BUILDING A FIRE
1. Open the door.
2. Open the primary air control located on right side of stove under hearth. To close push all
the way in. To open pull all the way out. Use air setting, located on primary air handle, for
low, low-medium, medium-high, and high.
3. Twist two pieces of non-colored newspaper into a roll and place them on the floor of the
firebox.
4. This model is not designed for the use of grates, andirons or other methods of supporting the
fuel.
5. Lay several pieces of dry kindling on top of the newspaper.
6. Place three or four small pieces of firewood, 2-3" in diameter, on top of the kindling.
7. Light the newspaper in the front, close and latch the door. Don't leave the fire unattended at
this point. The draft system of the heater should start quickly. It may be necessary to
preheat the chimney to get the draft started. To do this, open the door and add newspaper to
the top rear of the wood. Light or let this paper ignite and allow to burn while holding the
door slightly cracked. Once the draft has started, close and lock the door. You are over-
heating the unit if the chimney and or connector glows red.
8. After embers and a coal bed have been established, load the heater with wood.
NOTE: THE FUELING AND ASH REMOVAL DOORS MUST REMAIN CLOSED
DURING OPERATION.
9. Your unit does not have a damper. You must use the primary air lever for your control of
the fire. To open pull the lever out and to close push the lever in.
