USING THE AIR CONTROLS
The start up air control lever is located under the fi rebox
door. Use the supplied adjustment key to turn the lever (pic-
ture 5.). Lever to the right is a start up position, and should
be used only when starting the fi re. (max. 15 min.) Primary
air control is located above the fi rebox door, if equipped
(picture 6.). Open the primary air control (position right)
and light the kindling.
When the kindling is burning briskly, add wood. Once the
wood is burning briskly, shift the start up air lever to the
left. In this position (picture 7.), wood burns in an environ-
mentally sound manner.
Safety Notice
If the Tulikivi fireplace is not properly installed, a house
fire may result. For your safety, Tulikivi fireplaces can be
installed only by factory-trained, certified installers. Con-
tact your local building or fire officials regarding restric-
tions and installation requirements in your area. Never use
gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal
lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or ”freshen” a fire in
the Tulikivi. Do not burn garbage or flammable fluids such
as naphta or engine oil. Keep these and all other combus-
tibles, along with children, furniture, and firewood, away
the fireplace, and never use it to dry firewood or clothes.
After a one to three hour burn, the surface temperature
of a Tulikivi fireplace generally falls to the 155˚ to 200˚ F
range. While this is hot enough to feel, it would take pro-
longed contact before a burn could occur because stone
is a slow heat conductor; both children and adults have
plenty of time to move away. Metal stoves, in contrast,
conduct heat so rapidly that skin is often burned before
the mind records the event and allows you to react.
