How to Power the stove
The stove has one plug-in, 3 prong 6 Ft. cord. Plug it into a 3-prong
dedicated
outlet.
The stove should be plugged into its own outlet for safety and power surges.
The Fan and Igniter switches are on the left side of the stove on the base. The upper convection fan is plugged into the outlet under
the stove.
The round knob is your first switch on the side of the stove and it is on the far left. This switch controls the upper air that will flow
into the room. It has a variable speed and can be set to your needs.
The second switch is for your combustion blower. This switch will need to be turned to the up position and be on at all times that the
stove is in operation.
The third switch is for your Hot Air Igniter. It is “ON” when the Dial Switch is turned past 5 and then back to 3 Minutes.
The normal
time for ignition is 1 to 3 minutes.
It is very important to not leave this on after you are done lighting the stove. You could damage the igniter.
What you “Can and Cannot Burn” in your stove.
1. The stove
is not
designed to burn cord wood or wood round logs.
DO NOT BURN CORD WOOD!
FOR USE WITH DENSIFIED FUEL LOGS ONLY. ie Presto Logs, North Idaho Energy Logs, Home Fire Prest Logs.
2. The stove
is not
designed to burn any log that has additives in the log to help it burn. These types of logs will void your warranty if
burned in your stove. The materials in these logs will also “clog up” the way the stove breathes to be able to operate efficiently and
it will also plug up the fan blades on the motor that takes the exhaust out of the stove. Most of these logs that
are not
designed to
be burned in your stove will have a wrapper on the log. Some examples of these types of logs are:
DO NOT BURN
A. Duraflame
B. Java Log
C. Pine Mountain
D. Enviro Log
E. Cord Wood
F. Pellets
3. You can use the little fire starters that have wax additives in them to light your fire if needed.
One per starting operation.
Log Fuel for the Stove .
Some logs over time will become “Scaley” or rough feeling. This means the logs have taken on moisture. Do not burn these logs in
the stove. Use them for your kindling and make them into little pieces to start the stove. If you burn wet logs in the stove, it can clog
your motor and your exhaust pipe due to incomplete combustion.
Be careful when selecting your new logs. They should be smooth and glossy felling to the touch, and have a slight dark color on the
outside. Some older logs will start taking shape like a banana, they are not the ones to buy, they are too old to burn well. If you have
logs left over from the previous season, it is best to mix them in with the new logs as you burn the stove, and use them to chop into
kindling for starting the stove.
If a log sticks in the feed tube then you need to take the scraper tool provided and push it down the tube. Normally a couple of taps
with the scraper tool will loosen the log and it will fall down to be burned in the fire.
