OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
4)
After about 45 minutes, when your wood
has begun to burn strongly, adjust your draft
control down to keep the fi re at a moderate
level.
WARNING: Never build a roaring fi re in
a cold stove. Always warm your stove
up slowly!
5)
Once a bed of coals has been established
on the base of the fi rebox, you may adjust
the draft control to a low setting to operate
the unit at its most effi cient mode.
6)
During
the
fi rst few fi res, keep the combus-
tion rate at a moderate level and avoid a
large fi re. Only after 5 or 6 such fi res can
you operate the stove at its maximum
setting, and only after the metal has been
warmed.
7)
For the fi rst few days, the stove will give
off an odour from the paint. This is to be
expected as the high temperature paint
becomes seasoned. Windows and/or doors
should be left open to provide adequate
ventilation while this temporary condition
exists. Burning the stove at a very high
temperature the fi rst few times may damage
the paint. Burn fi res at a moderate level the
fi rst few days.
8)
Do not place anything on the stove top
during the curing process. This may result
in damage to your paint fi nish.
Pull - Open
WARNING: To build a fi re 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 fi rebox, just
below the fl ue baffl e.
OPERATING

FIRST FIRE
When your installation is completed and in-
spected you are ready for your fi rst fi re.
1)
Open control fully.
2)
Open fi rebox door and build a small fi re
using paper and dry kindling on the fi rebox
base. Secure door on the fi rebox and wait a
few minutes for a good updraft in the fl ue to
establish the fi re. (Leaving the door slightly
open will help your fi re start more rapidly.)
CAUTION: Never leave unit unattended
if door is left open. This procedure is for
fi re 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 fi re.
Form a trench in the ash bed to allow air to
reach the rear of the fi rebox prior to closing
the door.
Push - Closed
