OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS — ALL MODELS
BASIC INFORMATION
DOOR HANDLE
Front mounted handles. Swing the door open and shut with the handle in the 12 o’clock position.
Latch the door shut by pushing in on the handle and turning it to the 3 o’clock position.
Side mounted handles. The door is opened by pulling forward on the lower part of the handle. Hold
the handle in this forward position when shutting the door, finally pushing it back to vertical to lock
the door.
HEAT OUTPUT CONTROL
This control has a sliding action. It is clearly marked with a wedge shaped symbol. Slide the control in
the direction of the wide end of the wedge to increase the heat output and toward the narrow end to
decrease it. A high fire can be shut down rapidly only by starving it of air, and this will result in
undesirable emissions. For this reason, Masport woodfires are designed to settle down to lower heat
outputs comparatively slowly.
OVERNIGHT BURNING
Old-fashioned stove designs attempted to achieve long burn times by starving the fuel of air, thus
creating over-rich fuel/air mixtures and emitting pollutants. Modern designs avoid pollution by
eliminating air starvation. This might seem to rule out overnight burning, but this is not so provided
that a suitable fuel is used. Hardwood fuels give longer low-burn times than softwoods, while thicker
pieces of fuel burn longer than thin ones.
FAN OPERATION
The LE 7000 Provincial should not be operated on maximum heat with very dry softwood unless the
fan is operating. Using the fan, except when the fire is set on LOW, will improve the heating
efficiency and distribution of warm air in the room. Usually a medium fan speed setting will be
adequate.
ESSENTIAL ADVICE
• Correct installation, the use of only DRY wood and adherence to the following instructions will
ensure satisfactory performance.
WARNING: MAKE SURE THE MINIMUM HEATER-TO-WALL DISTANCES SHOWN
ON PAGES 4 AND 5 ARE ALWAYS MAINTAINED BETWEEN THE HEATER AND ANY
HEAT SENSITIVE ITEMS. ( FURNITURE, DRAPES, ETC.)
WARNING: DO NOT STORE FUEL WITHIN THE HEATER INSTALLATION
CLEARANCES.
