CARE AND OPERATION

BREAK-IN PERIOD

Your stove finish is a high temperature paint that requires time and temperature to completely cure. We recom- mend that you ventilate the house during the initial burns. The paint emits non-toxic odors during this process.

KEEP YOUR HOUSE WELL VENTILATED DURING THE CURING PROCESS TO PREVENT ACTIVATION OF YOUR HOME SMOKE DETECTOR.

The paint manufacturer recommends three burn cycles to cure the paint. The first two burns should be low heat, approximately 250°F., for 20 minutes each, using paper and light kindling.

After each 20-minute burn, allow the appliance to cool completely. The third burn should be at least medium high or about 450°F. for 45 - 60 minutes. The paint will become soft and emit non-toxic haze during these burns. Keep the area well ventilated.

As the paint cures it will become slightly lighter in color. Eventually the entire surface will become an even color. Once the paint has been softened and cooled two or three times, it will harden. Do not turn on a blower during the curing process. Do not place anything on the stove surface until the paint is completely cured. Do not attempt to repaint the stove until the paint is completely cured. If the surface later becomes stained or marred, it may be lightly sanded and touched up with spray paint from the same paint manufacturer (See Small Area Paint Touch- Up, page 17). Paint is available at your local authorized Lennox Hearth Products dealer. Never attempt to paint a hot stove.

CATALYTIC COMBUSTOR

During the start-up of a cold stove, a medium to high fir- ing rate must be maintained for about 20 – 25 minutes. The high firing rate will ensure that the stove, the flue, the catalyst, and the fuel are all stabilized at proper operating temperatures. If the optional temperature probe is used, even though it may reach a temperature of 600° F. within only two or three minutes after the fire is started, do not set the primary air control to the "LOW" position until ap- proximately 20-25 minutes have passed. Setting the primary air control on "LOW" too early could result in ei- ther the fire or the catalytic combustor going out.

HOW TO START AND MAINTAIN A FIRE

1.OPEN the bypass damper control by pulling it toward you. In the OPEN position the draft air will bypass the catalytic combustor and make starting the fire easier.

2.Set the primary air control lever on HIGH. The HIGH setting will maximize your primary combustion air.

3.Build a fire directly on the firebrick covering the bottom of the stove.

a.Place five or six loosely crumpled sheets of newspaper in the stove.

b.Add a small amount of dry kindling randomly on the top of the newspaper.

c.Place a few more loosely crumpled newspapers on top of the kindling and light the bottom paper first, then light the top paper.

4.Once the kindling is ignited and burning on its own, close the fuel door. The upper fire should help preheat the chimney and create an effective draft while the lower fire ignites the kindling.

5.When the kindling is burning well, add increasingly larger pieces of wood until the fire is actively burning.

6.When the fire is well established, close the bypass by pushing the control rod in. The optional catalytic tem- perature probe should read 500-600°F (It takes ap- proximately 20 - 25 minutes to reach this tempera- ture).

7.Set the primary air control to the desired setting. Your stove will now provide efficient and safe heat for your home.
