and the chimney becomes heated and provides a good draft. At this point, the roaring fi re that you see when
the door is opened is wastefully drawing heated room air up the chimney -- certainly not desirable. Always
operate with the door fully closed once the medium sized logs have caught fi re.

You can now add larger pieces of wood and operate the appliance normally. Once the appliance is entirely hot,
it will burn very effi ciently with little smoke from the chimney. There will be a bed of orange coals in the fi rebox
and secondary fl ames fl ickering just below the top fi rebrick. You can safely fi ll the fi rebox with wood to the top
of the door and will get best burns if you keep the chimney connector temperatures between 250°F (120°C)
and 450°F (270°C). A surface thermometer will help regulate this.
Without a appliance thermometer, you are working blindly and have no idea of how the appliance is operating!
An appliance thermometer offers a guide to performance and should be located 18"(457mm) above the fl ue
collar. Install the thermometer according to manufacturers instructions.
Can't get the fi re going?
Use more kindling and paper. Assuming the chimney and vent are sized correctly and there is suffi cient com-
bustion air, the lack of suffi ciently dry quantities of small kindling is the problem. Thumb size is a good gauge
for small kindling diameter.
Can't get heat out of the appliance?
One of two things may have happened. The appliance door may have been closed prematurely and the appli-
ance itself has not reached optimum temperature. Reopen the door and/or draft control to re-establish a brisk
fi re. The other problem may have been wet wood. The typical symptom is sizzling wood and moisture being
driven from the wood.

OPTIMUM BURN METHOD
For optimal emissions performance and effi ciency follow these simple guidelines when using your appliance:
A.
Maintain a 2" (51mm) deep, hot, glowing red coal bed.
B.
Burn dry seasoned wood with less than 20% moisture content and burn so that the glass door remains
clean.
C.
A stove thermometer 18" (457mm) up on the single wall stove pipe should indicate 350°F (176°C) as
an average temperature.
D.
Maintain a minimal trace of smoke coming from the chimney when the appliance is burning as
intended.
E.
Inspect and replace all necessary components such as gaskets, manifolds, glass and other
components which may affect the overall appliance performance.
F.
Ensure an adequate draft to control burn rate and temperature.
Refer to "OPERATION" and "MAINTENANCE" sections for detailed information.
7.2
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.
