This heater is for burning coal only.  use of any other 

fuel except for coal ignition is a violation of Federal law.

When  and  if  the  insert  reaches 

500 degrees Fahrenheit 

(maximum temperature),

 the insert is being overfired.  We 

recommend the purchase of a Magnetic Temperature Gauge 

to monitor the Insert temperatures relative to the amount of 

draft at which the customer permits the stove to operate.
It has been verified that creosote will ignite at 650 degrees 

Fahrenheit.  It is the owner's responsibility to follow these 

recommendations.
This insert consumes air when it is burning.  It is advisable 

that a window in the vicinity be opened slightly while stove 

is  burning  if  your  house  is  tightly  sealed  and  insulated.

During the first few hours of burning, a blue smoke will be 

observed rising from the painted  surface of the stove.  It is 

advisable to increase the amount of fresh air in the room during 

this breaking-in period.  This may be achieved by opening 

doors, windows, etc.  Don't be alarmed, this is normal.
