OPERATE STOVE WITH THE PRIMARY AIR ADMISSION 
FULLY  OPEN  FOR  A  LONG  PERIOD  OF  TIME,  CAN 
DAMAGE THE STOVE BY OVER FIRING.  

 

NEVER LEAVE THE STOVE UNATTENDED WHEN THE 
DOOR IS SIGHTLY OPEN. ALWAYS CLOSE THE DOOR 
AFTER LIGHTNING. 
 

 

USE  THE  STOVE  ALWAYS  LEAVING  THE  DOOR 
CLOSED. 
 

 

NEVER 

USE 

CHEMICAL 

PRODUCTS 

OR 

INFLAMMABLE  LIQUID  TO  START  THE  FIRE  OR 
REVIVE THE FLAME. 
 

 

DO NOT BURN TRASH OR ANY OTHER INFLAMMABLE 
PRODUCT SUCH AS GAZOLINE, NAPHTHA OR MOTOR 
OIL. 
 

 

DO NOT BUILD FIRE NEAR THE DOOR GLASS. 
 

 

KEEP  THE  INFLAMMABLE  PRODUCTS  AWAY  FROM 
THE APPLIANCE. 

 

First fire 

During the first hours of operation, you must heat it gradually. In 
order to allow an appropriate baking of the paint and facilitate its 
adhesion with metal, do not heat the appliance with a strong fire. 
It  will  also  avoid  thermal shock  which  could  lift  up  the paint  or 
fade the color. 
 
Make  sure  that  the  room  is  ventilated  enough  in  order  to 
eliminate  the  odours  and  the  smoke  coming  from  the  paint 
during the first hours of use.  
 
Even if  this  nuisance  is  temporary,  open  the  windows  and the 
doors in order to ensure a good ventilation. This special paint is 
conceived to tolerate temperatures until 1200°F (650°C). 
 

Keep a fire 

To add wood into the stove and keep a fire: 

1)  Pull the control knob forward and wait a few second to let 

the fire adjust to the new conditions. 

2) 

Open  the  door  handle  to  the  first  position  and  wait  for  a 
while until the fire has been adjusted. 

 

3) 

Turn  the  door  handle  completely  and  leave  the  door  half-
open and let the fire set up.

 

4) 

Open the door completely.

 

5)  Move  embers  near  the  door  with  poker  to  supply  it  with 

oxygen and make it burn completely.  

6)  Add  firewood  over  the  ember,  keeping  it  away  from  the 

glass door to avoid flame touching the ceramic glass. 

 

ATTENTION: 

 

DO  NOT  OVER  CHARGE  THE  STOVE  OVER  THE 
UPPER BRICK. 

 

DO NOT BUILD A FIRE NEAR THE WINDOW. 

 

THIS  APPLIANCE  IS  DESIGNED  TO  BURN  DRY 
CORDWOOD.  WE  DON’T  RECOMMEND  ANY  OTHER 
TYPE OF WOOD.  

 

7)  Close the door slightly and let the wood burn. 

8)  Once the fire gets stable, close and lock the door. 

9)  Push the air admission knob to needed setting. 

 

NEVER  LEAVE  THE  STOVE  UNATTENDED  WHEN  THE 
DOOR  IS  SIGHTLY  OPEN.  ALWAYS  CLOSE  THE  DOOR 
AFTER  ADDING  A  LOAD.  Keeping  the  door  open  is  not 
advised.  When  the  appliance  is  heated,  sparks  may  come 
out  of  the  hearth.  A  fire  runaway  may  be  created  causing 
the appliance and flue pipes to overheat. 
 

 

DO  NOT  USE  ANY  INFLAMMABLE  LIQUID  TO  REKINDLE 
THE FIRE. 

 

Fan Control 

When it’s ON, the snap disc will start at the moment when the 
temperature  of  ventilation  box  gets  120  Fahrenheit  (49  ° 
Celsius).  

NEVER  ROUTE  THE  ELECTRIC WIRE OF  FANS IN  FRONT 
OR UNDER APPLIANCE. 

 

Fuel Selection 

This  heater  is  designed  to  burn  only  firewood.  Using  firewood 
dried properly results in higher efficiencies and lower emissions 
of pollutant compared with using softwood or fresh wood.  

 

Moisture Meter Information 

Firewood is ready to use at 10

25% moisture content.  

Fresh  cut  logs  can  have  a  moisture  content  of  80%  or  more, 
depending on species. During the drying process, wood might 
shrink, split,  twist  or  change  shape.  In  general,  wood must be 
dried before 

use. Air drying, i.e. ‘seasoning’ is the most common 

method used for cordwood. 

Season  wood  outdoors  through  the  summer  for  at  least  6 
months before burning it. Properly seasoned wood is darker, has 
cracks at the ends, and sounds hollow when smacked against 
another piece of wood. 

In  most  parts  in  the  North  America,  the  minimum  moisture 
content that can be generally obtained in air drying is about 12 
to 15 percent.
