4. Light the paper and allow sufficient time for the kindling
to become fully engulfed in flames. Close the door. Your
door may or may not need to be left slightly open during
this process, depending on your stove model and chimney
draft. Once the kindling is burning well, larger pieces of
wood may be added, then the door should be closed.
Do not operate the stove with the doors open or ajar,
as this will produce extreme temperatures within the
stove. Damage caused from over-firing is not covered
under the manufacturers limited warranty.
5. For best results, use smaller pieces of wood to get the
stove temperature very high before loading larger wood
for sustained burns. If necessary, crack the door to al-
low ignition of the fuel charge. Now you can add larger
pieces of wood and after several minutes of high burn,
set the left control for the desired heat output. Check the
exhaust in about 15 to 20 minutes. Large amounts of
smoke indicate an improper burn setting (either too high
or too low). Adjust and recheck in 5 to 10 minutes.
6. After your stove has been thoroughly preheated, your
blower can be switched on. When refueling your stove,
turn the blower off for the first 30 minutes. On low and
medium low burns run the blower on low. These burn
rates would be achieved by operating the stove with the
draft rod fully pushed in to up to 3/4” open (out). To do
this, turn on the blower at the speed control and rotate
the control all the way to the right. On medium high and
high burns you may run the blower on high. These burn
rates would be achieved by opening the draft rod further
than stated previously. To do this, turn on the blower with
the speed control and do not rotate the switch after it
clicks on.
Starting and Maintaining a Fire
Be sure to clean the Nickel or Gold Plated door with a household
type glass cleaner and a very soft cloth to remove any fingerprints
and residues prior to the first fire.
1. NEVER USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS TO START OR RE-
KINDLE A SOLID FUEL FIRE!!
2. Fully open the primary draft control by pulling the 1”
plastic knob out on the left side (lower front corner) until
it stops (away from the stove). This control determines
the amount of air entering the stove. Pushing it toward
the stove reduces the burn rate in the firebox. For your
convenience, the rod on this control is marked with
four grooves to assist you in obtaining repeatable burn
rates.
3. Place a small amount of crumpled paper in front of the
firebox and cover it with a few pieces of kindling.
