GENERAL OPERATION
Opening and Closing the Door
WARNING! Wear proper hand protection
when opening or closing the door, when
starting the fire, and when loading wood.
To open the door, lift up on the handle until
the latch will disconnect from its
corresponding lock pin on main body of the
stove. To close, carefully push the door
closed and push down on the handle until the
latch re-connects to the lock pin
The Esprit wood stove is designed with a self
closing door. If left open, the door will
automatically close but will not automatically
re-connect to the lock pin.
Fueling the Stove:
The Esprit Wood Stove is designed for burning
dry, natural, well-seasoned wood only. Wood
should be stored in a covered dry place for at
least
two years before being used for fuel.
Cutting and splitting the wood can speed up the
drying process.
More drying occurs through the end than through
the sides even when the wood is split. It is
recommended that wood be stacked with both
ends exposed.
Green or uncured wood does not work well as
fuel, and can cause increased creosote buildups.
The value of green wood as a source of heat is
limited.
Do not overload or use kindling or mill ends for
primary fuel as this may cause over-firing.
Do not store wood or any other combustible
material within the installation clearances or
within the space required for loading and ash
removal.
Although feeding excessive amounts of fuel into
the stove should be avoided, it is important to
supply it with sufficient fuel to maintain a
moderately hot fire. This aids in reducing the
buildup of creosote in the chimney and aides in
minimizing soot buildup on the door glass.
WARNING! Burning materials other than
naturally dried, well seasoned wood may shorten
the life of your stove and possibly lead to a
dangerous over-firing condition. Do not burn
garbage, particle board, scraps or pressed logs
containing bonding agents because they can
produce conditions which will deteriorate stove
components. The use of anything other than
wood, such as fuels, flammable liquids, grease,
etc. can damage your stove and can lead to a
house fire.
To Start a Fire:
Fully open the secondary air control on the top of
the stove.
Use a small amount of fire starting material such
as an actual fire starter or newspaper, combined
with enough kindling wood to establish a small
brisk burning fire. Add several larger pieces of
wood on top of the burning kindling and allow
enough time for it to fully catch on fire
.
As the stove heats up and creates a sufficient
coal bed, adjust the secondary air control to your
desired position.
CAUTION: Build the fire directly on the hearth
inside the stove; do not build a fire above or in
front of the log retainer.
Refueling:
Open the fuel door and add wood then close and
latch the fuel door.
If the fire or coal bed is almost depleted and a full
load of wood is added, it may be necessary to
adjust the secondary air intake control wide open
to reestablish a lively fire. The use of start up air
should only be used for a short period of time.
