Closing the draft control down too soon will lower combustion efficiency, and may result in

creosote build-up in the chimney (which could lead to a future chimney fire).

CAUTION: THE ADJUSTMENT RANGE SHOULD NOT BE ALTERED FOR INCREASED FIRING FOR ANY REASON.

3.5 MAINTAINING THE FIRE

Once the wood has been consumed (or partially consumed) and you have obtained a good bed of

embers, you should reload the unit. In order to do so, open the air control to its maximum for

approximately 15 seconds prior to opening the stove door. Then, proceed by opening the door very

slowly. Open it by 2” to 4” (52 to 104 mm) for 10 to 15 seconds before opening it completely. This

procedure will increase the draft and thus eliminate the smoke which is stagnant in a state of slow

combustion in the stove. Then, bring the red embers to the front of the stove and reload the unit.

Depending on the type of wood you burn and the strength of the draft in your flue, you may

have to leave the air control open to its maximum for more than 15 seconds to avoid smoke

spillage before you reload the stove.

Your E.P.A Enerzone stove will work best if a thick bed of hot embers is maintained in the bottom of

the firebox, and a minimum of two large pieces of seasoned fuel are added. Combustion efficiency is

largely related to establishing a hot ember bed, and hot firebox temperatures. The quicker the stove

and chimney (flue) get up to normal operating temperatures, the better. A small intense fire is

preferred to a large smouldering fire, both to improve combustion efficiency and to reduce the

amount of creosote build-up. The best performance will be obtained by adding relatively small

amounts of fuel to a well established ember bed, and then operating with the air inlet control open
