A. The unit is equipped with a temperature sensitive fuel
flap. This will stop the fuel flow if the unit gets too hot,
and will also close off the bottom of the hopper from
the fire chamber when the unit is running out of fuel.
Note: The reset handle should always be in the down
position. If the handle remains in the up position it will
not work properly and damage may occur.
Before each fuelling, the control will have to be reset.
Lift up the handle on the right side panel of the unit,
to reset the control. You will hear a click when the
control is reset. Make sure the reset handle returns to
the down position. If the unit is running and needs to
be refuelled, it MUST be refuelled before the hopper
is empty. If you can see the fuel flap closed, you will
have to let the unit completely cool down before
refuelling.
B. The hopper on this unit must be sealed at all times during operation. This is achieved with a gasketed hopper
lid, and the lid is locked down with a compression latch. The latch has a button in the middle of it that when
pressed the latch will open. After refuelling the lid MUST be closed and latched for proper operation.
C. The lower access door has two main purposes. The first purpose is for lighting the stove. The second purpose
is for accessing the ash pan.
D. The primary air control is located on the lower right hand side of the face of the unit. If the control is lifted all
the way up the unit damper is set to the maximum burn rate. If it is pushed all the way down it will reduce the
combustion air to the minimum burn rate.
E. The unit is equipped with a secondary burn basket in the combustion chamber. The basket can and will
need to be agitated as needed. The lever for agitating the basket is located on the lower left hand side of
the front of the unit.

THE FIRST FIRES
Follow the ignition steps in this manual. Make sure that there’s enough air circulation in the area of installation
while curing the appliance. The odors could be present during the first 3 or 4 fires. We suggest opening a window
during the curing process. People and animals with lung problems should take precautions during this time. Never
start your stove outside. You will not be able to see if you are over heating.
The first few fires in your new appliance need to be small so as to cure the fresh paint and preserve it’s quality.
To do so, first follow the lighting instructions in the “Ignition” section of this manual. After ignition, the primary air
control needs to be left on the maximum setting for the first 30 - 40 minutes. After 30 - 40 minutes, close down the
primary air control to a medium or medium low burn rate to maintain a small fire in the unit, doing so will properly
cure the paint. Only fill the hopper with a minimum amount of fuel, approximate 10 lbs initially, then increase the
quantity up to full hopper capacity on subsequent burn cycles.
CAUTION: 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 it is in use. Hot
while in operation. Keep children, clothing and furniture away. Contact may cause skin burns.
