CARE AND OPERATION

HOW TO START AND MAINTAIN A FIRE

1.Using the Air Control Tool (provided), open the Start-Up Air Control (see Start-Up Air Control, on page 15).

2.Adjust the primary air draft control to the full open position (see Primary Air Draft Control on page 15).

3.Open the side fuel loading door and build your fire directly on the grate in the firebox.

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. Once the fire is well underway, close the door. The upper fire should preheat the chimney and create an effec- tive draft while the lower fire ignites the kindling.

4.After the kindling is burning well, add increasingly larger pieces of wood until the fire is actively burn- ing (see notes below). Leave the fuel door open (slightly ajar for 5 minutes). Then close the stove door. Never leave the stove unattended when the door is open.

When loading fuel, be careful not to smother the fire.

Load logs evenly across the base being cautious not to place wood in front of the rear edge of the log guard.

5.Once a bed of coals has been established, adjust the primary air control to a lower setting AND

CLOSE THE START-UP AIR CONTROL.

AIR DELIVERY SYSTEMS

Tip – Using the air control tool, adjust the primary air draft control to a medium to low setting for a slow and more efficient burn. On higher settings, it is more efficient to burn with a bright but not roaring fire.

When Refueling

1.Follow the normal procedure for refuelling descri- bed on page 18. However, instead of cracking the door open ½ ″, open the start-up air control by pul- ling the lever outwards. This will supply enough primary combustion air to allow the fire to recover.

DO NOT LEAVE THE START-UP AIR CONTROL OPEN FOR MORE THAN FIVE MINUTES. CLOSE BY PUSHING THE LEVER INWARDS.
