Ignition (cont’d):

Before igniting the paper and kindling wood, it is recommended that you warm up the chimney. This is done in order to avoid back draft problems; cold air from the outside tends to penetrate into the chimney. Twist together a few sheets of newspaper into a torch. Light up this paper torch and hold it as close as possible to the entry of the flue inside the combustion chamber to warm up the chimney. Once the updraft movement is initiated, you are ready to ignite the stove by lighting the paper and kindling wood inside the combustion chamber.

Leave the door slightly opened (a few inches) for a 5 to 10 minute period, under supervision, in order to allow for good combustion. After this time, you may close the door and progressively adjust the air control to obtain the desired intensity.

CAUTION:

-Do not leave the stove unattended when the door is slightly opened.

-When the stove is used for the first time, intense fire is prohibited in order to allow adequate curing of the paint covering the stove and to prevent a "thermal shock" which may remove or whiten the paint.

-Make sure the area where the stove is located is well ventilated, to remove the bad odors emitted from the paint, during the first, two or three hours of using the stove and for the first three or four fire start-ups.

-Never heat the stove outside before installation: it is then impossible to adequately monitor the combustion intensity, which can provoke overheating and a thermal shock to the paint.

-Never use fluid or chemical products to ignite the fire.

-Do not burn waste, flammable fluids such as gasoline, naphtha or motor oil.

Heating:

Once you have obtained a good bed of embers you should reload the unit. For optimal and safe operation, we recommend that you operate the stove with a wood load not higher than 6 inches.

The combustion air intake control is located on the door. We strongly recommend that you install a magnetic thermometer on your smoke exhaust pipe, approximately 18" (457 mm) above the stove. This thermometer will indicate the temperature of your gas exhaust fumes within the smoke exhaust system. The ideal temperature of the flue is between 250°F and 475°F.
