GENERAL OPERATION
Once the heater has been burning on high for approximately 20 to 30 minutes it will have reached
operating temperature. You may now slow the burn down by adjusting the air slide into the closed
position.
When adding wood, open the air slide fully, wait a few seconds, then open the door slowly. After re-
loading, leave air slide open, on high for 15 - 20 minutes to allow new fuel to catch freely and
entirely.
Then re-adjust the air slide to desired setting for maximum efficiency. If the fire is too small, re-
fuelling first with kindling is advised.
OVERNIGHT BURN
An overnight burn can be achieved by following these steps an hour before retiring:
1) Open air slide fully
2) Load with large pieces of dry wood
3) When all wood is burning, slowly move the air slide to low position.
NOTE:
This procedure can be done at any time, for example, in the morning so that the fire is still
going later that day.
ASH REMOVAL
Keep the fireplace free from a heavy buildup of ash. The frequency of this is dependent upon
the type and quality of fuel being used. Ash should be removed before it builds up to the
underside of the grate, at which point, the grate would be burning hot on both sides, shortening
its life expectancy.
When disposing of ashes, ensure they have cooled and always place in a metal container. Be
sure to remove the ash when the fire is at its lowest point, such as first thing in the morning.
