9.6 LIGHTING A FIRE
89.1B
Make sure the air control lever is set to high. You may also open the doors 1" (25.4mm) to 2" (50.8mm) during
the fi rst fi ve minutes of start-up, if additional air is needed see "COMBUSTION AIR" section.
Remove all source of gasoline or other fl ammable vapours and liquids in the vicinity of this or other
appliances prior to lighting.
Use plenty of newspaper and kindling to ensure the appliance quickly reaches a proper temperature. Once the
kindling is burning rapidly, place a few larger pieces of wood onto the fi re.
Tip:
When fi rst lighting a fi re, if the smoke is not quickly drawn into the chimney, there may be a downdraft or
cold air in the chimney. By fi rst burning large amounts of crumpled newspaper, the chimney will get heated and
the smoke will quickly vent up the chimney.
ALWAYS OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE WITH THE DOOR CLOSED AND LATCHED EXCEPT DURING
START UP AND RE-FUELING OR WHEN USING THE SPARK SCREEN. ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES TO
PREVENT INJURY. DO NOT LEAVE THE FIRE UNATTENDED WHEN THE DOOR IS UNLATCHED OR
WHEN USING A SPARK SCREEN AS UNSTABLE WOOD COULD FALL OUT OF THE FIRE CHAMBER
CREATING A FIRE HAZARD TO YOUR HOME.
NEVER LEAVE CHILDREN UNATTENDED WHEN THERE IS A FIRE BURNING IN THE APPLIANCE.
NEVER USE GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR
SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR “FRESHEN UP” A FIRE IN THIS APPLIANCE. KEEP ALL SUCH
LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM THE APPLIANCE.
THIS APPLIANCE HAS NOT BEEN TESTED WITH ANY VENTED OR UNVENTED GAS LOG SET. TO
REDUCE RISK OF FIRE OR INJURY, DO NOT INSTALL A VENTED OR UNVENTED GAS LOG SET INTO
THIS APPLIANCE.
BURNING YOUR APPLIANCE WITH THE DOORS OPEN OR AJAR CREATES A FIRE HAZARD THAT
MAY RESULT IN A HOUSE AND OR CHIMNEY FIRE.
