OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (Cont’d)

CAUTION: Before lighting your first fire in the stove: 1) make certain that the baffle is correctly posi- tioned. It should be resting against the rear support; 2) Follow instructions on page 22 for cleaning plated surfaces, and; 3) Remove all labels from glass.front.

CAUTION: Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use.

BUILDING A FIRE

There are many ways to build a fire. The basic principle is to light easily-ignitable tinder or paper, which ignites the fast burning kindling, which in turn ignites the slow-burning firewood. Here is one method that works well:

1. Place several wads of crushed paper on the firebox floor. Heating the flue with slightly crumpled newspaper before adding kindling keeps smoke to a minimum.

2.Lay small dry sticks of kindling on top of the paper.

3.Open Start-Up Air Control and Primary Air Slide Control fully. After 5 to 15 minutes, when the fire is well established, gently pull Start-Up Air Control forward until resistance is felt. Do not allow control to "spring back" into the open position.

4.Make sure that no matches or other combustibles are in the immediate area of the stove. Be sure the room is adequately ventilated and the flue unobstructed.

5.Light the paper in the stove. NEVER light or rekindle stove with kerosene, gasoline, or charcoal lighter fluid; the results can be fatal.

6.Once the kindling is burning quickly, add several full-length logs 3 inches (76mm) or 4 inches (102mm) in diameter. Be careful not to smother the fire. Stack the pieces of wood carefully: near enough to keep each other hot, but far enough away from each other to allow adequate air flow between them.

7.When ready to reload the stove, add more logs. Large logs burn slowly, holding a fire longer. Small logs burn fast and hot, giving quick heat.

8.Adjust the Start-Up Air Control and Primary Air Slide Control; the more you close down (slide right) the Primary Air Slide Control, the lower and slower the fire will burn. The more you open (slide left) the Primary Air Slide Control, the more heat will be produced. The Start-Up Air Control is only used for the first 5 to 15 minutes.

9.As long as there are hot coals, repeating steps 7 and 8 will maintain a continuous fire throughout the season.

NOTE: The special high temperature paint that your stove is finished with will cure as your stove heats. You will notice an odor and perhaps see some vapor rise from the stove surface; this is normal. We recommend that you open a window until the odor dissipates and paint is cured.

NOTE: Stove should be run full open for 15 minutes a day to keep air passages clean.

WARNING! DO NOT LEAVE THE FIRE UNATTENDED WHEN THE

DOOR IS UNLATCHED. UNSTABLE FIREWOOD COULD FALL OUT

OF THE FIREBOX CREATING A FIRE HAZARD TO YOUR HOME.

OPACITY

This helps to determine how cleanly your stove is burning. Opacity is measured in percent; 100% opacity is when an object is totally obscured by the smoke column from a chimney, and 0% opacity means that no smoke column can be seen. As you become familiar with your stove, you should periodically check the opacity of the smoke column emitted from your chimney. This will allow you to know how to burn your stove as nearly smoke-free as possible (aim for a goal of 0% opacity).

Isle Royale specifications

The Quadra-Fire Isle Royale is a premier wood-burning stove that exemplifies innovation, efficiency, and craftsmanship. Designed to provide reliable heating for homes and cabins, it combines traditional aesthetics with modern technology to deliver a user-friendly experience while enhancing comfort.

One of the standout features of the Isle Royale is its impressive heat output. Capable of heating spaces up to 2,000 square feet, it utilizes a powerful firebox that maximizes combustion efficiency. With a capacity of up to 3.2 cubic feet, this stove allows for longer burn times, meaning homeowners can enjoy consistent warmth without the frequent need to reload firewood.

The stove also incorporates advanced technologies that optimize performance. Its patented Quadra-Fire Four-Point Burn System ensures a complete burn of the fuel, minimizing smoke emissions while maximizing heat production. This system enhances the stove's efficiency by promoting a secondary burn that ignites unburned gases, thus producing more heat from the same amount of fuel. The result is a cleaner combustion process that is better for the environment and enhances indoor air quality.

Durability is another hallmark of the Isle Royale. Constructed from heavy-gauge steel and featuring a robust cast-iron door, this stove is built to withstand the rigors of daily use. The high-quality materials not only provide longevity but also contribute to the stove's classic appearance, which can seamlessly integrate into a variety of decorating styles.

Convenience is also addressed with features such as an easy-to-use air control system, which allows users to adjust the burn rate according to their heating needs. Additionally, the stove includes a large viewing window and a state-of-the-art ceramic glass that withstands high temperatures while providing a beautiful view of the flames. This focal point adds an aesthetic charm to any living space, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Moreover, the Isle Royale meets stringent EPA certification standards, ensuring that it operates cleanly and efficiently. Its commitment to eco-friendliness makes it a smart choice for environmentally conscious consumers who still wish to enjoy the comfort and ambiance of a traditional wood-burning stove.

In summary, the Quadra-Fire Isle Royale wood stove is a blend of efficiency, durability, and style, offering homeowners an exceptional heating solution that doesn't compromise on performance.
