Operating Your Heater
Your First Fires (minimum 3 weeks after installation)
Your new heater contains a lot of moisture. So it is critical that it be thoroughly dried out before being used at full capacity. To do
this, you should heat up your appliance gradually.
Check the tables below for the amount of wood and the number of res required. Gradually increase the intensity of the re and
the wood load with each re. is operation is very important because overly fast evaporation can damage the internal structure of
your appliance. It is also important not to let the heater cool down between res. Some water may ow out of the heater during
the rst re due to internal condensation.

Cold Lighting
If your heater has been out of use for a long time and is at room temperature, it is crucial that you preheat the structure with a
50% load of wood before using a full load. Structural damages can occur if the appliance is heated too quickly (thermal shocks).
You must let heater temperature increase before lighting a second re. It is preferable not to let the heater cool down between res.
Regular Use
Your heater is designed for fast burning, which means that the air vent should be fully open at all times. As it is designed for
regular use, it must reach its cruising temperature and keep it for several weeks; repeated cold lightings will damage the heater and
break up its joints. At the end of the burn cycle, when all embers have burned out, we suggest you close the chimney damper to
keep the heat inside the appliance.
