OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
17
DO NOT STORE WOOD ON FLOOR PROTECTOR,
UNDERNEATH STOVEPIPE, OR ANYWHERE
WITHIN MINIMUM CLEARANCES FROM
COMBUSTIBLE SURFACES SPECIFIED FOR THIS
STOVE.
KEEP ALL FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS, ESPECIALLY
GASOLINE, OUT OF THE VICINITY OF THE STOVE
-WHETHER IN USE OR IN STORAGE.
DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO START
THE FIRE.
NEVER USE CHEMICALS, GASOLONE, GASOLINE
-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL
LIGHTER FLUID, OR SIMILAR FLAMMABLE
LIQUIDS TO START OR “FRESHEN-UP” A FIRE IN
THE STOVE.
Hardwood, 18” to 20”/45cm to 50cm should be air dried
(seasoned),for a minimum of 1 year. Logs grater than
6”/152mm in diameter should be split. Wood should be
stored in a dry, well ventilated area.
The humidity content for usable firewood must be less
than 20% of the weight of the log.
Attempts to use wet or unseasoned wood will cause:
-ignition problems
-rapid creosote build-up resulting in chimney fire
-incomplete combustion
-low heat yield
-blackened windows
This stove is designed to get the most efficient transfer
of heat energy from the wood fuel and radiate in into your
living environment. The fire box introduces combustion air
through three sources.(1) Immediately beneath the door
opening below the window is a Lower Primary Air
Orifice(LPAO).(2) The primary air inlet control(center contro
l lever) bring air into the firebox and controls the rate of burn
(and the amount of the heat the stove radiates).(3) The
secondary air tubes at the top of the firebox are designed
to ignite the combustion gases(smoke) given off by the
burning wood and increase the efficiency of the stove
and reduces chimney emissions.
Smoke given off by burning fuel consist of very small
organic liquid droplets. If there droplets condense, they
form a sticky tar-like substance called creosote. When
operate properly, the stove is designed to burn these
droplets. Burning these droplets releases heat that would
otherwise be lost up the chimney as smoke. Following
the instructions below will help you operate your stove
properly to maximize the stove’s performance. Actual
performance is dependent on chimney
THIS STOVE IS DESIGNED TO BURNED WOOD
FUEL ONLY!

OPERATING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. NEVER OVER FIRE THIS STOVE BY BUILDING
EXCESSIVELY HOT FIRES AS A HOUSE/ BUILDING
FIREWAY RESULT. YOU ARE OVER FIRING THE
STOVE IF UNIT OR STOVEPIPE BEGINS TO GLOW
OR TURN RED.
2. NEVER BUILD EXTREMELY LARGE FIRES IN THIS
TYPE OF STOVE AS DAMAGE TO THE STOVE OR
SMOKE LEAKAGE MAY RESULT.
3. ON MODELS WITH GLASS DOOR, DO NOT BUILD
FIRE TOO CLOSE TO GLASS. DO NOT OPERATE
WITH CRACKED OR BROKEN GLASS.
4. UNIT IS HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. KEEP
CHILDREN, CLOTHING, AND FURNITURE AWAY.
CONTACT MAY CAUSE SKIN BURNS. DO NOT
TOUCH THE STOVE AFTER FIRING UNTIL IT HAS
COOLED.
5. PROVIDE AIR INTO THE ROOM FOR PROPER
COMBUSTION.
6. INSPECT STOVEPIPE EVERY 60 DAYS. REPLACE
IMMEDIATELY IF STOVEPIPE IS RUSTING OR
LEAKING SMOKE INTO THE ROOM.
This heater is designed to burn natural wood only.
Higher efficiencies and lower emissions generally
result when burning air dried seasoned hardwoods, as
compared to softwoods or to green or freshly cut
hardwoods. DO NOT BURN
1) Garbage;
(2) Lawn clippings or yard waste;
(3) Materials containing rubber, including tires;
(4) Materials containing plastic;
(5) Waste petroleum products, paints or paint thinners,
or asphalt products;
(6) Materials containing asbestos;
(7) Construction or demolition debris;
(8) Railroad ties or pressure-treated wood;
(9) Manure or animal remains;
(10) Salt water driftwood or other previously salt water
saturated materials;
(11) Unseasoned wood;
(12) Paper products, cardboard, plywood, or
particleboard.
WARNING: EXPLOSION HAZARD
The prohibition against burning these materials
does not prohibit the use of fire starters made from
paper cardboard, saw dust, wax and similar
substances for the purpose of starting a fire in an
affected wood heaterBurning these materials may
result in release of toxic fumes or render the heater
ineffective and cause smoke
