OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Leave the air control fully open (in the "HI" position) for
15 minutes. After 15 minutes rotate the air control to the
medium position (midway between the "Low" and "Hi"
position).
For a low burn setting once the high burn (or medium)
fuel load is burned down to an established coal bed, load
the unit with 14 to 15 lbs of cordwood and close the door
immediately. Leave the air control fully open (in the "HI"
position) for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes begin to rotate
the air control to the "Low" postion (air control rotated fully
up). NOTE: Do not close the air too quickly. Closing the air
too quickly will cause the unit to smoke.

VISIBLE SMOKE
The amount of visible smoke being produced can be
an effective method of determining how efficiently the
combustion process is taking place in the given settings.
Visible smoke consists of unburned fuel and moisture
leaving your stove. Learn to adjust the air settings of your
specific unit to produce the smallest amount of visible
smoke. Wood that has not been seasoned properly and
has a high wood moisture content will produce excess
visible smoke and burn poorly.
AIR TUBES
The air tubes assembled in this unit are designed to
provide an accurate mix of secondary air to ensure the
highest efficiency. Any damage or deterioration of these
tubes may reduce the efficiency of combustion. The air
tubes are held in position by screws or snap pins. Locate
these to either side of the tube and remove it to allow the
tube to be removed and replaced.
BLOWER OPERATION
WARNING: RISK OF FIRE.
DO NOT ROUTE THE BLOWER POWER SUPPLY CORD
NEAR OR ACROSS HOT SURFACES!
The variable-speed blower circulates air warmed by the
firebox into the living area to distribute the heat more
evenly. The blower control knob is located on the side of
the blower housing. Turn the knob clockwise to turn the
blower on. The speed is controlled by turning the knob
clockwise for slower speeds and counter-clockwise
for faster speeds. To turn the blower off, turn the speed
control knob fully counter-clockwise. It is recommended
to turn the blower off when the unit is not in operation. The
blower should be removed at the beginning of every "burn"
season and air-blown clean, removing any dust or build-up.
