Note: Cast iron is an artisan crafted material, which is 

made the same way today as nearly 2000 years ago. 

Due to the intrinsic primitive nature of the casting 

process, part to part variation is normal and adds to the 

character of a hand built cast iron appliance

Read this manual before operating this appliance. 

Please retain this Owner’s Manual for future reference.

Read the Installation Manual before making any installation or finishing changes.
