AIR CONTROL

EN
THIS WOOD APPLIANCE HAS A MANUFACTURER-SET MINIMUM LOW BURN RATE THAT MUST
NOT BE ALTERED. IT IS AGAINST FEDERAL REGULATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES TO ALTER THIS
SETTING OR OTHERWISE OPERATE THIS WOOD APPLIANCE IN A MANNER INCONSISTENT WITH
Draft is the force which moves air from the firebox up through the
chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney depends on the length
and diameter of chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and
other factors including the amount of heat generated by the fire which
can be measured by an appliance thermometer.
Adjusting the air control regulates the temperature. The draft can be
adjusted from a low burn rate with the handle in fully, to a fast burn rate
with the handle fully out.
Inadequate draft may cause back-puffing into the room through the
appliance and chimney connector points and may cause plugging of the chimney. Too much draft may
cause an excessive temperature in the appliance, glowing red appliance parts or chimney connectors or an
uncontrollable burn which can lead to a chimney fire or permanent damage to the appliance.
Do not operate your appliance for longer than 30 minutes with the draft control on "HIGH" (fully open).
7.3 FIRE EXTINGUISHERS / SMOKE & CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS
NOTE: Always check your smoke and CO detectors are working properly.
All homes with a solid fuel burning appliance should have at least one fi re extinguisher in a central location,
known to all and at least one smoke detector and carbon monoxide (CO) detector in the room containing the
appliance. If the smoke detector sounds an alarm, correct the cause but do not de-activate or relocate the
smoke detector. If the carbon monoxide detector sounds an alarm, immediately vent the area, evacuate and
call your local fi re department.

FUEL

DO NOT STORE FUEL WITHIN THE CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES, OR IN THE SPACE REQUIRED
BURNING WET, UNSEASONED WOOD CAN CAUSE EXCESSIVE CREOSOTE ACCUMULATION. WHEN
IGNITED IT CAN CAUSE A CHIMNEY FIRE THAT MAY RESULT IN A SERIOUS HOUSE FIRE.
Maximum heat for minimum fuel (optimum burn) occurs when the appliance top temperature is between 500°F
(260°C) and 600°F (315°C). The bricks will be nearly all white and the glass mostly clear. The whiteness of the
bricks and the cleanliness of the glass are good indicators of your operating efficiency. Not enough heat is
produced when only one or two pieces of wood are burned or the wood may not burn completely. A minimum
of three pieces are needed to encase a bed of coals that sustains the fire.
Loosely stacked wood burns quicker than a tightly packed load. Wood burns in cycles rather than giving a
steady output of heat. It is best to plan these cycles around your household routine so that only enough coals
are left to start the next load. In the evening, load your appliance, at least, a half-hour before bed to ensure a
good fire, hot enough to close the draft control for an overnight burn.
Burn only dry seasoned wood with 20% moisture content. It produces more heat and less soot or creosote.
Do not burn ocean beach wood. Its salt content can produce a metal eating acid. When refueling open the
door slowly to prevent smoke spillage. Use a pair of long gloves (barbecue gloves) when feeding the fire.
Because these appliances burn from the front to back, they are clean and efficient, but they are also very hot
and gloves are useful. Keep a small steel shovel nearby to use as a poker and to remove ashes. Do not store
the wood within 3 feet (1m) of the appliance.
