Before lighting your first fire in the stove: 
1.  Confirm the baffle is correctly positioned.  It should be 

even with the front tube and resting on all tubes.

2.  Remove all labels from glass.
There are many ways to build a fire.  The basic principle 

is to light easily-ignitable tinder or paper, which ignites the 

fast burning kindling, which in turn ignites the slow-burning 

firewood.  Here is one method that works well:
1.  Open the Burn Rate Air and Start-Up Air Controls fully.
2.  Place several wads of crushed paper on the firebox floor.  

Heating the flue with slightly crumpled newspaper before 

adding kindling keeps smoke to a minimum.

.  Lay small dry sticks of kindling on top of the paper.
4.  Make sure that no matches or other combustibles are in 

the immediate area of the appliance.  Be sure the room 

is adequately ventilated and the flue unobstructed.

5.  Light the paper in the appliance.  NEVER light or rekindle 

fire with kerosene, gasoline, or charcoal lighter fluid; the 

results can be fatal.

6.  Once the kindling is burning quickly, add several full-

length logs  inches (76mm) or 4 inches (102mm) in 

diameter.  Be careful not to smother the fire.  Stack the 

pieces  of  wood  carefully;  near  enough  to  keep  each 

other hot, but far enough away from each other to allow 

adequate air flow between them.

7.  Set  the  Burn  Rate Air  Control  and  activate  the  timer 

system (ACC).

8.  When ready to reload, It is best to fully open both the 

Burn Rate Air and Start-up Air Controls before reload-

ing.  This livens up the coalbed and reduces excessive 

emissions (opacity/smoke).  Open door slowly so that 

ash or smoke does not exit appliance through opening.  

Large logs burn slowly, holding a fire longer.  Small logs 

burn fast and hot, giving quick heat.

9.  As  long  as  there  are  hot  coals,  repeating  steps  6 

through 8 will maintain a continuous fire throughout the 

season.

NOTE:
•  Build fire on brick firebox floor.

•  Do NOT use grates, andirons or other methods to support 

fuel.

It will adversely affect emissions.

Do NOT store wood:

•  Closer than required clearances to com-

bustibles to appliance

•  Within space required for loading or ash 

removal.

Do NOT operate appliance:

•  With appliance door open.

•  With ash removal system door open.

•  Do NOT burn wet or green wood.

•  Store wood in dry location.

•  Stack wood so both ends are exposed to air.

Wet, unseasoned wood can cause accumulation of 

creosote.
