9. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE READ THIS BOOK FULLY AND KEEP IN A SAFE PLACE.
This appliance has TWO air controls:
1. MAIN AIR CONTROL - Located at the top right side of the door the Main
Air control controls the running temperature of the fire during normal use.
Adjusting the Main Air Control knob in small increments will determine
the level of heat output the operator is comfortable with.
2. AIR BOOSTER - Located front and centre of the fire under the granite
ash lip the Air Booster provides quick and efficient ignition and
combustion at the start of the fire process and at reloading.
FIRST BURN
On the INITIAL LIGHTING only, the high temperature paint finishes used on
your heater will give off smoke and odour for several hours. As this is a
temporary condition, open doors, windows, etc. to give adequate ventilation
until passed.
1. Pull Main Air Control knob out fully for high (this is the small knob to the
right of the door) AIR CONTROL KNOB OUT = HIGH. AIR CONTROL KNOB IN
= LOW
Fully open the Booster Air Supply located front and centre of the fire under the
granite ash lip. Slide to the LEFT = OPEN slide to the RIGHT = CLOSED
2. Prepare fire by placing crumpled paper in middle of firebox. Do not use a
grate, or elevate fire. Build fire directly on floor of firebox.
3. Arrange dry kindling in “tepee” style with larger pieces standing up on each
side. Ignite paper leaving door ajar until kindling is alight.
4. A vigorous fire is required; reload with larger wood when vigorous flaming of
the kindling is achieved and embers begin to appear. Load the larger logs
length ways front of fire to back of fire.
5. Open door carefully and place small pieces, then larger logs on top always
maintaining a vigorous fire. Do not overload and smother the flames.
6. Close the door and leave Main Air and Booster Air controls on ‘HIGH’ until
the fire is burning well and a good ember bed has formed.
7. When a good fire is established close the Booster Air Control. Then
adjust the Main Air control to a position that suits the operator’s comfort, adjust
the Main Air Control in small increments to reach the desirable temperature.
DO NOT IMMEDIATELY SHUT THE HEATER TO ‘LO’. Remember to close
the air control gradually to your desired level of heat output. It is better to take
3-4 adjustments to get to the low setting (extended burn).
Always ensure a good burn is established otherwise the fire will smoulder
and smoke will build up which could result in a flash back or back fire
where the smokes ignites.
