Safety and Maintenance 1. Burn only dry, well seasoned wood. The denser or heavier the wood when dry, the greater its heat value. This is why hardwoods are generally preferred. Green or wet wood will cause a rapid buildup of creosote. If you feel it is necessary to burn wet or unseasoned wood, do so only with the air inlet set open enough to maintain a good strong fire and fairly high chimney temperatures. Do not attempt to burn overnight using green wood or wet wood.
Maintenance Checks Check the following parts for damage such as cracks, excessive corrosion, burned out sections and excessive warping: (See website for descriptions and more detail) Weekly: - Firebrick - Visual, for cracking. - Door Gasket - sagging, placement, damage. Monthly - Brick rail tabs and brick rails. - Air riser tube in the back of the firebox. - Back side of airwash chamber. - Baffle locking pin. - Boost tube cover. When Cleaning the Chimney System: - Top baffle board/blanket. - Baffle.
Creosote Formation and Need for Removal When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapours, which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapours 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.
If You Suspect a Chimney Fire Signs of a chimney fire may be one or more of the following: 1. A roaring sound 2. Vibration of the chimney 3. Flames and sparks shooting out of the top of the chimney In Case of a Chimney Fire 1. Immediately close the air inlets on the stove. 2. Evacuate the home, and call the local fire department. 3. After the chimney fire has been extinguished, the chimney must be cleaned and checkedfor stress and cracking before starting another fire.
Installation Warning: Under no circumstances is this heater to be installed in a makeshift or "temporary" manner. It may be fired only after the stove is installed properly. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CONNECT THIS HEATER TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT. Outside combustion air or fresh air into the room may be required in your area, consult local building codes (see Combustion Air section).

Chimney and Connector WARNING: INSTALL CHIMNEY AND ALL COMPONENTS OF CHIMNEY SYSTEM ACCORDING TO CHIMNEY MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS. Connect to a listed chimney complying with the requirements of AS/NZS2918/2001 and a chimney suitable for use with solid fuel that is lined and in good condition and meets local building codes. The chimney flue size should be the same as the stove outlet for optimal performance. Reducing or increasing the flue size may adversely affect stove performance.
Firebrick Installation This package contains 12 full-size firebricks, as well as 2 various cut bricks. With the heater in the upright position, install firebricks as follows: 1. Install 4 full-size firebricks against the rear wall. 2. Install the side firebricks, 2 full-size each side. 3. Place 3 full-size and 2 cut bricks on the bottom of the heater. ITEM A B C .

Combustion Air Intake or combustion air can be supplied to the stove in one of two ways. Consult your local building codes before proceeding. 1. Outside air supply - (Necessary for mobile home installation, optional for residential installation.) To draw outside air through the floor, cut or drill a 102mm diameter hole directly below the bottom hole of the ash box enclosure(see page 6 Fig. #1a). Connect enclosure to the floor with a short 102mm diameter pipe.
Operation CAUTION: Never use gasoline, gasoline type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid or similar liquids to start or "freshen up" a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use. CAUTION: Hot while in operation. Keep children, clothing and furniture away. Contact may cause skin burns. WARNING: DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OR AEROSOLS TO START OR REKINDLE THE FIRE.
How to Test Your Wood Add a large piece of wood to the stove when it has a good large bed of coals. It is dry if it is burning on more than one side within one minute. It is damp if it turns black and lights within three minutes. If it sizzles, hisses and blackens without igniting in five minutes it is soaked and should not be burnt. Lighting for the First Time Curing of the Paint Finish To achieve the best finish, the paint on your stove must be baked on.
Restarting After Extended or Overnight Burns 1. Open door and rake hot embers towards the front of the heater. Add a couple of dry, split logs on top of embers, close door. 2. Adjust air control to high (left position) and in just a few minutes, logs should begin burning. 3. After wood has charred, reset air control to desired setting. 4. To achieve maximum firing rate, set control to high (left position). Do not use this setting other than for starting or preheating fresh fuel loads.
Disposal of Ashes Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed outside on a non-combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in a closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. Other waste should not be placed in this container.
Appendix A Troubleshooting Problem Cause Cure Glass is Dirty 1. • Wood is wet Use dry wood 2. Turning down air control • Do not turn down until or damper too soon a) there is a good bed of coals b) the wood is charred 3. Draft too low • • • Improper chimney height and / or diameter, -consult dealer Chimney plugged or restricted, - inspect and clean Provide outside air for combustion 4.
