OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BYPASS
Most catalytic wood burning appliances have a bypass device to
allow the smoke from the fi re to temporarily bypass, or go around,
the catalytic combustor. Th
e bypass door is located inside the
fi rebox at the top of the stove. Th
e bypass is a steel plate door,
hinged inside the stove, and is controlled by the bypass handle on
the right side of the stove. When the handle is pointing at you, the
bypass is open, when pointing away, it is closed. It is a clockwise
rotation from open to
close.
NEVER OPEN
THE LOADING DOOR
WITHOUT OPENING THE
BYPASS DOOR
Note: To ensure the bypass
is closed push down on the
bypass handle until you
hear a positive click.
YOUR FIRST FIRE!
Th
e following pages contain information on the major components and operation of your heater. Please take
time to read about them as it will give you a better understanding of how your stove works. Th
is understanding
will help you to operate your stove properly thus will extend the life of your stove and allow you to get the
highest effi
ciencies from your heater.
CATALYTIC THERMOMETER
Th
is 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 effi
cient. For an accurate reading, turn
fans off for approximately 10 minutes and then read the thermometer.

THERMOSTAT
Th
e thermostat knob is located on the top right rear corner of the stove. It controls the burn rate of the stove
Any thermostat position between
LOW
(thin line) and
HIGH
(wide line) will produce the desired clean burning
characteristics. However, since each installation is diff erent, you may fi nd it necessary to operate the thermostat
to suit your situation. A
HIGH
(wide line) thermostat setting will produce maximum heat which is more than
suitable for heating the average size home. All adjustments to the thermostat should be done gradually. When
you fi rst light the stove set the thermostat to
HIGH
(wide line) setting for 20-30 minutes, or until the fi re is well
established. Once the fi re is established turn the thermostat to
MED
(middle of line) for 5 minutes and then to
a
LOW
(thin line) setting or the desired
setting. Too rapid an adjustment may
cause the stove to operate improperly.
Th
e most common mistake new owners
make is continually adjusting the
thermostat.
