Pull - Open
WARNING: To build a fire in ignorance
or to disregard the information con-
tained in this section can cause serious
permanent damage to the unit and void
your warranty!!
AIR SLIDE CONTROL
Both the primary and air wash drafts are control-
led by the control rod located on the right side
of the unit (when facing the unit). To increase
your draft - pull open, and to decrease - push
closed. All units have a secondary draft system
that continually allows combustion air to the
induction ports at the top of the firebox, just
below the flue baffle.
3 SPEED
FAN OPERATION
A 3 speed fan is fitted to the heater. The fan is con
-
trolled by a thermodisc, and Auto / Manual switch
and a speed selection switch. The Auto / Manual
switch is mounted on the back of the pedestal. The
speed select switch is located on the right hand side
of the pedestal and has selections for fan OFF/
LOW / MED /HI. The OFF position is marked by a
red dot on the pedestal.
Manual control of the fan
Select Manual control and the fan speed will be
directly controlled by the selection of the fan speed
switch.
Automatic Control of the fan
Select Auto control of the fan and the fan will be
controlled by the selection on the fan speed switch
and the temperature of the heater. The thermodisc
in the fan circuit ensures that the heater has achieved
a high temperature before the fan can operate– this
may take 20-30 minutes. When the heater cools
down the fan will automatically turn off–this may
take 20-30 minutes.
Selection OFF on the fan speed switch will always
turn the fan off immediately.

FIRST FIRE
When your installation is completed and inspected
you are ready for your first fire.
1)
Open control fully.
2)
Open firebox door and build a small fire using
paper and dry kindling on the firebox base. Se
-
cure door on the firebox and wait a few minutes
for a good updraft in the flue to establish the
fire. (Leaving the door slightly open will help
your fire start more rapidly.)
CAUTION: Never leave unit unattended if
door is left open. This procedure is for fire
start-up only, as unit may overheat if door
is left open for too long.
3)
With the draft still in the fully open position add
two or three seasoned logs to your fire. Form
a trench in the ash bed to allow air to reach the
rear of the firebox prior to closing the door.
4)
After about 45 minutes, when your wood has
begun to burn strongly, adjust your draft control
down to keep the fire at a moderate level.
WARNING: Never build a roaring fire in a
cold heater. Always warm your heater up
slowly!
5)
Once a bed of coals has been established on
the base of the firebox, you may adjust the draft
control to a low setting to operate the unit at its
most efficient mode.
Push - Closed
For safety reasons and in order to avoid
over firing of your unit do not burn your
fire with the door open or ajar.
