Re-Loading the Fireplace

Follow the directions below to minimize smoke spillage while re-loading the fireplace.

1Pull the by-pass out all the way (use a glove or tool).

2Move the air control to high (all the way left).

3Open the door slightly. Let the airflow inside the firebox to stabilize before opening the doors fully.

4Load wood onto the fire (on top of the grate).

Overnight Burn

This fireplace is large enough to accommodate overnight, 10 to 12 hour burns. Follow the steps below to achieve an overnight burn.

1Get the fireplace hot by opening the air control (all the way left) and letting the fireplace burn on high for 15 minutes.

2Load as much wood as possible. Use large pieces if possible.

3Let the fireplace burn on high for 15 minutes to keep the fireplace hot, then turn the air control to low.

4In the morning the fireplace should still be hot, with embers in the coal bed. Stir the coals and load small pieces of wood to re-ignite the fire, if desired.

N o t e : Differences if chimney height and draft may lower overall burn times.

Normal Operating Sounds

Blower Air

Dependent upon blower placement, you may hear a slight "whirring" sound coming from the blower. Turning the blower down may reduce the sound.

Firebox Body

You may notice some "clicks" and "creaks" coming from inside the fireplace. This is most noticeable when the fireplace is warming up to temperature and cooling down.

Hints for Burning

Get the appliance hot before adjusting to low burn

Use smaller pieces of wood during start-up and high burns to increase temperature

Use larger pieces of wood for overnight or sustained burns

Stack the wood tightly together to establish a longer burn

Leave a bed of ashes (1/2" deep) to allow for longer burns

Be considerate of neighbors & the environment: burn dry wood only

Burn small, intense fires instead of large, slow burning fires when possible

Learn your appliance's operating characteristics to obtain optimum performance
