Getting Acquainted
The Artisan stove is a time proven heating and cooking appliance. Take your time to acquaint yourself with the principles on which your new stove operates as a heater and a cooking stove.
Familiarizing yourself with the primary principles of the air intake controls, the oven damper, the flame path for the fire and the relationship to the chimney will give you a very comprehensive understanding of what you are trying to accomplish with the stove.
Save These Instructions
Keep the manual available for future reference. The manual is an important part of your stove. If your stove is sold, deliver the manual to the new owner along with the stove.
The quality of the installation (especially the chimney connector and chimney), and the quality of the fuel being burned will affect the performance of your stove, but the most important factor is the way you operate the stove. With the help of this manual, you will learn how to effectively heat and cook with your stove. Be sure to read it entirely, including the terms of reference and function.
In addition, your own experience will help you to learn the role that the chimney plays in stove performance. The Artisan has been tested and is listed by Warnock Hersey. The test standards are ULC
