I. Starting a Fire
Check the
À
ue damper to be certain it is in the full open po-
sition. Place crumpled or twisted paper under the
¿
replace
grate. Loosely arrange kindling or small pieces of wood to
form a layer above the paper.
The
¿
res must be built on the
¿
replace grate, without danger
of the burning fuel falling out of the
¿
replace opening.
Light the paper and add small pieces of wood until a hot bed
of embers has been established.
After establishing the
¿
re bed, and the small
¿
rewood is burn-
ing briskly, add a minimum of three average sized pieces of
split
¿
rewood, place the wood in such a manner to allow
combustion air and
À
ames between them.
Note:
The
¿
rst three or four
¿
res should be of moderate
size to allow the oils and binders to be burned from the
¿
replace and the refractory and paint to cure. You may
notice an industrial odor the
¿
rst few
¿
res. This is considered
normal.
Note:
When
¿
rst lighting your
¿
replace, it may be necessary
to pre-warm the
À
ue to establish a draft. This is done by
holding a rolled up piece of burning newspaper under the
À
ue damper for a few moments. This will help reduce smoke
spillage during start-up.

operation.
• Curing of high temperature paint.
• Open windows for air circulation.

CAUTION
Fire Risk
Keep combustible materials, gasoline and
other
À
ammable vapors and liquids clear of

¿
replace.
• Do NOT use gasoline, lantern fuel,
kerosene, charcoal lighter
À
uid or similar
liquids to start or “freshen up” a
¿
re in this
¿
replace.
• Keep all such liquids well away from the
¿
replace while it is in use.
Combustible materials may ignite.
