CAUTION:  Hot while in operation.  Keep children, clothing and furniture away.  Contact may cause skin 
burns.

WARNING: Always keep loading door closed when burning. This heater is not designed for open door 
burning.

WARNING:  No alteration or modification of the combustion air control assembly is permitted.  Any 
tampering will void warranty and could be very  hazardous.

WARNING:  Do not use grates or andirons to elevate the fuel.  Burn directly on the fire bricks.  Replace 
broken or missing bricks.  Failure to do so may  create a hazardous condition.

WARNING:  Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, 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 
in use.

Lighting a Fire

** Remove the retaining clip on the front of the Baffle Tubes and Board before lighting for the first time.

1.  Move air control lever to the left-most position  (maximum firing rate) and open door.  

2.  Place crumpled newspaper in the centre of the heater and criss-cross with several pieces of dry kindling.  

Add a few small pieces of dry wood on top. 

3.  Ignite the paper and leave the door ajar approximately 1/2"(13mm) - 1"(25mm) until the wood kindling is 

fully engulfed in flame.  DO NOT LEAVE UNATTENDED. 

4.  After the kindling is fully engulfed add a few small logs. Close door. 

5.  Begin normal operation after a good coal base exists and wood has charred.

Normal Operation

1.  Set air control to a desired setting. If smoke pours down across the glass (waterfall effect) this indicates 

you have shut the control down too soon or you are using too low a setting. The wide range control panel 
makes finding the desired setting for your application easy. As every home's heating needs vary (i.e. 
Insulation, windows, climate, etc.) the proper setting can only be found by trial and error and should be 
noted for future burns. 

2.  To refuel, adjust air control to high, and give the fire time to brighten. Open the door slowly, this will pre-

vent back puffing. 

3.  Use wood of different shape, diameter and length (up to 18" (457mm)). Load your wood and try to place 

the logs so that the air can flow between them. Always use dry wood. 

4.  Do not load fuel to a height or in such a manner that would be hazardous when opening the door. 

5.  For extended or overnight burns, unsplit logs are preferred. Remember to char the wood completely on 

maximum setting before adjusting air control for overnight burn.
