C) Position the view screen assembly through the view
door opening with rounded bar facing up. Hang
rounded bar on J bolts at top inside front of stove,
center in view door opening with bottom frame
resting inside of groove in front brick. Note: this is
installed at factory.
D) Checking the Grate System - Open ash door, slide
out ash pan. The grate system should now be
visible. This system has the following parts:
1) Grate Frame
2) Round Grate
3) Dump Grate
The dump grate can only move in and out with the
ash door open. The dump grate should be used only
to clean out stove.
To do this:
1) open ash door
2) slip dump grate out
3) reassemble grate when cleaning is complete
This allows the coal to dump.
Note: Be sure to install the dump grate so the “top”
is up.
STEP 5 Lighting and operating
Note: Before burning your stove we suggest you allow
time to “season” your stove. Use the following procedure:
• burn a small fie for one day
• slowly increase the fire over the next 3-4 days
This procedure will allow your firebrick and grate to
“cure” prolonging their durability.
Starting a Fire
A) Locate the Shaker Handle - Open the top door and
load door. Make a “wad” from several pieces of
newspaper, insert through the load door and place
on the grate. Cover the paper with small pieces of
kindling wood (approx. 4" - 6" long) cover with
some larger pieces of kindling wood.
B) Loosen the Brass Draft Knob on the ash door, slide
knob to the right until wide open. Note: If you
have optional bimetal damper, be sure it is closed.
C) Start the fire by lighting the newspaper and close
the load door. This will allow your stove to draft.
D) It may be necessary to add more wood. When a
good burning base is established add about 1" of
coal.
E) Allow coal to burn until it has a “red glow” - add 2"
- 3" of coal at this time. Coal is then added as
needed. Adjust draft control to regulate your fire.
Warning: Stove body and handles will get hot.
Wear protective gloves when opening doors or
adjusting draft controls.
