HEATER OPERATION

IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE THE HEATER UNTIL A PROFESSIONAL INSPECTION HAS BEEN MADE OF THE ENTIRE INSTALLATION BY YOUR LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT, FIRE MARSHAL OR BUILDING CODE INSPEC- TOR. INSTALL A SMOKE DETECTOR ON EACH FLOOR OF YOUR HOME; IN CASE OF ACCIDENTAL FIRE FROM ANY CAUSE IT CAN PROVIDE TIME FOR ESCAPE.

This heater must be operated as outlined in this manual or a serious fire may occur.

THE PAINT ON THE EXTERIOR OF THE FIREBOX WILL GO THROUGH A CURING PROCESS DURING THE FIRST FIRING OF THE HEATER AND WILL EMIT SMOKE AND ODOR. BE PREPARED FOR THIS BY RAISING A WIN- DOW OR OPENING A DOOR TO PROVIDE VENTILATION.

The first three times the heater is fired, the fire should be regulated so as to increase in intensity gradually to allow the painted components to cure slowly and to allow the other components to adjust to their expanded size.

Be sure the room is adequately ventilated and the flue unobstructed before beginning a fire in the heater.

TO BUILD A FIRE

1.Set the heater’s thermostat control knob to the “Hi” position. See figure 9.

2.Open the heater’s fuelfeed door (see figure 10) and place several wadded grapefruit-size newspaper balls on the heater’s grate. Be sure the heater’s ash removal door is securely closed.

3.Cover te newspaper balls with dry kindling sticks. Place the kindling sticks close enough to one another so the flames can move easily from one stick to the other. If the kindling is packed too tightly, the fire will suffocate, smoke and then die out. (NOTE: Softwoods make better kindling than hardwooks because softwoods burn faster than the hardwoods.)

NOTE: If the heater tends to smoke when first lit, a draft may be induced by holding a torch of rolled-up newspaper at the opening of the flue collar. Occasionally, this must be done two or three times to establish an updraft before proceeding to the following step 4. It may also help to open a house door or window slightly.

4.Light the wadded balls of paper in the heater. Leave the fuel feed door slightly ajar (approximately 1 to 2 inches) to allow plenty of exygen to reach the fire, but DO NOT LEAVE THE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE ITS FUEL FEED DOOR IS OPEN.

WARNING: NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE 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.
