STARTING AND MAINTAINING A FIRE
Figure 23Figure 243. Place a small amount of crumpled paper in front of the firebox and
cover it with a few pieces of kindling.
4. Light the paper and allow sufficient time for the kindling to become
fully engulfed in flames. You will now close the wood units front door.
(Your wood units front door may or may not need to be left slightly
open during this start up process, this depends on the stove model
and the amount of draft present.
DO NOT LEAVE THE STOVE UNATTENDED WHILE THE FRONT
DOOR IS SLIGHTLY OPEN.
CAUTION: Do Not alter the adjustment range of the draft control
for increased firing for any reason.
Operate only with fuel door and ash drawer closed. Maintain
all seals in good condition. Do not operate with broken glass.
Do Not build the fire too close to the glass.
Be sure to clean plated accessories with a household type glass
cleaner and a very soft cloth to remove any fingerprints and
residues prior to the first fire.
1. NEVER USE FLAMMABLE LIqUIDS TO START OR REKINDLE
A SOLID FUEL FIRE!!
2. Fully open the primary draft control by placing draft control (wood
handle located on left side of the stove) in the highest position. This
control determines the amount of air entering the stove. Lowering
this control reduces the burn rate of the stove. For your convenience,
the control is marked with five positions to assist you in obtaining
repeatable burn rates.
Low Burn
Medium Burn
High Burn
