FIRST FIRE
When your installation is completed and in-
spected, you are ready for your first
fire.
1)
Open draft control fully.
2)
Open firebox door and build a small fire using
paper and dry kindling, 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 over-heat
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 15 to 20 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 stove. Always warm your stove
up slowly!
5)
Once a bed of coals has been established,
you may adjust the draft control to a low
setting to operate the unit in its most efficient
mode.
6)
During the first couple of hours, keep the
combustion rate at a moderate level and
avoid a large fire until the paint is cured.
Only then can you operate the insert at its
maximum setting, and only after the metal
has been warmed.
7)
For the first few hours, the insert 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 insert at a very high
temperature the first few times may damage
the paint. Burn fires at a moderate level the
first few days.
8)
Do not place anything on the insert top
during the curing process. This may result
in damage to your paint finish.
9)
During the first few hours it may be more
difficult to start the fire. As you dry out
your fire brick and your masonry flue (if
applicable), your draft will increase.
10)
For those units installed at higher elevations
or into sub-standard masonry fireplaces,
drafting problems may occur. Consult an
experienced dealer or mason on methods
of increasing your draft.
11)
Some cracking and popping noises may be
experienced during the heating up process.
These noises will be minimal when your unit
reaches temperature.
12)
Before opening your door to reload, open
draft fully for approximately 10 to 15 seconds
until fire has been re-established. This will
minimize any smoking.
13)
All fuel burning appliances consume oxygen
during operation. It is important that you
supply a source of fresh air to your unit
while burning. A slightly opened window is
sufficient for this purpose.
CAUTION: If the body of your unit starts
to glow you are overfiring. Stop loading
fuel immediately and close the draft
control until the glow has completely
subsided.
14)
Green or wet wood is not recommended for
your unit. If you must add wet or green fuel,
open the draft control fully until all moisture
has been dispersed by the intense fire.
Once all moisture has been removed, the
draft control may be adjusted to maintain
the fire.
15)
If you have been burning your insert on a
low draft, use caution when opening the
door. After opening the damper, open the
door a crack, and allow the fire to adjust
before fully opening the door.
16)
The controls of your unit should not be
altered to increase firing for any reason.
