OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 
______________________________________________________ 
 

a)  Only wood should be used as fuel. 
 
b)  Drolet stoves are not designed for a wood cradle, nor do they provide support facilities 

for the wood.  Therefore, never use grate or elevated fire.  They would generate excessive 
temperature. 

 
c)  When using your unit for the first time, to avoid thermic shocks do not heat your stove to 

the maximum.  This causes the painted surface to deteriorate.  Be sure that ventilation in 
the room is adequate.  This will prevent any inconvenience arising from smoke and 
disagreeable odor given off by heated paint. 

 
d)  Before lighting your stove, be sure that the air control is wide open.  If you feel air 

currents coming from the chimney, slightly open a window close by and hold a lighted 
paper in the opening as close as possible to the flue outlet.  This will heat air in the 
chimney. 

 
e)  When the paper and dry wood have been lighted, keep the air control in position "Open" 

until you have obtained a good fire.  From then on, you may add larger logs of wood until 
a bed of embers has built.  It is recommend during pre-heat period to leave the door 
slightly open to ease combustion. 

 
f)  We recommend the use of a magnetic thermometer on your stove pipe.  It should be 

installed 18 inches above the stove top, to indicate the gas temperature.  We also
