Operating Your
Shelburne Wood Stove
Once your Shelburne has been set in place,
connected, and assembled, you are ready to light
a fire. HearthStone Stoves tests each wood
stove before we ship, so you should be able to
easily light your first fire. You may, however,
have to make a few small adjustments to
compensate for altitude and other factors
particular to your installation.

Please read this entire chapter before lighting
your first fire. It explains the controls and
features of your wood stove, how to choose
firewood, and how to break-in your stove and
use it on a daily basis.

Before lighting any fires,
become familiar with
the location and operation of your stove's
controls and features and learn how to use them.
For your own safety, do not modify these
features in any way.
FRONT DOOR HANDLE
: The front door
allows you to load wood into your stove. To
open the door, lift the handle to the 10 o’clock
position and pull the door. To latch the door
lower the handle to the 7 o’clock position. Pull
on the door to make sure it is properly latched.
PRIMARY AIR CONTROL:
This feature is
located on the lower left side of the stove. The
primary air control allows you to regulate the
amount of air entering the firebox. Generally
speaking, the more air allowed into the firebox,
the faster and hotter the rate of burn; conversely,
less air creates a slower burn. Pull the lever
toward the front of the stove to open the primary
air control; push the lever toward the rear of the
stove to close the primary air control.
ASH PAN
: Open the drawer door first. The ash
pan is located under the ash lip. The ash pan
collects burned ash from a fire and allows you
to conveniently remove the ash from your wood
stove. The ash pan is easy to remove. Sift the
ashes across the grate into the ash pan, then
rotate the ash door handle and pull to open.
Remove the ash pan by grabbing the handle and
sliding it out carefully. After you have disposed
of the ashes, push the ash pan all the way into
the stove and close the ash door.
Do not operate the stove unless the ASH
PAN is tightly inserted into the stove and
the ash door is closed. This could
overheat and damage the stove.
Remove ashes when the stove is cold. If the ash
pan is warm, use protective fireplace gloves.
Exercise extreme caution when handling,
storing or disposing of ashes.
