Normal Operation
1) To refuel, adjust air control to “H” (high) position (pushed to the far left) and give the
fire time to brighten. Open door slowly, this will prevent smoke from rolling out.
2) Use wood of different shape, diameter and length (up to 450mm”). Load your wood
endwise and try to place the logs so that air can flow between them. Always use dry
wood.
3) Do not load fuel to a height or in such a manner that would be hazardous when
opening the door..
4) Set air control to desired setting. If smoke pours down across the glass (waterfall
effect), this indicates you have shut the control down too soon or you are using too
low a setting. As every home’s heating needs vary (i.e. insulation, windows, climate,
etc.), the proper setting can only be found by trial and error and should be noted
for future burns.
5) For extended or overnight burns, unsplit logs are preferred. Remember to char the
wood completely on “H” (high) setting before adjusting air control for overnight burn.
Experience will give you the right settings for proper combustion and efficient burning.
Remember, the air inlet setting is affected by variables such as type of wood, outside
temperature, chimney size and weather conditions. With practice, you will become
proficient in operating your heater and will obtain the performance for which it was
designed.
Restarting after Overnight Burn
1) Open door and rake hot embers towards the front of the heater. Add a couple of
dry, split logs on top of embers, close door.
2) Adjust air control to “H” (high) position (pushed to the far left) and in just a few
minutes, logs should begin burning.
3) After wood has charred, reset air control to desired setting.
4) When burning at a slow rate for extended periods, occasionally maintain a strong
fire under supervision for a couple of hours to remove firebox and chimney deposits
as well as any of the deposits on the glass.
Proper Draft
1) Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up through the chimney.
The amount of draft in your chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local
geography, nearby obstructions and other factors.
2) Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the appliance. An uncontrollable
burn or a glowing red stove part or chimney indicates excessive draft.
3) Inadequate draft may cause backpuffing into the room and plugging of the chimney.
Smoke leaking into the room through appliance and chimney connector joints indicates
inadequate draft.
WARNING: Always keep loading
door closed when burning, exept as
instructed during start-up. This heater
is not designed for open door burning
DO NOT OVERFIRE THIS HEATER:
Attempts to achieve heat output
rates that exceed heater design
specifications can result in permanent
damage to the heater and chimney.
WARNING: No alteration or
modification of the combustion air
control assembly is permitted. Any
tampering will void warranty and
could be very hazardous.
CAUTION: Unit hot while in operation.
