NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.

Experiment with different loading configurations to achieve

longer burns. Try loading the wood from side to side and

nesting it in the ashes to prevent airflow under and around

the wood. Fresh wood should be loaded to the back of the

firebox or to the sides. Hot coals or half burned wood should

be brought toward the front of the firebox. The way you load

your wood can seriously affect burn times. If the new load

does not ignite within a few minutes, try crisscrossing the

load to allow more airflow around the fire, or try a slightly

hotter stove temperature.

Determining the lowest setting for efficient low burns. This

will require some experimentation on your part. Try closing

the air control all the way with the stove temperature at 325

to 350 degrees. If the flames are completely extinguished,

open the air control halfway and then slowly close it until

there is only a small amount of flame. It is important to check

the stove about 20 minutes after setting the draft control

as it takes this long for the stove temperature to stabilize.

There should still be some small flames on or above the

wood load.

Use 325 degrees as a starting point. You can try starting

temperatures 25 degrees higher or lower to achieve desired

burn times, start 25 degrees lower if the stove burns the

wood too quickly or 25 degrees higher if there are no flames

in the firebox for more than a few minutes after loading the

wood. You may or may not need to burn the stove with the

air control open for a few minutes prior to setting the draft

for a low burn, this will depend on the factors mentioned

above. Be sure not to smolder a fire overnight. Check your

chimney for large amounts of smoke as this indicates very

poor combustion.

It is important to realize that stove technology has changed.

Stoves have changed a great deal in the last few years. This

has led to substantial changes in the methods of operation in

new stoves as compared to older stoves. In old stoves without

full brick linings and ceramic insulation, the rule was “get

the stove as hot as possible before setting the draft on low

for overnight burns.” On newer, high technology Country™

Collection stoves, this is not necessary. Although it is still

important to have the stove hot enough to burn efficiently,

it will require less preheating. Once you have determined

your optimum operating temperatures for various burn rates,

we believe you will find your stove an extremely convenient

way to achieve your heating needs.

DOOR HINGES: If door hinges need lubricating, use an

anti-seize compound (never use oil) available from your

Lennox Hearth Products dealer.

DOOR LATCH: If your door latch fails to latch tightly and the

gasket is in good condition, place a length of pipe (cheater

bar) over the inside portion of the door handle and bend

slightly toward the door until the proper

adjustment is obtained. If the door handle does not close

easily, apply high temperature anti-seize to the striker.

DOOR GASKET: Periodically check gasket to make sure

it is not over-compressed. If compressed, replace with a

special woven door rope. (Don’t try substituting rope, only

use special Lennox Hearth Products door rope).

GOLD OR NICKEL PLATED DOOR: Clean only with WINDEX

brand glass cleaner and a very soft cotton cloth Other

products may damage brass, paint, and gaskets.

INSULATING BLANKETS: Your insulating blanket should be

inspected during every chimney cleaning. If the blanket is

compressed or heavily stained, it should be replaced. Heavy

creosote stains or matting is an indication of improper use

and your burning habits should be reviewed.

Do not reload the stove for long burns when the stainless

secondary tubes or baffle supports are glowing red, or when

the stove is uncomfortably hot to load. This indicates the

stove is too hot to load for a long burn. Also, do not load

wood for a long burn on a deep bed of hot coals. Try stirring

the coals a few minutes before loading the stove for a low

burn to allow some of the unburned coals time to burn.

GLASS CLEANING: Only clean glass with products specifi-

cally made to use on wood stoves. Other products could

damage gaskets and paint. Never scrape glass with a razor

blade. This can pit the glass and make it impossible to clean

in the future.

WINDOW GASKET: The window gasket can be checked by

running the flame of the match near the gasket and around

the door. If the flame is drawn in around the window, the

gasket should be replaced.

DOOR HANDLE: Door handle may become tight as you

use the stove. Free the handle up by using dry graphite

supplied with the stove. The directions are included with

the graphite.
