OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: THIS UNIT WAS DESIGNED
FOR OPERATION ONLY WITH THE DOOR
CLOSED AND TIGHTLY LATCHED. OPERATING
THIS UNIT WITH THE DOOR LATCHED
LOOSELY OR OPEN WILL ALLOW EXCESSIVE
COMBUSTION AIR TO REACH THE FIRE AND
WILL RESULT IN DANGEROUSLY HIGH UNIT
TEMPERATURES. HIGH UNIT TEMPERATURES
"OVERFIRING" CAN DAMAGE THE UNIT,
VOID THE WARRANTY OR IGNITE CREOSOTE
DEPOSITED IN THE CHIMNEY SYSTEM BY
PREVIOUS, SLOW BURNING FIRES.
CAUTION:
• NEVER OVERFIRE THIS APPLIANCE BY
BUILDING EXCESSIVELY HOT FIRES AS A
HOUSE/BUILDING FIRE MAY RESULT. YOU
ARE OVERFIRING THE APPLIANCE IF IT
BEGINS TO GLOW OR TURN RED.
• DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO
START THE FIRE.
• NEVER BUILD EXCESSIVELY LARGE FIRES IN
THIS TYPE OF APPLIANCE AS DAMAGE TO
THE FIREBOX OR SMOKE LEAKAGE MAY
RESULT.
• HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. KEEP CHILDREN,
CLOTHING, AND FURNITURE AWAY.
CONTACT MAY CAUSE SKIN BURNS. DO
NOT TOUCH THE APPLIANCE UNTIL IT HAS
COOLED.
• PROVIDE ADEQUATE AIR FOR COMBUSTION
TO THE ROOM WHERE THE APPLIANCE IS
INSTALLED.
• INSPECT CHIMNEY LINER EVERY 60 DAYS.
REPLACE LINER IMMEDIATELY IF IT IS
RUSTING OR LEAKING SMOKE INTO THE
ROOM.
• ATTEMPTS TO ACHIEVE HEAT OUTPUT
RATES THAT EXCEED HEATER DESIGN
SPECIFICATIONS CAN RESULT IN
PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE HEATER.
TAMPER WARNING
This wood heater has a manufacturer-set minimum
low burn rate that must not be altered. It is against
federal regulations to alter this setting or otherwise
operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent with
operating instructions in this manual.
Single Burn Rate Wood Fire Stove
EFFICIENCIES
• Efficiencies can be based on either the lower heating
value (LHV) or the higher heating value (HHV) of the
fuel.
• The lower heating value is when water leaves the
combustion process as a vapor, in the case of
woodstoves the moisture in the wood being burned
leaves the stove as a vapor.
• The higher heating value is when water leaves the
combustion process completely condensed.
• In the case of wood stoves, this would assume
the exhaust gases are room temperature when
leaving the system, and therefore calculations using
this heating value consider the heat going up the
chimney as lost energy.
• Therefore, efficiency calculated using the lower
heating value of wood will be higher than efficiency
calculated using the higher heating value. The best
way to achieve optimum efficiencies is to learn the
burn characteristic of you appliance and burn well-
seasoned wood.
• Higher burn rates are not always the best heating
burn rates; after a good fire is established a lower
burn rate may be a better option for efficient
heating. A lower burn rate slows the flow of usable
heat out of the home through the chimney, and it
also consumes less wood.
PAINT CURING
NOTE: BECAUSE OF HIGH OPERATING TEMPERATURES,
THIS STOVE USES A SPECIAL HIGH-TEMPERATURE
PAINT. TO ENABLE THE PAINT TO BOND DURABLY TO
THE STOVE, FOLLOW THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE:
1. Build a small fire at a low temperature (250˚F) in the
stove for 20 minutes.
2. Build another small fire again at a low temperature
(250˚F) in the stove which lasts 20 minutes.
3. Build a final fire at a temperature of approximately
500˚F in the stove which lasts 20 minutes.
The paint curing process is now complete. Provide cross
ventilation to eliminate odors or smoke cause by curing
process.
Notice: Use solid wood fuel only! Do not burn
garbage, or flammable fluids. Do not use coal. This
appliance is not designed to accommodate the air
flow (draft) required to properly burn coal or coal
products. Do not elevate the fire using grates or
irons. Build the fire directly on the firebrick.
