BUILDING A FIRE
1. Open door.
2. Open primary air control located on right side of stove under hearth. (See Page 25, Figure
14). To close, push all the way in. To open, pull all the way out. Adjustments to airflow
may be made by positioning handle anywhere in between.
3. Twist two pieces of non-colored newspaper into a roll and place them on floor of firebox.
4. These models are not designed for use of grates, andirons or other methods of supporting
fuel.
NOTE: “Do not use grate or elevate fire. Build wood fire directly on inner bottom of fire box.”
5. Lay several pieces of dry kindling on top of newspaper.
6. Place three or four small pieces of firewood, 2-3" in diameter, on top of kindling.
7. Light newspaper in front, close and latch door. Don't leave fire unattended at this point.
The draft system of heater should start quickly. It may be necessary to preheat chimney to
get a draft started. To do this, open door and add newspaper to top rear of wood. Light or
let this paper ignite and allow to burn while holding door slightly cracked. Once draft has
started, close and lock door. You are over heating unit if chimney and/or connector glows
red.
8. NOTE: After embers and a coal bed have been established, load heater with dried,
natural seasoned hard wood.
Manufacturer recommendation for peak performance is to burn natural seasoned hard-
wood (wood dried 6-12 months) and place wood from front to back position in heater.
NOTE: THE FUELING AND ASH REMOVAL DOORS MUST REMAIN CLOSED
DURING OPERATION.
NOTE: If blower is being used on the Model 81, your stove is equipped with a automatic
thermostat. When stove gets hot enough, thermostat will activate room air
blower. Set fan speed according to desired heat output.
NOTE: When refueling or removing ashes turn “OFF” room air blower. Be sure to turn
room air blower back on when finished.
NOTE: Do not run power cord underneath heater or in walk way or heavy traffic areas.
Your unit does not have a damper. You must use primary air lever for your control of fire. To
open, pull lever out. To close, push lever in. (See Page 25, Figure 12).
