After the first high burn load and the stove is well warmed up, adjust the unit as needed for a medium or low burn
setting.
For a medium burn, once the high burn fuel load is burned down to an established coal bed, load the unit with
18 lbs of cordwood and keep the door slightly open for 3 minutes. Leave the air control fully open (in the “HI”
position) for 13 minutes. After 15 minutes push in the air control to the medium position (midway between the
“Low” and “Hi” position).
For a low burn setting once the high burn (or medium) fuel load is burned down to an established coal bed,
load the unit with 19 lbs of cordwood and close the door immediately. Leave the air control fully open (in the
“HI” position) for 13 minutes. After 15 minutes begin to push the air control in to the “Low” postion (air control fully
pushed in). NOTE: Do not close the air too quickly. Closing the air too quickly will cause the unit to smoke.

Pull the air control out fully. Light the newspaper and
leave the door slightly open for 2 minutes. Close
the door and allow the kindling to ignite. Once the
kindling has burned down to a starter coal bed,
load the unit with approximately 17 lbs of fuel for
the first high burn load.
HIGH
ADDING FUEL
1. Once you have obtained a good bed of embers, you should reload the unit. To do so, open the air controls
to maximum a few seconds before opening the stove’s door.
2. Open the door very slowly; open it one or two inches for 5 to 10 seconds, before opening it completely to
increase the draft and thus eliminate the smoke which is stagnant in a state of slow combustion in the stove.
3. Rake the glowing embers to the front of the stove. Add fuel being careful not to overload or overfire the
appliance. When adding fuel be careful not to smother the fire. Do not build fires against glass and make sure
the embers do not obstruct the air inlet. Do not allow logs to roll and strike the glass.
NOTE: For optimal operation of this unit, it is recommend to operate it with a wood load approximately equivalent
to the height of fire bricks. It is important to note that wood combustion consumes ambient oxygen in the room. In
the case of negative pressure, it is a good idea to allow fresh air in the room, either by opening a window slightly
or by installing a fresh air intake system on an outside wall.
4. Close the feed door and secure tightly.
WARNINGS:
•
NEVER OVERFIRE YOUR STOVE. IF ANY PART OF THE STOVE STARTS TO GLOW RED, OVER FIRING IS HAPPENING.
READJUST THE AIR INTAKE CONTROL AT A LOWER SETTING.
•
THE INSTALLATION OF A LOG CRADLE OR GRATES IS NOT RECOMMENDED IN YOUR WOOD STOVE. BUILD FIRE
DIRECTLY ON FIREBRICK.
•
NEVER PUT WOOD ABOVE THE FIREBRICK LINING OF THE FIREBOX.
•
ATTEMPTS TO ACHIEVE HEAT OUTPUT RATES THAT EXCEED HEATER DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS CAN RESULT IN
PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE HEATER.
