OPERATING TIPS

OPERATION

Here are a few tips on operating your Cape Cod stove to obtain maximum efficiency with lowest emissions:

1.When initially loading the stove, burn your Cape Cod with the primary air control wide open for a minimum of 15 minutes, and the start-up air control open for 5 to 15 minutes. Then adjust for your desired heat output.

2.Regulate burn rate (heat output) by using the primary air slide control (center, under ashcatcher). The start-up air control (on the right) is used only for initial start-up.

3.Heat output settings: See TABLE A below. These are approximate settings, and will vary with type of wood or chimney draft. Always burn dry, well-seasoned wood.

NOTE: If you have installed a blower, please see pg. 25 for operating considerations.

CAUTION! If the door handle is left on the stove during operation, it may overheat and cause burns to your hand, either remove the handle during operation, or wear protective gloves. Also, use care when operating the draft control knobs as they also become hot during operation.
