ASH DRAWER
The large ash drawer located on the left side of the ped-
estal is designed to make cleaning easier by containing
the ashes in a removable drawer.
CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE STOVE WITH
THE ASH DRAWER OPEN OR AJAR, AS THIS WILL
PRODUCE EXTREME TEMPERATURES WITHIN THE
STOVE (OVERFIRING) AND COULD CAUSE DAMAGE
(SUCH DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED BY THE MANU-
FACTURERS WARRANTY). REPLACE THE ASH
DRAWER GASKET IF IT BECOMES FRAYED OR
DAMAGED.
PRIMARY AIR CONTROL
The primary combustion air delivery is controlled by the
Primary Air Control Assembly (the control handle is lo-
cated below the fuel door). The heat output can be con-
trolled by pushing the control handle in, then incremen-
tally pulling out to the desired heat output setting (See
Care and Operation Section – Primary Air Control, page
14). The fuel, the amount of heat and burn times desired,
the type of installation are all variables that will affect the
control setting. The same control settings in a variety of
installations will produce different results. You will need
to try different settings so you can learn how much heat
to expect and how long the fire will burn.

GOLD DOOR
The doorframe is plated with 24-karat industrial grade
gold and requires curing to harden the gold. Once it is
cured it will never tarnish. Prior to burning this appliance
the doorframe should be cleaned thoroughly with a good
window cleaning solution and a soft cloth. Do not use
any metal polishes or abrasives to clean the gold sur-
face. Any oils or fingerprints left on the gold could be-
come permanent blemishes if the stove is burned prior to
their removal. After the first few fires, the gold will cure.
The ¾” diameter door rope gasket is made of highly du-
rable high temperature resistant material. It must be kept
in good condition. Do not leave the stove burning with
the door ajar or open. Leaving the door ajar or open
while the stove is burning will cause excessive heat build
up in the stove (overfiring) and could ignite surrounding
combustibles as well as damage the stove (such damage
is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty).
CAUTION: WHEN OPENING THE DOOR, DO NOT EX-
TEND IT BEYOND ITS NORMAL TRAVEL. OVEREX-
TENDING THE DOOR TO A FURTHER OPEN POSITION
CAN PUT EXCESSIVE STRESS ON HINGE AREA OF
DOOR AND HINGE PINS AND MAY RESULT IN BREAK-
AGE.
DOOR OPERATION
The door handle assembly opens and securely latches the
fuel door closed. To open the door, rotate the coil handle to
the 9:00 position until door releases. To close and latch,
hold the coil handle in the 9:00 position, close the door,
then rotate the handle to the 6:00 position. See illustration
above.
