4) Once you have an ember fire, it’s time to add logs.
Follow now the instruction section on how to keep a
fire
DO NOT OVER CHARGE THE STOVE OVER THE
UPPER BRICK ROW
You can control the combustion by turning up or down the
handle. The wood will burn more rapidly when more primary air
is set. Otherwise the wood burn more slowly and more
efficiently with the handle set to secondary air. You can
balance the primary and secondary air to have more heat.
Warning: Operate stove with the Primary air admission
fully open for a long period of time, can damage the stove
by over firing.
NEVER LEAVE THE STOVE UNATTENDED WHEN THE
DOOR IS SIGHTLY OPEN. ALWAYS CLOSE THE DOOR
AFTER LIGHTNING.
CAUTION: NEVER USE GAZOLINE, GAZOLINE TYPE
LANTERN FUEL, KEROSEN, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID,
OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR “FRESHEN UP “A
FIRE IN THIS HEATER. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL
AWAY FROM THE HEATER WHILE IT IS USE.
NEVER BURN TRASH.
First fire
The first hours of operation, you must heat it gradually. In order
to allow an appropriate cooking of the paint and in order to
facilitate its adhesion with metal, do not heat the appliance with
a strong fire. It will also avoid thermal shock which could lift up
the paint or make it whiten.
Make sure that the room is ventilated enough in order to
eliminate the odours and the smoke coming from the paint
during the first hours of utilization. It is normal that a light
smoke is released from the paint during the first hours of use.
Even if this nuisance is temporary, open the windows and the
doors in order to ensure a good ventilation. This special paint is
conceived to tolerate temperatures until 1200°F (650°C).
Keep a fire
To add wood into the stove and keep a fire.
1) Pull the control knob forward and wait a few second to let
the fire adjusting to the new conditions.
2) Open the door handle to the first position and wait a few
second to balance pressure to avoid fume to escape from
stove
3) Wide open slowly the door.
4) Move embers with poker near to the door to oxygen it and
make it burned completely
5) Add firewood over the ember, keeping it away from the
glass door to avoid flame touching the ceramic glass.
DO NOT BUILD A FIRE TOO CLOSE OF THE WINDOW.
6) Close the door slightly and wait few minutes to be sure the
wood is burning.
7) Once the wood is burning close and lock the door.
8) Push the air admission knob to needed setting.
To keep the emission rate at the best value when you push the
control knob to the lower burn rate, be sure to let the fire burn
enough before closing the door to have the good inside
temperature to ensure the good working of the top tube air
intake.
NEVER LEAVE THE STOVE UNATTENDED WHEN THE
DOOR IS SIGHTLY OPEN. ALWAYS CLOSE THE DOOR
AFTER ADDING A LOAD.
CAUTION: NEVER USE GAZOLINE, GAZOLINE TYPE
LANTERN FUEL, KEROSEN, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID,
OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR “FRESHEN UP “A
FIRE IN THIS HEATER. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL
AWAY FROM THE HEATER WHILE IT IS USE.
Fans Controls
The optional switch on the snap disc box is only to power up
and down the fan
On power up position the fan is control by a snap disc factory
set to 120 Fahrenheit (49 ° Celsius)
On Off Position all the fans shut down.
When the switch is not installed the operation is the same as it
power up.
NEVER ROUTE THE ELECTRIC WIRE OF FANS IN FRONT
OR UNDER APPLIANCE
Fuel Selection
This heater is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher
efficiencies and lower emissions generally result when burning
air dried seasoned hardwoods, as compared to softwoods or to
green or freshly cut hardwoods.
Moisture Meter Information
Firewood is ready at 10
‐
25% moisture content.
Newly
‐
cut logs can have a moisture content of 80% or more,
depending on species. Since wood shrinks, and can also split,
twist or otherwise change shape as it dries, most wood is dried
before being used. Air drying, or ‘seasoning,’ is the most
common method used for cord wood.
Season wood outdoors through the summer for at least 6
months before burning it. Properly seasoned wood is darker,
has cracks in the end grain, and sounds hollow when smacked
against another piece of wood.
In most parts of the United States, the minimum moisture
content that can be generally obtained in air drying is about 12
to 15 percent
DO NOT BURN:
(1) Garbage;
(2) Lawn clippings or yard waste;
(3) Materials containing rubber, including tires;
