STOVE OPERATION
All gas fuel stoves must draw in air, for it is the air’s oxygen that enables the combustion. Air
enters the firebox and the user, by varying the valve governs the burn rate. As air enters the
stove it flows under and over the shaker grate to the fire area. A secondary air supplies
oxygen to burn gases and tar vapours that rise from fresh fuel as it is burned. Secondary
burning makes combustion more complete, and can therefore be said to improve combustion
efficiency.
1.
Burn specified gas only. Any flammable liquids may explode in the stove.
2.
Do not over fire. If any part of stove or stovepipe starts to glow, you are over firing.
3.
Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high surface temperature
and should stay away to avoid burns or clothing ignition.
4.
Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in the same room
as the appliance.
5.
Keep clothing, furniture, fuel wood and other combustibles away from the
appliance. Moderate heat may cause combustibles to ignite.
6.
Inspect and clean stovepipe and chimney frequently. Under certain conditions of use,
creosote or soot may build up rapidly and cause a chimney fire.
