5Shutdown Procedure:

2To kill the fire or stop burning the stove, turn the Mode Selector knob to the "OFF" position. This will stop the feeder and the fire will burn out. When the stove cools to about 95 degrees Fahrenheit, all motors will stop. The unit can then be unplugged.

NOTE: It is always best to let the stove run out of coal to shut it down rather than use the "OFF" position. This is because there is no moisture left in the hopper from the coal. Always run the stove out of coal to shut it down when the heating season is over or if the stove will not be used for several days.

Restarting Fire After Shutdown:

All ash and partially burned coal must be cleaned out from behind grates down under firebrick until fresh coal is seen. Follow "Starting Fire" procedure above.
