8) Adjust the air admission handle to needed setting.
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
Wood storage
The readily cordwood must be store into dry place, away from
bad weather.
It should not be store under the stove or too close of it.
If any wood is stored next to the stove it must respect the
minimum clearances to avoid self-ignition temperature.
10 inches (25.4 cm) behind.
20 inches (50.8 cm) beside.
48 inches (122 cm) in front of it.
8. Maintenance.
Ash Removal.
The wood burning make some residual called ash and must be
remove from the combustion chamber to help oxygen
circulation
The ash have to be removed periodically every 2 or 3 days into
heavy warming period. Never had excessive accumulation into
the combustion chamber because it can reduce performances
of your stove by diminish the air circulation between logs.
The best time to remove ash is after a long warming period like
morning when the stove is relatively cold enough to manipulate
ash and the chimney is yet hot. The hot chimney draft will
vacuum the dust inside the stove.
To clean combustion chamber from ash you must have the
following tool.
•
Ash shovel
•
Ash brush.
•
A metal bucket with airtight lid.
Some embers is mix with ash and still lit a few hours or a few
days. Is very important than the metal lid was airtight. The
bucket must be put on a non-combustible tile or brick.
Ash Disposal.
Some embers is mix with ash and can still lit. If embers have
enough oxygen it can still lit some hours and so some few
days.
It’s mandatory to store ash pending disposal:
•
Into a metal container with an airtight metal lid
correctly closed
•
Outside the house on a non-combustible material.
•
Far enough any combustible material.
•
Far enough any inflammable liquid and vapor.
•
Enough long to be thoroughly cooled.
If the ash are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally
dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until
all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
NEVER PUT TRASH INTO THE ASH CONTAINER
Creosote Formation.
When wood is burning slowly, it produces tar and other organic
vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to form
creosote. The creosote vapor condense in the relatively cool
chimney flue of a slow-burning fire As a result, creosote
residue accumulates on the flue lining, When ignited this
creosote makes an extremely hot fire
The chimney connector and chimney should be inspect at least
once a week during the first month after buying your stove to
determine if a creosote buildup has occurred and to see how
often you have to sweep it. Warmer is your fire, less creosote
buildup as occurred.
Contact your local fire authority to know how to handle a
chimney fire.
Chimney Inspection.
Wood moisture, wood species, the combustion quality, are
some factors that can influence creosote buildup speed into
chimney and chimney connector.
The chimney and the chimney connector must be inspected at
least one every two month during the warming season or more
depending of your installation. You can call a Chimney
sweeper to evaluate the creosote formation or you can do it
yourself by extinguish the wood stove, wait for cool down. Then
unscrew the chimney connector and inspect the chimney
connector and the factory build chimney with a spot light to see
if a creosote buildup as occurred. For a masonry chimney
insert a mirror in the cleanout opening at the bottom at the
bright day. For an outdoor factory build chimney open the cap
at the bottom of chimney.
A 1/8 inches (3 mm) or more creosote buildup, smaller
apparent diameter and if you cannot see the chimney cap. It’s
a sign that is time to sweep your chimney connector and your
chimney to remove creosote.
