OPERATION:
Before building a fire in your new Firelight CB, please
read the following section carefully and completely.
Do Not Burn
This stove is designed to burn natural wood ONLY. Wood
that has been air-dried for a period of 6 to 14 months will
provide the cleanest most efficient heat.
Do not burn:
*Coal *Treated or painted wood
*Garbage *Chemical Chimney cleaners
*Cardboard *Colored paper
*Solvents *Any synthetic fuel or logs
The burning of any of these materials can result in the
release of toxic fumes. Never use gasoline, gasoline-
type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar
liquids to start or freshen-up the fire. Always keep
such liquids away from the heater at all times.
Controls on the Firelight CB
A single air control lever controls the burn time and
heat output of the stove. This primary air control lever
is located on the front of the stove directly above the
ashlip. The primary air lever controls the amount of air
that enters the stove for combustion.
When first starting or reviving the fire: the primary
control lever should be at the far right position, which
allows the maximum amount of air into the stove. The
more air entering the stove, the hotter the fire, the shorter
the burn time. Moving the lever to the left reduces the
air-flow into the stove which prolongs the fire at a lower
heat output. See figure 11.
Breaking in your new stove
Your new Firelight CB is constructed of cast iron and
stove furnace cement. This type of construction requires
the stove to be broken-in gradually so that heat
expansion does not occur too quickly and cause damage.
Complete the following steps for the proper break-in
procedure for the Firelight:
To monitor the stoves temperature, Jøtul recommends
the use of a magnetic stove-top thermometer,
placed
directly on the corner of the stoves top plate.
1. Light a small fire, newspaper and kindling only,
only allow the stove to reach a maximum surface
temperature of 200°. Burn for approximately1 hour.
2. Allow stove to cool to room temperature.
3. Light a second fire, allowing the stove to reach a
maximum temperature of 300° for 1 hour.
4. Cool the stove to room temperature.
5. Light a third fire and gradually allow the stove to
reach a surface temperature of 400°
6. Cool stove to room temperature. This completes
the break-in procedure.
Never allow the stove to exceed a 400° surface
temperature during any break-in fire with the exception
of the last break-in fire.
Note: IT IS NORMAL for a new painted stove to emit
an odor and even smoke during its first several fires. This
is caused by the seasoning of the high temperature paint
and will diminish with each fire and will eventually
disappear. Opening a window or door to provide additional
ventilation will reduce the odor as this process takes its
course.

IMPORTANT
NEVER BUILD OR ALLOW THE FIRE TO REST DIRECTLY
ON
THE GLASS. THE LOGS SHOULD ALWAYS BE SPACED
AT
LEAST ONE INCH FROM THE GLASS TO ALLOW FOR
PROPER
AIR FLOW WITHIN THE STOVE.
Starting and Maintaining a Fire
REMEMBER:
B
URN ONLY SOLID WOOD DIRECTLY ON THE BOTTOM GRATE OF
THE
STOVE, DO NOT ELEVATE THE FIRE IN ANY WAY .
THE ASH PA N DOOR ON THE STOVE MUST ALWAYS BE
SECURELY
CLOSED WHEN THE STOVE IS IN OPERATION.
BURNING THE STOVE WITH THE ASH PA N DOOR OPEN WILL
OVER
-FIRE THE STOVE AND CAUSE INTERIOR DAMAGE.
