FUELS
Do not burn garbage or flammable fluids. Do not burn tires or treated wood or wood with heavy creosote
in it. Store wood in dry, well-ventilated area.
Round un-split blocks work best
LIGHTING
1. Open the feed door and place paper and kindling on the back of fire box.
2. Light fire, close and secure the feed door. A small amount of charcoal starter will help.
3. Add wood after fire is burning briskly. Use care not to smother the kindling fire when adding
wood.
ADDING FUEL
Push coals to back before putting fuel in.
Try to let fire burn down before refilling, to prevent too much smoke escaping from the door.
When adding fuel put logs in crosswise, place logs on door frame and roll into the fire box. Do not put logs
into firebox that are longer than the door opening. Do not put logs in end first; it can damage the refrac-
tory.
Add fresh kindling if the bed of coals are gone. Normally you can just stir the coals and put the wood in.
Empty ash regularly. Do not allow ashes to pile up over the draft holes. If ashes build above the draft
holes it will restrict the air flow and cause a dirty burn.
OPERATING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Never over-fire. If boiler stovepipe begins to glow or turn red, you are over firing the boiler.
3. HOT while in operation. Keep children, clothing, and furniture away. Contact may cause skin burns.
Do not touch the boiler after firing until it has cooled.
4. Provide make-up air into the room for proper combustion.
