ING DOOR.
Your ALDERLEA stove is designed for maximum overall efficiency at a moderate firing rate. Overfir-
ing is hazardous and a waste of fuel. Too slow a burn contributes to creosote buildup and lowers
combustion efficiency.
NOTE: Left and Right as referred to in this manual are considered your left and right when
facing the front of the woodstove.
Wood Selection
This heater is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher efficiency and lower emissions generally
result when burning air-dried seasoned hardwoods, as compared to softwoods or too 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 produce large amounts of creosote. Wet wood also produces very
little heat and tends to go out often.
DO NOT BURN :
• Salt water wood *
• Treated wood
• Wet or green wood
• Coal/charcoal
• Garbage/Plastic *
• Solvents
* These materials contain chlorides which will rapidly destroy metal surfaces and void warranty.
Do not burn anything but wood. Other fuels (eg. charcoal) can produce large amounts of carbon
monoxide, a tasteless, odourless gas that can kill. Under no circumstances should you attempt to
barbecue in this heater.
