To Burn As A
Fireplace Stove
Once you have prepared and maintained a thick
charcoal bed, you should be able to reload the stove,
allow some burning at the maximum air setting, and
reset the air control in a few minutes.
Select hardwoods if possible, as they are heavier
and contain more heating capacity (BTU’s) per load
than do softwoods. Wood should be split and stored
under cover for “seasoning” - a year is recommended.
Your stove is not an incinerator - do not burn garbage,
painted or treated wood, plastic, or other debris.
Keep the area around the stove free from clutter.
Keep all combustibles, including fuel, beyond the code-
required clearance distance (48" or 1215 mm in the
U.S., 1525 mm or 60" in Canada). Never store fuel
in front of the stove where it could interfere with door
operation, safe loading, and ash removal.
Blower. To regulate the speed of the optional
convection blower, adjust the control from low to high
by turning the knob located on the blower cord.
Always wear gloves to remove the ash pan. Lift the
latch on the ash door and open. Pull the ash pan out by
the handle. Lift the handle to the vertical position to carry
the ashes to a disposal location. Close the ash door
while you are disposing of the ashes. The re will get
very hot if the bottom door is left open even for a short
period. Replace the ash pan. Remove ashes from the
re chamber periodically by shaking the grates. Wood
burns best with an ash bed under the wood; therefore,
do not shake all of the ashes down. Never let the ashes
build up to over 3" in depth. Excessive ash buildup can
prevent proper venting of exhaust gases. Also do not
overll the ash pan. Ash buildup between the ash pan
and the grates can cause them to overheat and wear
out prematurely.
The TLC 2000 is tested and approved to be burned
with the front load door open. In this mode of operation
you get a true re sound as well as appearance. Due
to the crackling and popping of burning wood it is
necessary to place the optional screen over the door
opening. This prevents sparks from entering the room
just like a screen over a replace.
The clean-out plate (see above) should be removed
to burn as a replace. This is done by lifting up on the
tab on the front of the plate.
To install the screen, open the glass door and place
the screen over the door opening. Push on the screen
until the two spring clips snap into place. To remove the
screen, pull on the handle.
