Notice: The surface of your new furnace and the connector pipe may
smoke for a short time, and this is no cause for alarm. This is called
“cooking out,” and it is advisable to open doors and windows in your
dwelling during the first two hours (approximately) of operation.
1. Place several pieces of crushed paper evenly over the entire bottom of
the firebox and lay small dry sticks of kindling on top of the paper.
2. Open the draft on the bottom door by unscrewing it (counterclockwise);
move the top draft all the way to the left.
3. Check to be sure there are no combustible materials in the immediate
area of the stove. Be sure the room is adequately ventilated and the
flue is unobstructed.
4. Ignite the paper and close the door until there is a ½” (one-half inch)
opening.
Leave the ash door at the bottom of the stove completely
closed
. Allow the paper and kindling to burn freely for 10 to 15
minutes.
5. Once the kindling is burning freely, slowly open the door and add
several pieces of dry split wood to the fire. Continue to leave the ½”
(one-half inch) crack in the door and allow the stove to burn another 15
to 20 minutes.
6. Once the split wood has burned to a charcoal base, then you can fill
the firebox with seasoned wood. Allow the unit to burn for another 15
to 20 minutes with the ½” (one-half inch) crack in the door.
7. Close the door completely and tighten the bottom draft to the closed
position (clockwise). Move the top slide draft damper all the way to the
right (closed), then select your heat level by moving it back to the left.
Note: The proper setting will be determined by the draw of your
individual flue system.
