8’ (2438 mm) of it, before starting a fire. Do not store fuel or other combustible material within marked
installation clearances.
2.
Before starting , be sure you have removed the rain cap from the chimney.

Be sure the water level is at required level. circulating pumps are
ON
, electronic control system is plugged in
and selector “SYSTEM” is
ON
.

Turn “
OFF
” combustion chamber fan at switch on the side (upper right side toogle switch on structure.) of
the Northern Stoker.
5.
Place some dry paper, birch bark, dry leaves, shavings or cardboard on the grate within the combustion
chamber. On top of this, put some fine split wood, such as pine or cedar kindling.
6.
Then place a few pieces of wood on top of your kindling. Now you are ready to strike a match and start a fire.

instructions on page 8 for Refueling the Northern Stoker. Wait a minimum of one minute or until smoke clears
from the chimney. Open the door slowly, keeping the door between you and the fire opening. You can see the
