
repeat the best settings to suit your chimney, from No. 1
in a closed position to No. 6 fully open.
Open the damper fully before refueling. Reset the damper
to the position that has been found by experience to give
the best results with your chimney.
Do not try to obtain a fast increase in temperature by
opening the ue chamber damper to it's fullest extent.
This results in most of the heat being wasted up the
chimney.
The ue chamber box has a removeable door on the front
for cleaning access to the ueway. The stove is not to be
operated with this door removed. This could result in a
dangerous backdraft condition.
