THIS STOVE IS DESIGNED TO

BURN WOOD FUEL ONLY!

THIS STOVE IS DESIGNED TO BURN

WOOD FUEL ONLY!

Hardwood, 18”/46cm to 26”/66cm must be air dried

(seasoned) for a minimum of 6 months. Logs greater

than 6”/152mm in diameter should be split. Wood should

be stored in a dry, well ventilated area. The humidity

content for usable ﬁrewood must be less than 20% of

the weight of the log.

Attempts to use wet or unseasoned wood will

cause:

- ignition problems

- rapid creosote build-up resulting in chimney ﬁre

- incomplete combustion

- low heat yield

- blackened glass

NOTICE: USE SOLID WOOD MATERIALS ONLY.

DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE

FLUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA OR

ENGINE OIL. DO NOT USE COAL. THIS STOVE

IS NOT DESIGNED TO ACCOMMODATE THE AIR

FLOW (DRAFT) NECESSARY TO PROPERLY

BURN COAL OR COAL PRODUCTS. DO NOT

ELEVATE FIRE OR USE GRATES OR AND-

IRONS. BUILD FIRE DIRECTLY ON BOTTOM

OF FIREBOX.

OPTIMAL FUEL CONSUMPTION

This stove is designed to get the most efﬁcient

transfer of heat energy from the wood fuel and radiate

it into your living environment. The ﬁre box introduces

combustion air through three sources. (1) Immediately

beneath the door opening below the window is a Lower

Primary Air Oriﬁce (LPAO). (2) The door air inlet con-

trol brings air into the ﬁrebox and controls the rate of

burn (and the amount of heat the stove radiates). (3)

The secondary air tubes at the top of the ﬁrebox are

designed to ignite the combustion gases (smoke) given

off by the burning wood and increases the efﬁciency of

the stove and reduces chimney emissions.

Smoke given off by burning fuel consists of very

small organic liquid droplets. If these droplets condense,

they form a sticky tar-like substance called creosote.

When operated properly, this stove is designed to burn

these droplets. Burning these droplets releases heat

that would otherwise be lost up the chimney as smoke.

Following the instructions below will help you operate

your stove properly to maximize the stove’s perfor-

mance. Actual performance is dependent on chimney

OPERATING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. NEVER OVERFIRE THIS STOVE BY BUILD-

ING EXCESSIVELY HOT FIRES AS A HOUSE/

BUILDING FIRE MAY RESULT. YOU ARE OVER-

FIRING THE STOVE IF UNIT OR STOVEPIPE

BEGINS TO GLOW OR TURN RED.

2. NEVER BUILD EXTREMELY LARGE FIRES

IN THIS TYPE OF STOVE AS DAMAGE TO THE

STOVE OR SMOKE LEAKAGE MAY RESULT

3. DO NOT BUILD FIRE TOO CLOSE TO

GLASS.

4. UNIT IS HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. KEEP

CHILDREN, CLOTHING, AND FURNITURE

AWAY. CONTACT MAY CAUSE SKIN BURNS. DO

NOT TOUCH THE STOVE AFTER FIRING UNTIL

IT HAS COOLED.

5. PROVIDE AIR INTO THE ROOM FOR PROP-

ER COMBUSTION.

6. INSPECT STOVEPIPE EVERY 60 DAYS.

REPLACE IMMEDIATELY IF STOVEPIPE IS

RUSTING OR LEAKING SMOKE INTO THE

ROOM.
