STARTING A FIRE
DO NOT LEAVE STOVE UNATTENDED WITH DOOR OPEN!
The top down method of
fi
re building is recommended for this appliance. After making sure that the stove air intake con-
trols are fully open (completely pull-out towards you), Place the largest pieces of wood on the bottom, laid in parallel and
close together. Smaller pieces are placed in a second layer, crossways to the
fi
rst. A third layer of still smaller pieces is
laid crossways to the second, this time with some spaces between. Then a fourth layer of loose, small kindling and twisted
newspaper sheets tops off the pile. Add large pieces of wood as the
fi
re progresses being careful not to overload. (Do not
fi
ll
fi
rebox beyond
fi
rebrick area.) An ideal coal bed of 1 –2” should be established to achieve optimum performance. This
unit is designed to function most effectively when air is allowed to circulate to all areas of the
fi
rebox. TIP: If ash or coals
remain in the stove, make sure to clear them away from the Lower Primary Air Ori
fi
ce (LPAO) and rake a slight (1-to-2
inch wide) trough down the center of the coal bed from front to back prior to loading the fuel. Once fuel has been loaded,
close the door and leave the air inlet control fully open until
fi
re is well established (at least 15–20 minutes) being careful
not to over
fi
re (if any of the exterior parts of the stove or chimney connections begin to glow you are over
fi
ring the stove).
Re-adjust the door air inlet control to desired burn rate. (If excessive smoke
fi
lls the
fi
rebox, open air inlet control slightly
until
fl
ames resume and wood is suf
fi
ciently ignited.) The basic rule of thumb is “closed - low,” “half way open - medium”
and “fully open - high.”
NOTE: The four (4) inlet holes in the primary air inlet control slide are designed to remain partially open with slide in the
closed position.
1. Set Primary Air Inlet Control Lever “A” to fully open by pushing the center control lever (located under hearth plate)
inward toward the rear of stove. Set the Secondary Air (High Burn) Control Lever “B” to the closed position by pulling
the lever fully out. NOTE: OPEN/HIGH = IN; CLOSED/LOW = OUT (see iIlustrations below)
2. Open the feed door and place several wads of crushed paper in the
fi
rebox. Cover the paper with a few pieces of
small kindling wood.
3. Ignite the paper and leave the door slightly open until the kindling
fi
re is established. Close and secure the door.
DO NOT LEAVE STOVE UNATTENDED WITH THE DOOR OPEN!
Slowly add additional wood, adding larger pieces as the
fi
re progresses.
4. Once
the
fi
re is fully established you may select the desired burn rate. Be careful not to over
fi
re the stove.
