ARNING
When lit for the first time, the Stowe will
emit some smoke and fumes. This is normal
“off-gassing” of the paints and oils used in
the manufacturing and assembly of the unit.
Open windows to vent the room if
necessary. The off gassing and fumes will
subside after the first 10 to 20 minutes of
operation.

The cast iron and cement used in the
assembly of the Stowe must be heated up
slowly to avoid damaging it. This is
accomplished by adhering to the following
break-in procedure.

ROCEDURE
When lit the first time, the Stowe should be
burned for no more than 15-30 minutes, and
then allowed to cool for 1 hour. This gentle
warming and cooling of the unit will allow
the cast iron and cement to cure properly.
Once this break-in procedure has been
completed, the Stowe can be burned at will
with no time restrictions on the length of
burn.
O
DORS AND
I
MPURITIES
A heater of this type may produce odors
during heater operation due to impurities
that may exist in the immediate area.
Sources of impurities can be cleaning
solvents, paint solvents, cigarettes, candles,
smoke, pet hair, dust, adhesives, new carpet,
and/or textiles. Such odors will dissipate.
However, opening a window or otherwise
providing additional ventilation to the area
can alleviate the condition. If any odor
persists, contact your dealer or an authorized
service technician.
