OPERATION
Do not use a grate or elevate fire. Build wood fire directly
on hearth. When the stove is used for the first time the
solvents in the paint will smoke off.
WOOD
This heater is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher
efficiency and lower emissions generally result when
burning air dried seasoned hardwood, as compared to
softwood or to green or freshly cut hardwood. Only use
dry seasoned wood. Green wood, besides burning at only
60 percent of the fuel value of dry wood, deposits creosote
on the inside of your stove and along the chimney. This
can cause an extreme danger of chimney fire. To be called
seasoned, wood must be dried for a year. Regardless
of whether the wood is green or seasoned, it should be
stored in a well-sheltered, ventilated area to allow proper
drying during the year to come. Wood should be stored
beyond recommended clearance from combustibles.
DO NOT BURN:
• Treated Wood • Solvents • Trash • Coal
• Garbage • Cardboard • Coloured Papers
INSTRUCTIONS FOR FIRST BURN - CURING THE
STOVE PAINT
Your stove has been painted with the highest quality
stove paint and has special break-in procedures. The
heat generated by the normal operation of the stove, will
serve to harden the paint.Ventilate the house during the
first three times the stove is used. The paint on the stove
will give off smoke, carbon dioxide and an odor. Without
adequate ventilation, concentrations of smoke could
irritate you or cause damage to person and/or property.
Open doors and windows and use a fan if necessary.
After the initial burns, the paint will be cured and there
should be no more smoke.
Each of the initial burns should be conducted as follows:
1. The first and second burns should be at approximately
250 deg F (120 deg C) for approximately 20 minutes.
2. The third burn should be between 500 deg F (260 to
370 deg C) for at least 45 minutes. The important
fact is the paint should be cured slowly. Avoid hot
fires during the curing process. During the curing
process the paint will be gummy. Once cured the
paint will remain hard. It is normal to see flat spots
on painted surfaces of the stove. The flat spots on
the paint surface indicate the hotter surfaces of the
stove, and is caused by the heat radiating through the
paint. It is also expected that shiny spots caused by
friction from the packaging materials, will disappear
during the curing of the stove.
SO:
1. Remember to Ventilate well.
2. Allow the stove to cure before burning for long
periods at high temperatures.
3. Flat spots on the painted surfaces are normal.
4. Shiny spots on the paint surface before burning is nomal.
5. Call your dealer if you have any questions.
BUILDING A FIRE
1. Open inlet air control fully.
2. Place a small amount of crumpled paper in the stove.
3. Cover the paper with a generous amount of kindling in
a teepee fashion and a few small pieces of wood.
4. Ignite the paper and close door. If fire dies down
substantially, open door slightly.
5. Using the lincoln log method, add larger pieces of wood
as the fire progresses being careful not to overload.
Do not fill firebox beyond firebrick area. An ideal coal
bed of 1" to 2" should be established to achieve
optimum performance.
6. This unit is designed to function most effectively when
air is allowed to circulate to all areas of the firebox.
An ideal means of achieving this is to rake a slight (1"
to 2" wide) trough in the centre of the coal bed from
front to back prior to loading the fuel.
7. Once fuel has been loaded, close door and open air
inlet control fully until fire is well established (approx.
10 minutes) being careful not to overfire.
8. Readjust air inlet control to desired burn rate. If
excessive smoke fills firebox, open air inlet control
slightly until flames resume and wood is sufficiently
ignited. While a basic rule of thumb is "closed-low",
1"/2 way-medium" and "fully open-high", refer to the
Inlet Air Control Settings chart.

9. When refuelling, adjust air control to the fully open
position. When fire brightens, slowly and carefully
open the door. This procedure will prevent gases
from igniting causing smoke and flame spillage.
10. Add fuel being careful not to overload.
11. Do not build fire close to glass. May result in glass
breakage.
