How to Test Your Wood

Add a large piece of wood to the stove when it has a good large bed of coals. It is dry if it

is burning on more than one side within one minute. It is damp if it turns black and lights

within three minutes. If it sizzles, hisses and blackens without igniting in  ve minutes it is

soaked and should not be burnt.

Lighting for the First Time

Curing of the Paint Finish

To achieve the best  nish, the paint on your stove must be baked on. When burning your

stove for the  rst 2-3 times it is very important that the room be well ventilated. Open all

windows and doors. Smoke and fumes caused by the curing process may cause discomfort

to some individuals.

Lighting a Fire

WARNING: Never use chemicals or any other volatile liquid to start a  re.

1. Adjust air control to maximum  ring position (start position) and open door.

2. Place crumpled newspaper in the centre of the heater and criss-cross with several pieces

of dry kindling. Add a few small pieces of dry wood on top.

3. Ignite the paper and close the door.

4. After the  re has established itself, open the door and add a few small logs. Close the

door.

5. Begin normal operation after a good coal base exists and wood has charred.

Normal Operation

1. Set air control to a desired setting. If smoke pours down across the glass (waterfall

effect) this indicates you have shut the control down too soon or you are using too low

a setting. As every home's heating needs vary (based on insulation, windows, climate,

etc.) the proper setting can only be found by trial and error and should be noted for future

burns.

2. To refuel, adjust air control to high, and give the  re time to brighten. Open the door

slowly, this will prevent backpuffing.

3. Use wood of different shape, diameter and length (up to 457mm). Load your wood and

try to place the logs so that the air can  ow between them. Always use dry wood.

4. Do not load fuel to a height or in such a manner that would be hazardous when opening

the door.

5. For extended or overnight burns, unsplit logs are preferred. Remember to char the wood

completely on maximum setting before adjusting air control for overnight burn.

WARNING: Always keep loading door closed when burning. This heater is not designed

for open door burning.

WARNING: No alteration or modi cation of the combustion air control assembly is

permitted. Any tampering will void warranty and could be very hazardous.
