Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cooling down cycles are normal and to be expected.
TIPS FOR BURNING:
•
Create a large fi re to heat up the chimney.
•
To create a large, quick burning fi re, use small pieces of wood.
•
For a lower but extended burn, stack large pieces of wood close together.
•
For long burns, leave a 1" (25mm) - 2" (51mm) bed of ashes.
•
Burn dry wood only.
•
Create large, quick burning fi res whenever possible. Smaller, slow burning fi res using large logs will cause
the glass to become dirty. Larger, quick burning fi res using medium sized wood to refuel frequently are much
more effi cient.
•
It is important to minimize visible smoke emitting from the chimney. Burning seasoned fi rewood, and following
the operating instruction contained within this manual will ensure that visible smoke emissions are minimized.
DOS
•
Verify with a moisture meter that wood contains no
more than 20% moisture content.
•
Burn several pieces of medium sized wood as they
are better than a few big pieces.
•
Clean chimney regularly.
•
Refuel frequently using medium sized wood.
3.1
operating sounds and smells
It is normal during operation to hear creaking and/or ticking sounds as the metal plate components of the
appliance expand and contract. This may be present during both warm up and cool down periods.
During the break-in period (the fi rst two or three fi res) create only small, hot fi res using kindling. This will allow the
fi rebrick to cure. Do not be alarmed if small hairline cracks develop in the fi rebrick. This is a normal occurrence and
does not pose a safety hazard. During this time, the paint may also emit an odour as it cures and you may wish to
open a door or window to alleviate the smell.
There are many different ways to start a fi re; review the hints and warnings in this section to ensure the fi re is
starting properly.
3.2
fi re extinguishers / smoke detectors & carbon monoxide 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 deactive 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.

DON'TS
•
Take ash out immediately. Let it accumulate to
a depth of at least 1" (25mm). A good ash layer
provides a longer lasting and better burning fi re.
•
Burn wet wood with more than 20% moisture
content.
•
Close the door too soon or damper down too
quickly.
•
Burn one large log rather than two or three smaller,
sized logs.
