adequate air circulation shall be provided by one of the
following methods.
1.
Adequate air circulation may be provided by
leaving all edges of the wall protector open with
at least a 1” (25mm) air gap.
2.
If the wall protector is mounted on a single flat
wall away from the corners, adequate air circula-
tion may be provided by leaving bottom and top
edges or only the side and top edges open with
at least a 1” (25mm) air gap.
3.
Wall protectors that cover two walls in a corner
shall be open at the bottom and top edges with at
least a 1” (25mm) air gap.
4.
All clearances shall be measured from the outer
surface of the combustible material to the nearest
point on the surface of the 104 MK II disregarding
any intervening protection applied to the
combustible material.
When using a manufactured wall shield system observe
local building codes and by laws.
FLOOR PROTECTION
When installing this heater on a combustible floor, a floor
protector, consisting of a layer of non-combustible mater-
ial at least
3/8
” (10mm) thick or
1/4
” (6mm) thick covered
with
1/8
” (3mm) sheet metal is required to cover the area
under the heater and to extend to at least 18” (460mm) at
the front and 8” (200mm) to the sides, and rear. This will
provide protection from sparks and embers which may fall
out from the door when stoking or fuelling.
104 MK II - OPERATION
IMPORTANT
THE FIRST FEW FIRES SHOULD BE RELATIVELY
SMALL TO PERMIT THE REFRACTORY TO CURE
WELL, AND TO “SEASON” THE STOVE.
CAUTION
NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN
FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR
SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR “FRESHEN UP” A
FIRE IN THIS HEATER. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS
WELL AWAY FROM THE HEATER WHILE IT IS IN USE.
DO NOT USE GRATE OR ELEVATE FIRE. BUILD
WOOD FIRE DIRECTLY ON HEARTH.
OPERATE STOVE ONLY WITH FUELLING DOOR
CLOSED. BURN WOOD ONLY.
LIGHTING
1.
Lay a few crumpled sheets of paper on the hearth,
then a few small sticks or kindling to get the fire started.
Open the fire door and light paper. Close the door and
open the draught control ALL THE WAY. The fire will
catch the kindling quickly, after which a full size log may
be placed on top. After the log has caught fire adjust the
draught control to suit the heat requirements.
2.
The logs will burn slowly towards the rear of the fire
chamber and the rate of burning is adjustable at all times
by means of the draught control. The more draught (wider
opening) the faster the burning. Do not overfire the stove.
If the stove or chimney connector glows, you are overfir-
ing the stove.
3.
Once they are well lighted, the logs need little

PRIMARY AIR SETTINGS
To increase the burn rate and heat output rotate the spin
wheel, part number 1 in the exploded view, in an anti-
clockwise direction. There are four cast marks in the fire-
door, part number 3 in the exploded view. One for
Minimum Burn, one for Medium Burn, one for High Burn
and one for Maximum Burn. Align the mark in the spin
wheel with whatever mark in the firedoor to give the
required burn rate (see illustration above).
