SECTION VII

OPERATION

This section of the manual is to help you get the maximum efficiency and maximum smoke (particulate) reduction from your heater. If you should experience any difficulty or have any questions concerning your heater, contact your dealer for assistance.

Build a fire for maximum efficiency. This model burns wood and extracts heat so efficiently, a large fire is not necessary. A large fire not only wastes energy, it usually results in the home being too warm for comfort.

The following steps will serve as a guide for operating your stove.

BUILDING A FIRE:

1.Open the door.

2.While looking inside the firebox, operate the damper bypass door in and out observing the movement. If the door does not operate freely and seal to the door opening, then the door has jumped out of its track during shipping and/or installation.

3.Open the primary air control on right side of the stove. Also, open outside air control if so equipped (mobile home installations).

4.Twist two pieces of non-colored newspaper into a roll and place them on the floor of the firebox.

5.The Model 20 is not designed for the use of grates, andirons or other methods of supporting the fuel.

6.Lay several pieces of dry kindling on top of the newspaper.

7.Place three or four small pieces of firewood, 2-3” in diameter, on top of the kindling.

8.Light the newspaper in the front, close and latch the door. Don’t leave the fire unattended at this point. The draft system of the heater should start quickly. It may be necessary to preheat the chimney to get the draft started. To do this, open the door and add newspaper to the top rear of the wood. Light or let this paper ignite and allow to burn while holding the door slightly cracked. Once the draft has started, close and lock the door.

9.After embers and a coal bed have been established, load the heater with wood.

MODEL 20 OPERATION

A.Low Burn Rate: Set primary air control to the low setting. Set the Auto-Off-Manual switch to the Auto position. Wood Loading—During refueling, open (pull-out) the bypass damper to allow smoke in the firebox to escape, open the door, and add wood. Immediately close door and bypass damper. Reopen the door 1/4” for one (1) minute to charge wood. Close and latch door. After most of the wood is burned, if you are not planning on reloading immediately, it may be necessary to open the bypass damper and door to rake the wood and coals into a pile near the front center of the firebox. (Be certain wood chunks are pulled out of the rear corners.) Close door and bypass damper. This step will assure continued combustion and thorough burning of the wood.

B.Medium—Low Burn Rate: Set the primary air control to the medium-low setting. Set the Auto-Off- Manual switch to the Auto position. Wood Loading—During refueling, open the bypass damper, open the door, and add wood. Immediately close door and bypass damper. Open primary air control wide open for five minutes to charge wood. Reset primary air control to the med-low setting. After most of the wood is burned, if you are not planning on reloading immediately, it may be necessary to open the bypass damper and door to rake the wood and coals into a pile near the front center of the firebox. (Be certain wood chunks are pulled out of the rear corners.) Close door and bypass damper. This step will assure continued combustion and thorough burning of the wood.

C.Medium—High Burn Rate: Set the primary air control wide open. Set the Auto-Off-Manual switch to the Auto position. Wood Loading—During refueling, open the bypass damper, open the door and add wood. Immediately close door and bypass damper. Open primary air control wide open for five minutes to charge wood. Reset primary air control to med-high setting. After most of the wood is burned, if you are not planning on reloading immediately, it may be necessary to open the bypass damper
