OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS cont.
FAN OPERATION
Th
e fan(if fi tted) should be off until the stove reaches normal operating temperatures. Aft er approximately 30
minutes, the fan speed adjustment should match the thermostat control setting, i.e. if your stove is set at medium
then your fan should also be set at medium, low—low, high—high etc.. We recommend the use of an optional
fan system on all our wood stoves. Th
e fan system recirculates the room air over the hot surfaces of your stove
and helps spread this super heated air around your home.
ICE - FORMATION AND PREVENTION
Most of what you see coming from the chimney of a properly operating catalytic stove is water vapor. In
extremely cold weather - and with some exterior chimneys - this vapor may freeze in the chimney, to the point of
actually blocking the chimney and extinguishing the fi re. In such weather, occasionally burn the stove for 4 or 5
minutes with the thermostat setting on
HIGH
to melt any possible ice buildup.
OPTIMAL THERMOSTAT SETTING
Any thermostat position between
LOW
and
HIGH
will produce the desired clean burning characteristics.
However, since each application can vary, you may fi nd it necessary to operate the thermostat to suit your
application. A thermostat setting on
HIGH
will produce a maximum heat which is more than suitable for
heating the average size home and off er the cleanest door glass.
1. Starting the fi re. Each stove, home, installation, chimney installation, and homeowner combination
works a little diff erently. Th
e fi rst several times you fuel the stove, it may not react as you expect. A little
experimentation may be needed to fi nd the right combination of fuel and thermostat setting to achieve
the maximum effi
ciency. Th
is is one of the joys of burning wood. You, the wood burner, make it work.
And you can see what happens as it is working. Be patient, the air / fuel mixture and temperature must
be stabilized before maximum combustion effi
ciency can be achieved.
2. As the combustor temperature (as indicated by the thermometer on top of the stove) passes into the
active zone, further adjustment to achieve the desired room temperature should be made in small
increments for the most eff ective cleaner burning operation. Changes should be made as few times each
day as possible. When the thermostat knob is moved from high to low, more gases are produced, so
the combustor has more fuel; consequently the combustor thermometer may register a higher heat for
several hours aft er the thermostat is turned down.
3. Keep hot coals active so when you reload the stove you will reduce the time necessary to maintain an
active combustor.
4. Th
e thermostat is set at the factory.
DO NOT TAMPER WITH THE THERMOSTAT
, this will result in
a malfunctioning thermostat.
