The Sweetheart and Oval cookstove are time proven heating 

and cooking appliances. Take your time to acquaint yourself 

with the principles on which your new stove operates as a 

heater and cooking stove. 
Understanding the primary principles of the air intake 

controls, the oven damper, the flame path for the fire and the 

relationship to the chimney will give you a very comprehensive 

understanding of what you are trying to accomplish with the 

stove.
Before starting the stove, lift the key plate handle and rest 

the arm in the top hook of the cabinet bracket. Open both 

the top loading and ash pan doors. The doors open by lifting 

slightly over the hook and pulling towards you. Always use the 

lid lifter to open doors and bell dampers and when adjusting 

the oven damper.
In  the  Oval,  looking  into  the  firebox  through  the  top  you  

see cast iron liners, these liners rest on an oval refractory 

firebrick.
In the Sweetheart,  looking into the firebox through the top 

you will see  firebrick liners  on the  left and right side of the 

firebox. 
 At the bottom of the firebox is the wood grate, looking in through 

the ash pan door, you will see the wood grate pull—slide it 

back and forth and looking down into the firebox you will see 

the slots open and close. 

The stove is burned with the slots open which allows the 

combustion  air  to  enter  underneath  the  fire.  As  ash  and 

coals build up on the grate these slots fill and will require the 

occasional “shaking”. 
It is a good policy to shake the grate or stir the coals with the 

poker before loading a new charge of wood. 
You will notice that with the ash door closed the ash flap 

may be lifted to access the wood grate pull without having 

to open the door.
Burning skid wood or construction materials with nails is not 

recommended as anything in the firebox that will not burn 

has the potential to get caught in the grate. 
The ash pan is directly below the grate.

Good safety practices:
Educate your family members:
•  before burning the stove, have each family member read 

this manual and be aware of safety practices;

•  keep  children,  clothing  and  furniture  away  from  the 

stove;

•  the stove is HOT while in operation – DO NOT TOUCH 

the stove, contact may cause burns;

•  open  the  firedoor,  ash  pan  door,  woodgrate  pull,  bell 

dampers and oven damper with the 1415 lid lifter 

only—these surfaces get hot; (see figure 8)

•  keep  a  fire  extinguisher  nearby  and  have  a  clearly 

understood plan on how to extinguish a fire.
