CARE AND OPERATION
PAGE 16
HOW TO START AND MAINTAIN A FIRE
1. Using the Air Control Tool (provided), open the
Start-Up Air Control (see Start-Up Air Control, on
page 15).
2. Adjust the primary air draft control to the full open
position (see Primary Air Draft Control on page 15).
3. Open the side fuel loading door and build your fire
directly on the grate in the firebox.
a. Place five or six loosely crumpled sheets of
newspaper in the stove.
b. Add a small amount of dry kindling randomly on
the top of the newspaper.
c. Place a few more loosely crumpled newspapers
on top of the kindling and light the bottom paper
first, then light the top paper. Once the fire is
well underway, close the door. The upper fire
should preheat the chimney and create an effec-
tive draft while the lower fire ignites the kindling.
4. After the kindling is burning well, add increasingly
larger pieces of wood until the fire is actively burn-
ing (see notes below). Leave the fuel door open
(slightly ajar for 5 minutes). Then close the stove
door. Never leave the stove unattended when the
door is open.
When loading fuel, be careful not to smother
the fire.
Load logs evenly across the base being cau-
tious not to place wood in front of the rear edge
of the log guard.
5. Once a bed of coals has been established, adjust
the primary air control to a lower setting AND
CLOSE THE START-UP AIR CONTROL.
AIR DELIVERY SYSTEMS
Tip – Using the air control tool, adjust the primary air
draft control to a medium to low setting for a slow and
more efficient burn. On higher settings, it is more effi-
cient to burn with a bright but not roaring fire.
When Refueling
1. Follow the normal procedure for refuelling descri-
bed on page 18. However, instead of cracking the
door open ½
″, open the start-up air control by pul-
ling the lever outwards. This will supply enough
primary combustion air to allow the fire to recover.
DO NOT LEAVE THE START-UP AIR CONTROL
OPEN FOR MORE THAN FIVE MINUTES. CLOSE BY
PUSHING THE LEVER INWARDS.
