In newer homes that are well-insulated and weather-
tight, poor draft may result from insufficient air in the
house. In such cases, a slightly opened window near
the stove on the windward side of the house will
provide the fresh air needed.
A more effective option for delivering ample
combustion air to the stove is to duct air directly from
outdoors to the stove. In fact, in some areas,
provisions for outside combustion air are required in all
new construction. The optional Seville Outside Air
Adapter is available from your dealer.
When you first begin using the stove, pay attention to
the air control settings. You will quickly find that a
specific setting will give you a fixed amount of heat. It
may take some time to determine the amount of heat
and the length of burn you should expect from various
settings.
Do not for any reason attempt to increase the firing
of your heater by altering the air control
adjustment range outlined in these directions.
Use the following air control settings as a starting point
to help determine the best settings for your installation.

Before you begin using the stove, please read the
Appendix on Draft Management, starting on page 23,
to learn how the characteristics of your particular
installation will affect your stove's performance. You
and the stove are parts of a system; other parts of the
system have a strong effect on performance. You may
need to vary your firing technique to get the results you
desire.
Starting and Maintaining a Fire
Conditioning Your Stove
Cast iron is extremely strong, but it can be broken with
a sharp blow from a hammer or from the thermal shock
of rapid and extreme temperature change.
The cast plates expand and contract with changes in
temperature. When you first begin using your Seville,
minimize thermal stress by allowing the plates to adjust
gradually during three or four initial break-in fires
following Steps 1- 3.
BURN SOLID WOOD FUEL ONLY, AND BURN IT
DIRECTLY ON THE GRATE. DO NOT ELEVATE
THE FUEL. DO NOT BURN COAL OR OTHER
FUELS.
WARNING: OPERATE THIS STOVE ONLY WITH
THE DOOR FULLY CLOSED.
