2. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
REDUCED BURNING
Once a fire has established, close down the air control, and ensure that the door
is firmly closed. Experimentation with the setting of air controls may be required,
depending upon the flue draft and fuel type. A build-up of soot on the inside face
of the glass window is more likely when operating the cook stove in this way.
FLUE DRAFT
An appropriate flue draft is essential for the stove to work safely and efficiently.
During installation, your installer should have taken a flue draft reading, to
ensure that it within the recommended range of 12 – 25 Pascals. If your cook
stove is burning wood logs quickly, or adjusting the Air Controller is having little
effect on controlling the fire, consult with your installer to confirm the flue draft
remains appropriate.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
This wood heater needs periodic inspection and repair for proper
operation. Consult the owner’s manual for further information. It is
against federal regulations to operate this wood heater in a manner
inconsistent with the operating instructions in the owner’s manual.
