Cape Cod Wood Stove

OPERATION
BUILDING A FIRE
Before lighting your first fire in the stove,
make certain that the kaowool blanket is correctly
positioned (see page 33 for kaowool blanket position),
remove any labels from the glass and ensure that the
protective cover is removed from the griddle.
There are many ways to build a re. The basic
principle is to light easily-ignitable tinder or paper,
which ignites the fast burning kindling, which in
turn ignites the slow-burning rewood. Here is one
method that works well:
1. Place several wads of crushed paper on the
firebox floor. Heating the flue with slightly
crumpled newspaper before adding kindling
keeps smoke to a minimum. DO NOT use a
grate or otherwise elevate the re.
2. Lay small dry sticks of kindling on top of the
paper.
3. Open start-up and primary controls fully.
4. Make sure that no matches or other combustibles
are in the immediate area of the stove. Be sure
the room is adequately ventilated and the ue
unobstructed.
5. Light the paper in several places, starting at the
back of the firebox and working towards the
front. NEVER light or rekindle stove with
kerosene, gasoline, or charcoal lighter uid;
the results can be fatal.
6. Once the kindling is burning quickly, place
three or four small pieces of rewood, 2 - 3
inches in diameter on the re. Close the door.
7. Maintain the fire by adding small pieces of
rewood periodically until a uniform re bed
has been established.
8. After establishing the firebed, and the small
rewood is burning briskly, add a minimum of
three average sized pieces of rewood in such
a manner to allow combustion air and ames
between them.
9. Close the start-up and adjust the primary air
control for your desired heat output. See TABLE
A, on previous page.
CAUTION !
REMOVE ALL LABELS FROM GLASS
FRONT BEFORE LIGHTING THE FIRST FIRE.
WARNING !
NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE
LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL
LIGHTER FLUID, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO
START OR ‘FRESHEN UP’ A FIRE IN THIS
APPLIANCE. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL
AWAY FROM THE APPLIANCE WHILE IT IS
IN USE.
10. To re-fuel, open the primary air control. Wait a few
seconds and then open the door slowly. Depending
on the size of the remaining re, add either kindling
or logs. (If kindling is added to a coal bed, you
may need to open the start-up air control). Leave
the primary air control full open for 10-20 minutes
after re-fueling to re-establish a moderately high
ring rate and bring the stove back up to operating
temperature.
BREAK-IN PERIOD
Build your rst few res small to allow the high
temperature paint on your stove to cure. Excessive
temperatures during this break-in period may
damage the paint.
Open windows and/or doors in the vicinity to
allow adequate ventilation to dissipate smoke and odor
that may come from the paint during curing.
WARNING !
DO NOT OVER FIRE! IF ANY PART OF THE
STOVE OR FLUE SYSTEM IS GLOWING, THE
STOVE IS OVERFIRED. OVERFIRING VOIDS
YOUR WARRANTY.
