Be sure to clean the Nickel or Gold Plated door with
Windex brand 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
REKINDLE 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 towards 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.
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.
5. For best results, use smaller pieces of wood to get
stove temperature very high before loading larger
wood for sustained burns. If necessary, crack the
door to allow 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” (19mm) 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.
