8.5 STARTING THE FIRE (DAMPER OPEN)
Remove all sources of gasoline or other flammable vapours and liquids in the vicinity of this or other
appliances prior to lighting.
Use plenty of newspaper and kindling to ensure the appliance quickly reaches a proper temperature. Once the
kindling is burning rapidly, place a few larger pieces of wood onto the fire.
Tip: When first lighting a fire, if the smoke is not quickly drawn into the chimney, there may be a downdraft or cold air
in the chimney. By first burning large amounts of crumpled newspaper, the chimney will get heated and the smoke will
quickly vent up the chimney.
ALWAYS OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE WITH THE GLASS DOOR OR SCREEN CLOSED DURING START-UP
AND RE-FUELING OR WHEN USING THE SPARK SCREEN. ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES TO
PREVENT INJURY.
NEVER LEAVE CHILDREN UNATTENDED WHEN THERE IS A FIRE BURNING IN THE APPLIANCE.
NEVER USE GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR SIMILAR
LIQUIDS TO START OR “FRESHEN UP” A FIRE IN THIS APPLIANCE. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL
AWAY FROM THE APPLIANCE.
THIS APPLIANCE HAS NOT BEEN TESTED WITH ANY VENTED OR UNVENTED GAS LOG SET. TO
REDUCE RISK OF FIRE OR INJURY, DO NOT INSTALL A VENTED OR UNVENTED GAS LOG SET INTO THIS
APPLIANCE.
A. To start, a brisk fire is
required. Roll up some
newspaper (loosely
crumpled), light it and place
it near the appliance flue until
the chimney begins to draw.
B. Cover with dry kindling. C. Light the paper and when the
kindling is burning add more fuel.
Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney
depends on the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and other forces.
Inadequate draft may cause back-puffing into the room and may cause plugging of the chimney. Too much draft may
cause an excessive temperature in the appliance, glowing red appliance parts or an uncontrollable burn which can
all lead to a chimney fire or a permanent damage to the appliance.
