F1 Fuel Selection
For optimal wood burning, use firewood with a moisture content of less than 20%.
F2 Starting the Fire
If you are starting your fire for the purpose of cooking, then please proceed to section “G Cooking
Guide” on page 17.
To start the fire, stack kindling so that it leans against the back panels, allowing sucient airflow
between pieces. The use of fire-starters is recommended. Continue adding kindling until you have
established an ember bed across the entire width of the fire. Use the provided fire poker to arrange the
embers across the fire bed.
Note: Expansion/contraction noises during heating up and cooling down cycles are normal and to be
expected.
F3 Loading the Fire
Once an ember bed has been established, continue loading larger pieces of firewood onto the fire until
the desired temperature or look has been reached. Ensure that all pieces of firewood do not protrude
past the bottom stainless steel bar on the fireplace.
Do not load wood higher than 1/3 (33%) of the height of the firebox.
F4 Extinguishing the Fire
Once you have finished with burning the fire, remove all embers and remaining wood pieces from the
fire and place them in a fireproof pail. Soak them well. Store them for a minimum of 5 days prior to
disposing of them safely.
Supervise the fire until all logs and embers have been removed.
Note: The firebox will remain warm for several hours after the embers have been removed. Use caution when
touching any parts of the firebox (i.e. the bricks, pivot drawer, or back panels) and supervise small children
until the firebox has cooled completely.
