CARE AND OPERATION
PAGE 12
FUEL DOOR
CAUTION: When opening the door, do not extend it
beyond its normal travel. Overextending the door to
a further open position can put excessive stress on
hinge area of door and hinge pins and may result in
breakage.
DOOR HANDLE ASSEMBLY
The door handle assembly opens and securely latches
the fuel door closed. To open the door, rotate the coil
handle to the 9:00 position until door releases. To close
and latch, hold the coil handle in the 9:00 position, close
the door, then rotate the handle to the 6:00 position. See
illustration above.
GLASS
The Glass is a super heat resistant ceramic that with-
stands continuous temperatures up to 1390° F. This tem-
perature is well beyond the temperatures in which you
operate your fireplace insert.
This unit is designed to provide a flow of air over the in-
side of the glass, where along with high heat helps keep
it clean. When operating the fireplace insert on low for
extended periods of time, the glass may get dirty. A
short, hot fire (15 - 20 minutes) will help clean off much
of the normal buildup (see Troubleshooting). A commer-
cial glass cleaner designed for fireplace inserts is rec-
ommended for cleaning.

The glass should be cleaned thoroughly with glass
cleaner and a soft cloth BEFORE the fireplace insert
is burned.
DOOR GASKET
The door gasket must be kept in good condition. Do not
leave the stove burning with the door ajar or open. Leav-
ing the door ajar or open while the stove is burning will
cause excessive heat build up in the stove (overfiring)
and could ignite surrounding combustibles as well as
damage the stove (such damage is not covered by the
manufacturers warranty).

USE CONTROL SETTINGS THAT WORK FOR YOU
The fuel, the amount of heat you want, the type of instal-
lation you have and how long you wish the fire to burn
are all variables that will affect the control setting. The
same control settings in a variety of installations will pro-
duce different results.
Familiarize yourself with your fireplace insert by trying
different settings so you can learn how much heat to ex-
pect and how long the fire will burn. It may take a week
or two to learn but your patience will be rewarded by the
warmth and pleasant satisfaction that only a wood fire
can provide.
