K. Building A Fire

WARNING

Fire Risk.

Keep combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids clear of appliance.

•Do NOT store flammable materials in the appliance’s vicinity.

•Do NOT use gasoline, lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a fire in this heater.

•Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use.

•Combustible materials may ignite.

•Open door slowly so that ash or smoke does not exit ap- pliance through opening.

•Large logs burn slowly, holding a fire longer.

•Small logs burn fast and hot, giving quick heat.

9.As long as there are hot coals, repeating steps 6 through 8 will maintain a continuous fire.

NOTE:

•Build fire on brick firebox floor.

•Do NOT use grates, andirons or other methods to support fuel.

It will adversely affect emissions.

Before lighting your first fire in the appliance:

1.Confirm the baffle and ceramic blanket are correctly positioned. They should be even with the front tube and resting on all tubes. See page 12.

2.Remove all labels from glass.

There are many ways to build a fire. The basic principle is to light easily-ignitable tinder or paper, which ignites the fast burning kindling, which in turn ignites the slow-burning fire- wood. Here is one method that works well:

1.Open the Burn Rate Air and Start-Up Air Controls fully.

2.Place several wads of crushed paper on the firebox floor. Heating the flue with slightly crumpled newspaper before adding kindling keeps smoke to a minimum.

3.Lay small dry sticks of kindling on top of the paper.

4.Make sure that no matches or other combustibles are in the immediate area of the appliance. Be sure the room is ventilated and the flue unobstructed.

5.Light the paper in the appliance. NEVER light or rekindle fire with kerosene, gasoline, or charcoal lighter fluid; the results can be fatal.

6.Once the kindling is burning quickly, add several full-length logs 3 to 4 inches (76 - 102mm) in diameter. Be careful not to smother the fire. Stack the pieces of wood 1/2 to 1 inch apart (13-25mm); near enough to keep each other hot, but far enough away from each other to allow air flow between them.

7.Set the Burn Rate Air Control and activate the timer sys- tem (ACC).

8.When ready to reload, It is best to fully open both the Burn Rate Air and Start-up Air Controls before reloading.

•This livens up the coalbed and reduces excessive emis- sions (opacity/smoke).

CAUTION

Odors and vapors released during initial operation.

•Curing of high temperature paint.

•Open windows for air circulation.

Odors may be irritating to sensitive individuals.
