OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Important note: Do not keep the door open while the fireplace is lit.
WOOD
The fireplace is designed to burn good quality dry cordwood. The optimum log length is 18 in. and preferably split in
halves or quarters. Cordwood should be split and left to dry for one year prior to use.
Use only good quality dry cordwood. DO NOT burn coal, construction lumber, plastics, garbage or other foreign materials
in your fireplace.
WARNING: Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal, lighter fluid, or similar fluids to start
or re-ignite a fire in the fireplace. Keep all such liquids far away from the fireplace while it is in use.
CREOSOTE FORMATION AND THE NEED FOR REMOVAL
When wood is being burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors when combined with expelled moisture form
creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow burning fire. As a result, creosote
residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire.
The chimney should be inspected periodically during the heating season to determine if creosote build-up has occurred. If a
significant layer of creosote has accumulated (1/8" or more) it must be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
TO SWEEP THE CHIMNEY
1. Open the fireplace door.
2. Push the chimney sweep cap upwards and place it on the side.
The chimney sweep cap is located on top of the two stainless
steel combustion pipes.
3. Close the fireplace door.
4. Sweep the chimney.
5. Open the door of the fireplace and empty out all the residues.
6. Place back the chimney sweep cap.
Note: The chimney sweep cap is sealed with silicon for transport. After
the first fire, the silicon will burn and you will be able to move the cap.
COMBUSTION CONTROL
The burn rate and the heat output are related to the amount
of combustion air. The control handle rotates from the right
(maximum) to the left (minimum) position (Figure 15). It
can also be pushed inwards to allow additional air in for
start-up or when a new charge of wood is being loaded.
OPERATION OF THE COMBUSTION AIR
CONTROL MECHANISM
When starting the fire or when adding a new charge of
wood, the fireplace needs additional air in order to establish
a good fire. When the wood starts to burn properly, the
amount of air can be reduced depending on the heating
requirements.
The control mechanism provides automatic means to
gradually reduce the combustion air to the preset amount.
The preset amount will be established by the operator,
depending on his heating requirements, the type and
condition of the wood being used.
