Starting a Fire

Since the dawn of time man has debated the best way to start a fire. Some use the boy-scout "tee- pee", some prefer the "tic-tac-toe" stack. Either way, review the hints and warnings below to ensure proper fire starting.

•Make sure the by-pass is open while starting a fire (leave it open for the first 15 minutes).

Make sure the By-Pass is all the way out.

•Make sure the air control is open (all the way to the left). If additional air is needed, open the doors 1/4" during the first five minutes of start-up.

•If the smoke does not pass up the chimney, ball up one sheet of newspaper, place it in the center of the grate and light it. This should start the chimney drafting (this eliminates "cold air blockage").

•Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or "freshen up" a fire in this fireplace. Keep all such liquids well away from the fireplace while it is in use.

•If using a firestarter, use only products specifically designed for fireplaces - follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully.

•Use plenty of kindling to ensure the fireplace reaches a proper temperature. Once the kindling is burning rapidly, place a few larger pieces of wood onto the fire.
