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 fi rebox 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. Adjusting
the air control all the way to the left reduces the temperature. The draft can be
adjusted from low to high by moving the handle from left to right. Inadequate
draft may cause back-puffi ng 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
fi re or permanent damage to the appliance. Do not operate your appliance for
longer than 30 minutes with the air control on "HIGH" (fully open).

FIRE EXTINGUISHERS / SMOKE DETECTORS

All homes with a solid fuel burning appliance should have at least one fi re extinguisher in a central location,
known to all, 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.
When loading the appliance, ensure that the two upper fi bre baffl es are not lifted up and off their ledge. For
maximum effi ciency, when the appliance is thoroughly hot, load it fully to the top of the door opening and burn
at a medium low setting. 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
effi ciency. 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 fi re.
NOTE: When loading the appliance, ensure to keep fuel back from the glass. If coals are to accumulate
on the front lip, there is a chance they will fall out when the door is opened.
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 fi re, 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 fi re. Because
these appliances burn at the front, they are clean and effi cient, 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.
