Operating Instructions
FIRST START
When first installed, the chimney, firebricks and steel are cold and it usually takes several hours on a
fairly high burn for them to become hot and dry enough for the stove to function well. The paint will
smell a little for the first time or two as it cures. You may wish to open a door or window to eliminate
the smell.
DRAFT CONTROL:
Located on the front of the stove just below the ash sill is the Slider Air Damper. This damper will control
the amount of air to the fire. Pull this control all the way out when first starting the stove. Once the fire
has been established you may adjust this control to set the burn rate of the fire. If this damper is closed
at first start up the fire will burn very slowly and could soot the appliance.
FANS:
All models have been approved for operation with or without the optional fans supplied by the
manufacturer. On medium or high burns, using a fan will increase the heat transfer slightly. Route the
power supply cord along the floor behind the stove where it will remain cool.
DISPOSAL OF ASHES:
If you let the ashes accumulate two or three inches on the floor they tend to burn themselves up. Open
the small trap door located on the floor of the unit. Push the ashes that have accumulated into the hole
were the ashes would drop into the ash pan. Ensure that the trap door is closed properly before relighting
the unit. When necessary put the ashes in a metal container with a tightly fitting lid. Place the closed
container on a non-combustible floor, well away from combustible materials. If the ashes are to be buried
in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, keep them in a closed container until all cinders have cooled. If your
model has an ash pan, be sure to latch the ash pan tightly when finished. Small amounts of cold wood
ash can be used in the garden or compost.
REPLACING THE GLASS:
Never strike or slam the door, hit the glass or let burning wood rest against it. If the glass cracks when
the fire is burning, do not open the door until the fire is out and do not operate the stove again until
the glass has been replaced, preferably by your dealer. To remove the door, open and lift. To replace the
glass, remove the steel retaining clips and all loose glass. Replace only with Neoceram 5 mm glass self-
adhesive fiberglass gasket; The use of substitute materials is prohibited use only part 10-000.
FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND SMOKE DETECTION:
All homes with a solid fuel burning stove should have at least one fire extinguisher in a central location
known to all in the household, and at least one smoke detection devise in the room containing the stove.
If it sounds the alarm, correct the cause but do not deactivate or relocate the smoke detection devise.
CREOSOTE - ITS FORMATION AND REMOVAL:
When wood is burned slowly, it may produce tar and other vapors that combined with moisture form
creosote. These vapors condense in the relatively cooler chimney flue of a slow burning fire, and if
ignited, make an extremely hot fire. So, the smoke pipe and chimney should be inspected bi-weekly
during the heating season to determine if a build-up has occurred. If creosote has accumulated it should
be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
