Restarting After Extended or Overnight Burns
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 high (left position) and in just a few minutes, logs should begin
burning.
3. After wood has charred, reset air control to desired setting.
4. To achieve maximum firing rate, set control to high (left position). Do not use this
setting other than for starting or preheating fresh fuel loads.
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.
Ash Removal
Whenever ashes get 76 mm to 102 mm inches deep in your firebox, and when fire
has burned down and cooled, remove excess ashes. Leave an ash bed approximately
(25 mm) deep on the firebox bottom to help maintain a hot charcoal bed.
Ash Chute Operation: Your Alderlea stove is equipped with an ash chute system to
ease removal of ash from the ash lip area. To use this system, first pull out the ash pan
approximately 51 mm, sweep the ash into the chute located to the right side of the ash
lip, and close the ash pan again.
Ash Cleanout System: The ash dump handle is located under the ash lip on the left
hand side. To operate ash dump, pull handle out 13 mm and turn clockwise. This will
unlock the ash dump and allow it to open. Hold handle open while pulling ashes into the
opening. Avoid large embers as these still contain heat value. Release handle and push
in to lock. Ensure ash dump door is properly engaged. Fill the cavity with the remaining
ash level with the firebox floor. Pull out ashpan and discard ashes into metal container.
Replace ashpan and ensure it is seated properly.
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.
Do not burn with ash dump door open.
Doing so will create a hazardous
condition. Always leave about 25 mm of
ash in firebox when cleaning.
CAUTION:
Ashes are to be removed only when the
heater is cold.
