New Buck Corporation 85 - Manual (Page 13)

4. Place crumpled pieces of newspaper in the stove. Light it and close the doors. Ensure
that the stove draws properly through the primary draft. NOTE: “Do not use grate or
elevate fire. Build wood fire directly on floor of stove.”
5. Check for smoke leaks around the doors.
6. Open the doors and check for smoke escaping from the front of
the stove. Smoking usually indicates a defective or poorly positioned chimney. Some
chimneys with a marginal draft can be preheated by lighting newspaper and holding
it near the open damper with a poker or fire tong. Once the chimney heats up, a proper
draft can usually be obtained.
If a thorough review of the Troubleshooting Guide in the rear of the manual does not reveal
the problem, contact your dealer for assistance.
CAUTION
THE UNIT IS PAINTED WITH A SPECIALLY FORMULATED
HIGH TEMPERATURE PAINT THAT CURES DURING THE FIRST TWO OR
THREE FIRINGS. YOU MAY NOTICE A SLIGHT SMOKING EFFECT AND AN
ODOR OF BURNING PAINT WHEN YOU BUILD THE FIRST FIRES. THIS IS
NORMAL AND IS NOT A CAUSE FOR ALARM. IN SOME CASES, THESE FUMES
WILL ACTIVATE A SMOKE ALARM. OPENING A WINDOW NEAR THE UNIT
WILL ALLOW THESE FUMES TO ESCAPE. DO NOT BUILD A LARGE, ROARING
FIRE UNTIL THIS CURING IS COMPLETE OR THE HEATER FINISH MAY BE
DAMAGED.
The connector and/or chimney should be inspected at least once a month during the heating
season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred.
CAUTION
NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE,
CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR "FRESHEN
UP" A FIRE IN THE HEATER. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM
THE STOVE WHEN IT IS IN USE. ALL FLUIDS OF THIS TYPE GIVE OFF
VOLATILE FUMES AND CAN AND WILL EXPLODE!! DON'T TAKE A CHANCE
WITH THE SAFETY OF YOUR HOME AND FAMILY.
