B. General Operating Information
1.Draft Before you install and/or operate your wood stove, please read the entire contents of this manual. Pay particular attention to the explanation of draft and its effect on stove performance in the Installation section. By following the installation and operating guidelines, you will ensure proper draft and gain maximum efficiency and enjoyment from your stove.
Do not alter the position of the andirons. Building a fire too close to the glass may cause damage to the glass, creating a serious risk of fire and property damage.
Select only dry, seasoned wood. Wood for burning should never be exposed to rain or extremely damp conditions. Hardwoods are favored because they are heavier and contain more heating capacity (BTU’s) per load than do softwoods. Fuel wood should be split and stored under cover for “seasoning” - at least a year is recommended. Your stove is not an incinerator - 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.
CAUTION:
Always wear fire retardant gloves
when operating the stove.

2.Doors Your stove has a large
Front Door
Before opening, always check for wood, embers, or ash that may be ready to fall out of the door.
To open the glass door, open the bypass damper first, then turn the handle clockwise and pull out; to close the door, push the door closed with the handle in the open position, then turn,
Ash Door
To open the ash door, lift up the handle and pull out. Close the door by pushing in and pushing the handle all the way down.
Top Load Door
To open the top load door, open the bypass damper and then lift to open the top load door.
All doors must be closed while the stove is in normal operation, and the gaskets routinely examined for wear and replaced when necessary. Good door seals are important for maintaining control of the stove. Never operate with the ash door open. Operating the stove with the ash door open, or with a door inadequately sealed, could create a serious overfiring condition (discussed later in this section).
The glass used in your stove is manufactured to exact standards to withstand the high heat of the fire, but like all glass, it must be treated with common sense and care. Never abuse the glass by slamming the door shut or striking the glass with a heavy object. If the glass is broken or damaged, do not operate the stove until it has been replaced
