LIGHTING and OPERATION
1. IMPORTANT! – NEVER OPERATE THIS WOODSTOVE WITHOUT THE SECONDARY AIR TIMER IN THE
LOCKED OPEN POSITION WHEN LIGHTING A FIRE OR RELOADING!
2. Set the PAC dial and the thermostat on HIGH to provide maximum draft.
3. Note that the Secondary Air Inlet is in the” LOCKED OPEN POSITION” on the left side of the stove. See Fig. 1A
and 1B.
4. Open loading door and lay fire, using ample kindling to ensure rapid ignition.
5. Prime chimney if necessary holding lighted newspaper up towards flue baffle. A CANDLE WORKS BEST AND
WILL NOT SMOKE UP THE ROOM IF THE COLD AIR BLOWS THE NEWSPAPER OUT.
6. Light fire and close loading door.
7. Wait 3 - 5 minutes then add seasoned firewood. (See section concerning Fuel).
8. Set the PAC dial to maintain desired temperature in room. Medium setting is normally satisfactory. Set high or
lower for desired temperature.
9. Once fire is established set the Burn Rate dial to the desired rate. This will maintain a steady temperature after the
thermostat closes.

Note: Even when timer door closes some secondary air can still enter stove
CAUTION: Do not operate this heater with the loading door open. Continuous operation with a door open will over heat
the unit. This heater is designed for Thermostatic and Burn Rate Dial operation.

The adjustment plate in the thermostat may be set to change the burn rate. Open to increase and close to decrease
burn rate. Leave adjustment for a few days after changing to see if burn rate is better for your situation. See diagram
on page 5.
REFUELING
CAUTION: Read the section on back-puffing before refueling heater.
The loading door should be closed at all times except when refueling. If the door is allowed to remain open, the
thermostat will not function, as it should. Before opening the loading door, make sure the thermostat is open. Allow the
fire to burn rather briskly for a few minutes. Then open the loading door slowly.
By allowing the fire to increase for a short period, a high draft condition has eliminated smoke in the firebox and the
temperature has been raised which prevents a back or down draft.
After refueling, run the dial on High and thermostat on open for 10 to 30 minutes to insure the secondaries ignite and
stay lit when the air controls are adjusted to the desired settings. Keeping the secondaries lit is important for two
reasons:
1. More heat is obtained from the wood
2. Smoke is particulate matter which is air pollution
