heater is designed for many years of trouble free operation. Over firing the appliance will shorten the life of
the product. Failure to rectify an over firing condition can be hazardous and may void the manufacturer's warranty.
Wood Selection
This heater is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher efficiency and lower emissions generally result when burning air-dried sea-
soned hardwoods, as compared to softwoods or to green or freshly cut hardwoods.
Wood should be properly air dried (seasoned) for six months or more. Wet or undried wood will cause the fire to smoulder and pro-
duce large amounts of smoke and creosote. Wet wood also produces very little heat and tends to go out often. Wood should be
stored under cover away from open flame or heat sources.

Burning these materials may result in the release of toxic fumes or render the heater ineffective and cause smoke.
The prohibition against burning these materials does not prohibit the use of fire starters made from paper, cardboard, saw dust, wax
and similar substances for the purpose of starting a fire in an affected wood heater.
Do not burn anything but wood. Other fuels, eg. charcoal, can produce large amounts of carbon monoxide, a tasteless, odorless gas
that can kill. Under no circumstances should you attempt to barbecue in this heater.

How to Test Your Wood
Add a large piece of wood to the stove when it has a good large bed of coals. It is dry if it is burning on more than one side
within one minute. It is damp if it turns black and lights within three minutes. If it sizzles, hisses and blackens without igniting
in five minutes it is soaked and should not be burnt.
