5. Add large pieces of wood as the fire progresses

being careful not to overload. (Do not fill fire-
box beyond firebrick area.) An ideal coal bed
of 1 –2” should be established t achieve opti-
mum performance.

6. This unit is designed to function most effec-

tively when air is allowed to circulate to all
areas of the firebox. An idea; rake a slight (1˝
to 2˝ wide) trough in the center of the coal bed
from front to back prior to loading the fuel.

7. Once fuel has been loaded, close the door and

fully open air inlet control until fire is well es-
tablished (approximately 10 minutes) being
careful not to overfire.

8. Re-adjust the air inlet control to desired burn

rate. (If excessive smoke fills the firebox, open
air inlet control slightly until flames resume
and wood is sufficiently ignited.) The basic rule
of thumb is “closed - low,” “half way open -
medium” and “fully open - high.”

Add small amounts of fuel each hour or so in-

stead of piling large quantities of fuel at one time.
This will insure a more complete combustion pro-
cess and less buildup of tars, soot, or creosote will
occur in the chimney.
1. When refueling, adjust air inlet control to the

fully open position. When fire brightens, slowly
and carefully open the door. This procedure will
prevent gases from igniting causing smoke and
flame spillage.

2. Add fuel being careful not to overload or over-

fire the stove.

3. When adding fuel be careful not to smother

the fire. Do not build fires against glass on
models with glass door.

3. Close the feed door and secure tightly.
4. Adjust the air inlet control as described above.
5. Empty ashes regularly. Do not allow ashes

to pile up (see Safety Instructions #11 on
page 2.)

6. Properly dispose of hot ashes (see Safety

Instructions, item #11 on page 2.)

7. Do not overfire the stove.

1. Burn with air control open for several minutes

at numerous intervals throughout the day dur-
ing the heating season, being careful not to
over-fire the unit.

2. Burn stove with air inlet control wide open for

several minutes every time you apply fresh
wood. This allows wood to achieve the char-
coal stage faster and burns wood vapors which
might otherwise be deposited within the heat-
ing system.

3. BURN ONLY SEASONED WOOD. Avoid

burning wet or green wood. Seasoned wood
has been dried for at least one year.

4. A small fire is preferable to a large smoldering

one that can deposit creosote within the heat-
ing system.

5. Establish a routine for the handling of fuel,

wood burner and firing technique. Check daily
for creosote build-up until experience shows
how often you need to clean for safe opera-
tion. Be aware that the hotter the fire, the less
creosote is deposited and weekly cleanings may
be necessary in mild weather even though
monthly cleanings may be enough in colder
months.
