VISION SUPREME FIREPLACES

2.OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: READ THE OWNER’S MANUAL CAREFULLY. Read the following brief instructions before using
your woodstove.
The Vision is not intended to serve as a primary source of heat. A primary source of heat must be available in the home that
the Vision is installed in. Supreme is not responsible for heating costs related to other sources of heat.
2.1 Fuel
The Vision is designed to burn dry, natural, seasoned wood having a moisture content below 20%. The optimum log length
is 16-18 inches, preferably split in halves or quarters and left to dry under a cover or away from the elements for a minimum
of one year prior to use.
Use good quality dry cordwood only. DO NOT burn coal, construction lumber, plastics, garbage or other foreign materials
in your woodstove. Gas logs cannot be used with the Vision. Use solid wood fuel only.
Do not over fire the Vision. Over firing will damage the woodstove, is hazardous and will void the warranty.
Do not burn paper, newspaper, cardboard, pine tree branches or construction materials.
WARNING: Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start
or “freshen up” a fire in this woodstove. Keep all such liquids well away from the woodstove while it is in use.
Ecological or compressed logs containing chemical additives are not tested and approved to be used with the Vision. Using
them will overheat and damage the woodstove and void the warranty. Ecological or compressed logs that are 100% wood
and contain no other additives can be safely used in the Vision. Never use more than three of these logs at a time. Using
more is not only dangerous, but will damage the woodstove and void the warranty. Follow the ecological log
manufacturer’s safety guidelines and recommendations and be sure that they are intended for use in woodstoves. Reload
only once the previous load of wood has been consumed and only a small flame remains.
WARNING: Do not keep the door open while the woodstove is lit.
2.2 First Fires
Due to oil residues and the curing of the paint of the woodstove, an odor can be smelled during the first 2 to 3 fires of the
Vision. Open a window or a door near the woodstove to ventilate the house during the first fire.
2.3 The Combustion Air Control
The burn rate and the heat output are related to the amount of
combustion air. The combustion air control of the Vision has two
components: the Easy-Light and the Burn Rate Selector (see figure 1).
2.3.1 Operating the Combustion Air Control
When starting the fire or when adding a new charge of wood, the
woodstove 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 left combustion control lever is the Easy-Light mechanism (see figure 1). When starting a fire or adding a new load of
wood, the Easy-Light must be pushed in to allow a primary source of air to enter the firebox.
The right combustion control lever is the Burn Rate Selector (see figure 1). The Burn Rate Selector can slide sideways to
achieve different burn rates. When the Burn Rate Selector is positioned to the left, a maximum burn rate is achieved and
when it is positioned to the right, a minimum burn rate is set.
