load of dry wood. After adding the fuel, leave air setting at maximum for 5 to 15 minutes. Then adjust the air controls and blower speed for the desired heat output.

Reloading.

Once you have prepared and maintained a thick char- coal bed, you should be able to reload the stove, allow some burning at the maximum air setting, and reset the air control in about five minutes.

Select hardwoods if possible, as they are heavier and contain more heating capacity (BTU’s) per load than do soft- woods. Wood should be split and stored under cover for “sea- soning” - a year is recommended. Your stove is not an incin-

erator - do not burn garbage, painted or treated wood, plastic, or other debris.

Keep the area around the stove free from clutter. Keep all combustibles, including fuel, beyond the code-required clearance distance (48" or 1215 mm in the U.S., 1525 mm or 60" in Canada). Never store fuel in front of the stove where it could interfere with door operation, safe loading, and ash removal.

Blower. To regulate the speed of the optional con- vection blower, adjust the control from low to high by turning the knob located on the blower cord.

Removing Wood Ashes.

Always wear gloves to remove the ash pan Lift the latch on the ash door and open. Pull the ash pan out by the handle. Lift the handle to the vertical position to carry the ashes to a disposal location. Close the ash door while you are disposing of the ashes. The fire will get very hot if the bottom door is left open even for a short period. Replace the ash pan. Re- move ashes from the fire chamber periodically by shaking the grates. Wood burns best with an ash bed under the wood; therefore, do not shake all of the ashes down.

Never let the ashes build up to over 3" in depth. Exces- sive ash buildup can prevent proper venting of exhaust gases. Also do not overfill the ash pan. Ash buildup between the ash pan and the grates can cause them to overheat and wear out prematurely.

Operating as a Fireplace.

The TLC 2000 is tested and approved to be burned with the front load door open. In this mode of operation you get a true fire sound as well as appearance. Due to the crackling and popping of burning wood it is necessary to place the op- tional screen over the door opening. This prevents sparks from entering the room just like a screen over a fireplace.

The clean-out plate should be removed to burn as a fire- place. This is done by lifting up on the tab on the front of the plate.

To install the screen, open the glass door and place the screen over the door opening. Push on the screen until the two spring clips snap into place. To remove the screen, pull on the gold handle.
