the heating appliance to avoid false alarms. Detectors
should be located close to sleeping areas. Follow
the smoke detectors manufacturer’s placement and
installation instructions. Maintain smoke detector per
manufacturer’s instructions.
33. CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) HAZARD. A buildup of
CO fumes is toxic and can be fatal. Carbon Monoxide
is a colorless, odorless gas produced during combus-
tion of wood, coal, oil, gas and by other fuel burning
appliances. It is important to have a proper draft and
adequate replacement air ventilation so fumes are
drawn out the chimney. Installed as instructed this
stove is designed to be as safe as possible yet it is
recommended to install a CO detector. Follow the
manufacturer’s recommendations for proper instal-
lation and use. It is recommended to be placed at
table-top level (not near the ceiling) to avoid false
alarms. Realize that devices other than a stove (i.e.
motor exhaust) can trigger CO alarms.

MASONRY CHIMNEY
The chimney must be a code-approved, masonry
chimney with ƀWG liner. Before using an existing ma-
sonry chimney, clean the chimney, inspect the ƀue
liner and make any repairs needed to be sure it is safe
to use. Make repairs before attaching the stove. The
connector stove pipe and ſVVKPIU you will need to con-
ninwohserayenmihcyrnosamdenilaotyltceridtcen
ſIWTG.
The stove must be connected to either a lined ma-
sonry or manufactured metal chimney built and tested
VQVJGURGEKſECVKQPUNKUVGFQPVJGRTevious pages.
Chimneys perform two functions:
. As a means of exhausting smoke and
ƀWG gases which are the result of fuel com-
bustion.
. The chimney (onlyprovides “draft” which allows
oxygen to be continuously introduced into the
appliance, so that proper combustion is
possible. This ottfardlarutannoseilerevots
operate.
NOTICE: Always provide a source of fresh air into
the room where the stove is located. Failure to do
so may result in air starvation of other fuel burn-
ing appliances and the possible development of
hazardous conditions.
A stove DOES NOT create draft. Draft is provided
by the chimney. To achieve proper draft your chimney
must meet the four minimum height requirements
detailed in ſIWTGU Ō.If these minimum require-
ments are not met your stove will not operate
properly. A minimum of  w.c. (measured in water
EQNWOP is required for proper drafting to prevent back
RWHſPI smoke spillage, and to maximize performance.
(Gauges to measure draft are readily available at stove
stores and are economical to rent or purchase
Factors such as wind, barometric pressure, trees,
terrain and chimney temperature can have an adverse
effect on the draft. The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for external factors leading to less than
optimal drafting.
Should you have a problem with inadequate draft,
you should contact a licensed heating and cooling con-
tractor for assistance in solving the problem.

THIS STOVE IS DESIGNED TO BURN
WOOD FUEL ONLY!
Hardwood, Ŋ to Ŋ / 45cm to 50cm should be
air dried (seasoned), for a minimum of 6 months. Logs
grater than 6Ŋ/152mm in diameter should be split.Wood
should be stored in a dry, well ventilated area. The
humidity content for usable ſTewood must be less than
20% of the weight of the log.
Attempts to use wet or unseasoned wood will
cause:
- ignition problems
- rapid creosote build-up resulting in chimne[ſTG
- incomplete combustion
- low heat yield
- blackened windows
NOTICE: USE SOLIDWOOD MATERIALS ONLY.
DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE
FLUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA OR
ENGINE OIL. DO NOT USE COAL. THIS STOVE

OPTIMAL FUEL CONSUMPTION
This stove is designed to get the most efſcient
transfer of heat energy from the wood fuel and radiate
it into your living environment. The ſTG box introduces
combustion air through four sources. (1) Immediately
beneath the door opening below the window is a Lower
Primary Air Oriſce (LPAO). (2) The primary air inlet
control (center control lever) brings air into the ſTGDox
and controls the rate of burn (and the amount of heat
the stove radiates). (3) The high burn duct control (right
control lever) provides additional air for maximum burn
rate.(4) The secondary air tubes at the top of the ſrebox
are designed to ignite the combustion gases (smoke)
given off by the burning wood and increases the ef-
ſEKGPE[QHVJGUVove and reduces chimney emissions.
Smoke given off by burning fuel consists of very
small organic liquid droplets. If these droplets condense,
they form a sticky tar-like substance called creosote.
When operated properly, this stove is designed to burn
these droplets. Burning these droplets releases heat
that would otherwise be lost up the chimney as smoke.
Following the instructions below will help you operate
your stove properly to maximize the stove’s perfor-
mance. Actual performance is dependent on chimney

height, weather, log size, wood species and moisture
content. Some experimentation will initially be required
to ſnd that “sweet spot” where your stove performs best.
The following will give you a starting point to ſPF your
optimum settings.
When ſrst loading fuel set the primary air inlet con-
trol (center) at the wide open (Pull out) position for at
least 15–20 minutes (the high burn duct control should
be closed – pulled out – when starting ſTGU. When the
stove is working properly you should be able to observe
secondary combustion ƀCOGU above the fuel pieces in
front of the secondary air tubes at the top of the ſrebox.
These secondary ƀCOGU should continue to burn after
the primary air inlet is reset from wide open to the de-
sired operating setting. If the ƀCOGU do not continue to
burn, open the air control to re-establish the secondary
ƀCOGU then slowly reset the air control to the desired
setting. Initially it may take several attempts to ſIWTG
your stove out. But once you ſPF the operating “sweet
spot” and the correct mix of procedures to get there,
only minor adjustments will be necessary.
The best indicator of a properly operating stove is
to look for smoke coming out of the chimney. You may
see steam emissions that will quickly dissipate. Smoke
will thin but continue to drift without totally disappearing.
If you do detect smoke emissions, open the air control
a little bit, let the stove adjust for 10–15 minutes and
re-check your chimney. Remember – visible smoke
represents lost heat.
NOTICE - INITIAL BURNS TO CURE PAINT
BECAUSE OF THE HIGH OPERATING
TEMPERATURES, THIS STOVE USES
A SPECIAL HIGH-TEMP PAINT WHICH
REQUIRES A SERIES OF BURNS TO
CURE THE PAINT FOR DURABILITY AND
A LIFETIME OF SERVICE.
Proper curing of the high-temp paint
requires a series of three initial burns. The stove
should be allowed to cool off between each burn.
The first two burns should be small fires and low
temperatures (250°F/120°C) for a duration of
20 minutes each. The third fire should be at a
medium-high temperature (500 to 700°F/260 to 370°C)
for twenty minutes. Provide adequate cross ventilation
to clear any smoke or odor caused b[KPKVKCNſrings.
STARTING A FIRE
1. Set Primary Air Inlet Control Lever (round ball
control located under the center of the ash lip)
to thefully open position(pull control out towards
you).
NOTE: OPEN/HIGH=OUT; CLOSED/LOW=IN.
2. Open the feed door and place several wads of
crWUJGFRCRGTKPVJGſTGDox.
3. Cover the paper with a generous amount of kindling
in a teepee fashion and a few small pieces of wood.
4. Ignite the paper and leave the door open slightly.
DO NOT LEAVE STOVE UNATTENDED WITH
DOOR OPEN! Except while tending the ſre,
operating the stove with the feed door open or
ash clean out cover removed may cause over
ſTKPI resulting in unsafe operating conditions.
5. Add large pieces of wood as the ſTG progresses
being careful not to overload. (Do not ſNN ſTGDox
beyond ſTGDrick area.) An ideal coal bed of Ŋ –Ŋ
(25mm - 50mm) should be established to achieve
optimum performance.
6. This unit is designed to function most effectively
when air is allowed to circulate to all areas of the
ſTGDox. TIP: If ash or coals remain in the stove,
continued on next page
make sure to clear them away from the Lower
Primary Air OrKſEG (LPAO) and rake a slight Ŋ –
ŊOOOO wide) trough down the center of
the coal bed from front to back prior to loading the
fuel.

7. Once fuel has been loaded, close the door and
leave the air inlet control fully open until ſTG is well
established (at least 15–20 minutes) being careful
not to over ſTG (if any of the exterior parts of the
stove or chimney connections begin to glow you
are ovGTſring the stove).
8. Re-adjust the primary air inlet control to the desired
burn rate. For “high” setting pull the primary air con
-trol (center control) all the way out, for “low” push all
the way back. (If excessive smoke ſNNUVJGſTGDox,
open air inlet control slightly until ƀCOGU resume
and wood is UWHſEKGPVN[ ignited.) The basic rule of
thumb is “closed (push in) = low,” “half way open =
medium” and “fully open (pull out) = high.”
9. CAUTION: Always be sure to securely close the
front door when you are satisfied with the quality
of the fire burn. Firmly rotate door handle counter
clock-wise until the handle stops rotation. Never
leave stove unattended with door open!

CAUTION: DO NOT OVER FIRE APPLIANCE.
YOU ARE OVER FIRING IF THE CHIMNEY
CONNECTORS OR STOVE GLOWS RED. CLOSE
THE DOOR AND IMMEDIATELY SHUT ALL AIR
CONTROLS (PUSH IN) TO REDUCE THE AIR
SUPPLY AND SLOW DOWN THE FIRE.
CAUTION:SLOW BURNING FIRES AND EXTEND-
ED USE MAY CAUSE EXCESSIVE CREOSOTE
BUILDUP. IGNITION OF CREOSOTE OR OVER
FIRING MAY CAUSE A CHIMNEY FIRE. CHIMNEY
FIRES BURN EXTREMELY HOT AND MAY IGNITE
SURROUNDING MATERIALS. IN CASE OF A
CHIMNEY FIRE CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
IMMEDIATELY.
ADDING FUEL
If the coal bed is not hot and glowing, rake the coals
to the front of the stove, close the door and adjust the
primary air inlet control to the wide open position. Let
the coals re-heat for 10–15 minutes. When hot and
glowing, spread them out and place your next fuel load
into the stove (make sure no coals or ashes block the
LPAO). Leave the primary air inlet control in the wide
open (pulled out) position for 15–20 minutes.
Fuel load size can vary but should be kept ŌŊ
(25mm-50mm) below the secondary air tubes. Also
position the fuel to leave space so the air from the inlet
can work between the pieces of fuel. This reduces the
time it takes for new fuel to burn properly.
1. When refueling, increase the center primary air
control to the fully open (pulled out) position. When
ſTG brightens, slowly and carefully open the door.
This procedure will prevent unburned gases from
igniting causing smokGCPFƀCOGURKNNCIe.
2. When adding fuel be careful not to hit, bump or
damage the secondary air tubes at the top of the
ſTGDox.
3. Add fuel being careful not to overload or over ſTG
the stove.
4. When adding fuel be careful not to smother the ſre.
Do not build ſTGU against glass and make sure the
coal bed does not obstruct the air inlet. Do not load
fuel to a height or in such a manner that it creates
a hazard when opening the door.
5. Close the feed door and secure tightly.
6. Adjust the air inlet control as described above.
7. Empty ashes regularly. Do not allow ashes
to pile up (see Safety Instructions #14 no
page 2.)
8. Properly dispose of hot ashes (see Safety
Instructions, item #14 on page 2.)
9. Do not over ſre the stove (over ſring is when
any part of the stove exterior or chimney
connections glow).
CREOSOTE – FORMATION AND NEED FOR
REMOVAL
CAUTION: RISK OF FIRE When wood is burned
slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors,
which combine with expelled moisture to form
creosote.The creosote vapors condense in the
relatively cool chimney ƀWG of a slow-burning
ſTe. As a result, creosote residue accumulates
on the ƀWG lining. When ignited this creosote
makes an extremel[JQVſTe.
The chimney connector and chimney should
be inspected at least once every two months
during the heating season to determine if a
creosote buildup has occurred.
If creosote has accumulated (3mm or more)
it should be removed to reduce the risk of a
chimne[ſTe.
Failure to remove creosote may result in ignition
and may cause a house/building ſTe. Creosote may be
