Installation and Operation Manual - FW3200

ENGLISH

North-south loads allow more wood to be loaded at the same time. On the other hand, they 
break into smaller pieces faster. North-south loading is good for high output, long lasting fires 
for cold weather.

East-west loads allow a limited amount of wood since too many logs could cause them to fall 
on the glass. East-west loads, placed in a compact way, take a long time before breaking down. 
They are excellent for low-intensity, long-lasting fires in relatively mild weather. 

5.7.6  Carbon Monoxide 

When unburned logs remain in the firebox and the flame disappears, go outside and look at the 
chimney exit. If there is visible smoke, it means that there is still combustible to burn but that 
the fire lacks air to burn properly. In this situation, the CO rate will increase so it is important to 
react. Open the door slightly and move the log with a poker. Turn it over and create a passage 
for the air below, making a trench with the coal bed. Add small pieces of wood to restart the 
combustion.

6.  Maintenance

This heater will give many years of reliable service if used and maintained properly. Internal 
components of the firebox such as firebricks or refractory panels, baffle and air tubes will wear 
over time. Defective parts should always be replaced with original parts.

To avoid premature deterioration, follow the lighting and reloading procedures in section 

"5. 

Burning Wood Efficiently"

 and also avoid letting the heater run with the air intake fully open for 

entire burn cycles. 

6.1  Cleaning and Painting

Painted and plated surfaces can be wiped down with a soft, damp cloth. If the paint is scratched 
or damaged, it is possible to repaint the heater with a heat-resistant paint. 

Do not clean or 

paint the appliance when it is hot.

 Before painting, the surface should be sanded lightly with 

sandpaper and then wiped off to remove dust. Apply two thin layers of paint. 

6.2  Refractory Materials and Baffle

Inspect the firebricks or the refractory panels and the baffle for damage periodically and replace 
anything that is broken. 

Operation of the heater with a cracked or missing baffle may cause unsafe temperatures 
and hazardous conditions and will void the warranty.   

6.3  Glass Door

6.3.1  Cleaning

Under normal conditions, the door glass should stay relatively clear. If the firewood is dry 
enough and the operating instructions in this manual are followed, a whitish, dusty deposit will 
form on the inner surface of the glass after a week or so of use. This is normal and can be easily 
removed when the heater is cold by wiping with a damp cloth or paper towel and then drying.
