FINAL CHECK
1.Recheck the specified clearances.
2.Remove all foreign material from the firebox area.
3.Open the primary air draft and damper bypass.
4.Plug the power cord into a 115V AC outlet. Set switch to “Manual” and rheostat to “High” position to ensure motor operates properly.
5.Place crumpled pieces of newspaper in the stove. Light it and close the door. Ensure that the stove draws properly through the primary draft.
6.Check for smoke leaks around the door.
7.Open the door and check for smoke escaping from the front of the stove. Smoking usually indicates a defective or poorly positioned chimney. Some chimneys with a marginal draft can be preheated by lighting newspaper and holding it near the open damper with a poker or fire tong. Once the chimney heats up, a proper draft can usually be obtained.
If a thorough review of the Troubleshooting Guide in the rear of the manual does not reveal the problem, contact your dealer for assistance.
NOTE: The unit is painted with a specially formulated high temperature paint that cures during the first two or three firings. You may notice a slight smoking effect and an odor of burning paint when you build the first fires. This is normal and is not a cause for alarm. In some cases, these fumes will activate a smoke alarm. Opening a window near the unit will allow these fumes to escape. DO NOT build a large, roaring fire until this curing is complete or the heater finish may be damaged.
