Maytag C310 operation manual Operating Hints

Operating Hints

1.Burn only dry, well-seasoned wood for maxi- mum heat output. In some states it is illegal to burn wet wood or anything other than clean, dry wood products.

2.Your stove is designed to operate with the door closed! Operate only with the door shut tightly at all times except when loading wood.

3.DO NOT hit or move the baffle brick while load- ing wood. Occasionally check the baffle. Make sure the insulating blanket is always flush with the front of the baffle brick. Loading oversized logs may dislodge the baffle bricks.

4.CAUTION: THE DRAFT CONTROL MUST BE FULLY OPEN BEFORE OPENING THE DOOR TO AVOID POSSIBLE COMBUSTION FLASH!! (Ignition of hot volatile gases as the door is opened).

5.Feeding excessive amounts of fuel to the stove should be avoided. It is important to supply it with sufficient draft and fuel to maintain a moderately hot fire. If, during overnight burns, heavy creosote deposits develop inside your stove and on the door, the draft is set too low - review your burning habits!
