OPERATION

PRE-USE CHECK

BURNING PROCESS

Use the following checklist as a guide to ensure a correct and complete installation:

All safety warnings have been read and fol- lowed.

Floor protection requirements have been met.

Chimney connector is properly installed.

The proper clearances from the stove and chimney to combustible materials have been met.

The masonry chimney is inspected and clean, or the factory built metal chimney is installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions and clearances.

The chimney meets the required minimum height.

This Owner’s Manual has been read.

All labels have been removed from the glass doors.

Gold trim has been wiped clean.

In recent years there has been an increasing concern about the quality of our air. Much of the blame for poor air quality has been placed on the burning of wood for home heating. In order to improve the situation, we at Aladdin Hearth Products have developed cleaner burning wood stoves that surpass the stringent requirements for emissions established by our governing agencies.

Properly operated and maintained your Cape Cod wood stove will obtain the peak efficiency and lowest emissions possible, resulting in better air quality for your community and more heat output per pound of wood. Improper operation and maintenance may cause any wood burning unit to release more particulate and adversely affect the environment.

It helps to know a little about the actual process of burning in order to understand how to operate the stove for best performance.

The first stage of burning is called the kindling stage. In this stage, the wood is heated to a temperature high enough to evaporate the moisture which is present in all wood. The wood will reach the boiling point of water (212°F) and will not get any hotter until the water is evaporated. This process takes heat from the coals and tends to cool the stove.

Fire requires three things to burn: fuel, air and heat. If heat is robbed from the stove during the drying stage, the new load of wood has reduced the chances for a good clean burn. For this reason, it is always best to burn dry, seasoned firewood. When the wood isn’t dry, you must open the air controls and burn the stove at a high burn setting for a longer time to initiate the burn.
