OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BYPASS
Most catalytic wood burning appliances have a bypass device to allow the smoke from the fire to temporarily
bypass, or go around, the catalytic combustor. The bypass door is located inside the firebox at the top of the
appliance. The bypass is a steel plate door, and is controlled by the bypass rod and latch above the door in
the middle of the appliance. Use the bypass handle on the
side of the latch
(
Fig. 1
) to pull the rod out, then
the bypass is open, use the bypass handle on the
center of the latch
to push the rod in, then the bypass is
closed. (
Fig. 2
) The bypass handle is hung from the left or right-hand notch of the cover that is under the ash
lip.
NEVER OPEN THE LOADING DOOR WITHOUT FIRST OPENING THE BYPASS DOOR

DO NOT TOUCH THE BYPASS LATCH DIRECTLY, ALWAYS USE THE BYPASS HANDLE. DURING
OPERATION THE BYPASS LATCH GETS VERY HOT AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS.
CATALYTIC THERMOMETER
This thermometer is located on the top of the stove. It’s purpose is to show you if the
combustor is active. Always operate the stove in the “active” zone. When the combustor is
not active the stove will emit smoke and will not be efficient. For an accurate reading, turn
fans off for approximately 10 minutes and then read the thermometer. For calibration refer
“CATALYTIC THERMOMETER” under “MAINTENANCE”.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Your Blaze King fan kit (OPTIONAL) is equipped with a three-prong (grounded) plug to decrease shock
hazard.
THIS PLUG SHOULD BE INSERTED DIRECTLY INTO A PROPERLY-GROUNDED, THREE-HOLE
RECEPTACLE. DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PRONG FROM THIS PLUG.
Do not route
the power cord in front or under the stove.
