Tertiary:
This control is located at the side of the stove and should be readily identified by the parts
diagram. Air is drawn in through this control and deflected across the top of the fire from
the rear of the stove, this burns up some of the products of combustion and results in a
cleaner burning and more efficient stove. See the diagram below:
Flue Damper:
A flue damper may be put in-line in the flue pipe to assist the regulation of the flue draw,
these will be available from your WARRIOR Stoves dealer. Fit in accordance with
manufacturers fitting instructions. If any smoking does occur whilst the stove is burning
then open the damper more fully. Particular care using the damper must be exercised when
burning overnight or whilst the stove is burning unattended, if too far closed then smoking
may occur through the stove controls.
Experience will be the essence of perfection in controlling the Stove. The control settings
required will depend on the chimney type, location and the fuel being used along with the
heat output desired.
First Firing:
This stove is cast iron and should be seasoned. Seasoning is the process of gradually
warming through the castings of the stove to allow all components to heat up and cool down
together without causing any damage to the stove. Seasoning should be done with the first
five or six firings. The fire size for seasoning should be kept small and allowed to die down
straight after the stove has got to the point of being barely touchable. Particular care must be
taken to ensure the fire does not get to hot whilst seasoning the stove. Whilst seasoning the
stove surfaces may smoke slightly as the high temperature paint begins to cure. During this
period ensure that the vicinity of the stove is kept well ventilated, the odour produced is not
harmful however some individuals may find it nauseous.
Lighting the Fire:
Ensure matches, fire lighters and any other combustible articles are not in proximity of the
stove. Check the Ashpan is in the stove and open all the air vents. Place tightly wrapped
paper and kindling wood in the centre of the fire box. Fire lighters may also be used which
will assist in lighting the fire, follow the manufacturers instructions. Caution: Do NOT use
liquid fuels for lighting the fire or at any time whilst burning, they can be extremely
