PLEASE READ AND SAVE INSTRUCTIONS

SAFETY WARNING

• Please read this entire manual before you install and use your new heater. Failure to follow these instructions
may result in property damage, personal injury, and even death.

• If this appliance is not properly installed, operated and maintained a serious house fire could result. Do not
use any makeshift materials during installation.

• Never place wood, paper, furniture, drapes or other combustible materials near the stove, or let children or
pets touch it when it is hot.

• Operate only with the door and ash pan tightly closed and burn wood directly on the stove floor. Do not
operate if the door glass is broken or a gasket is missing or damaged. Do not alter the combustion air control
valves. Dangerous overfiring could occur which could ignite creosote in the chimney or cause a house fire.

• At least 12 sq. In. (77.4 sq. Cm) of fresh outside air should be admitted into the room or directly to the stove
through a 4” in. (10.16 cm) diameter pipe. It would be dangerous to operate the stove with the combustion-air
inlet closed.

• Do not burn coal or charcoal as there is danger of carbon monoxide being produced. Do not use chemical
fluids to start or re-fresh the fire. Do not burn garbage or flammable fluids such as gasoline, grease, naphtha
or engine oil. Never let the stove become hot enough to get any part red or glowing red.

• Burning wet unseasoned wood could cause excessive creosote accumulation. When ignited it could cause a
chimney fire that could result in a serious house fire.

• Do not use grates, andirons or any other methods to support or raise the fire up off the hearth of the
appliance.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

STARTING:

Place crumpled paper on the stove floor and cover with kindling. Open the draft fully and ignite. Hold the door
slightly a jar for a few minutes and then close tightly. After the wood is burning brightly add more dry wood and,
when the fire is hot, use the draft control to adjust the burn rate. This limits the amount of combustion air entering
the fuel chamber and can be adjusted from a low burn rate with the handle fully in, to a fast burn with the handle
fully out. Do not allow any part of the appliance or the components to become red or glowing red. This is the sign
that the unit is in an overfire condition.

FIRST START:

When first installed, the chimney, firebricks and steel are cold and it usually takes several hours on a fairly high
burn for them to become hot and dry enough for the stove to function well. The paint will smell a little for the first
time or two as it cures. You may wish to open a door or window to eliminate the smell.

DRAFT CONTROL:

Located on the front of the stove just below the ash sill is the Slider Air Damper. This damper will control the
amount of air to the fire. Pull this control all the way out when first starting the stove. Once the fire has been
established you may adjust this control to set the burn rate of the fire. If this damper is closed at first start up the
fire will burn very slowly and could soot the appliance.

FUEL:

Both hardwood and softwood burn well in this stove. Both woods contain about 8,000 BTUs per pound, but
hardwood is generally denser, will weigh more per cord, and burns a little slower and longer. Cutting firewood so
that it will fit vertically, front to back, makes it easier loading and less likely for the fuel to roll on the glass. Except
for a cold start, there is no need to crisis-cross the logs. Ideal lengths would be about 12 “ for models 1000, 16.5”
for model 1600, 21 “ for model 2100. Burn only dry, seasoned wood. It produces more heat and less soot or
creosote. Freshly cut wood has about 50% moisture. A ten pound log contains 5 pounds of water. To season
firewood split and stack it so that air can get to all parts of the wood. Burn beach wood only if its salt content has
been washed away in a season of rain and then the wood dried. When refueling open the door slowly to prevent
smoke spillage.

FOR MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY:

When the stove is hot, load it fully to the top of the door opening, and burn at medium low settings. When the fuel
is mostly consumed, leaving a bed of red coals, repeat the process. Maximum heat for minimum fuel occurs when
the stovetop temperature is between 250° F (120° c) and 550° F (290° c). The bricks will be nearly all white, the
glass mostly clear. The most likely causes of dirty glass are: not enough fuel to get the stove thoroughly hot,
burning green or wet wood, closing the draft until there is insufficient air for complete combustion, or a weak
chimney draw. Indeed, the whiteness of the bricks and the cleanness of the glass are good indicators of the stove
operating efficiently.

USE A LONG PAIR OF GLOVES (BARBECUE GLOVES) WHEN FEEDING THE FIRE. BECAUSE THESE
STOVES BURN AT THE FRONT THEY ARE CLEAN AND EFFICIENT, BUT THEY ARE ALSO VERY HOT
AND GLOVES ARE USEFUL. KEEP A SMALL STEEL SHOVEL AND WHISK NEARBY FOR MOVING A LOG
OR LIFTING A FALLEN EMBER AND FOR KEEPING THE HEARTH CLEAN.

FANS:

All models have been approved for operation with or without the optional fans supplied by the manufacturer. On
medium or high burns, using a fan will increase the heat transfer slightly. Route the power supply cord along the
floor behind the stove where it will remain cool.

DISPOSAL OF ASHES:

If you let the ashes accumulate two or three inches on the floor they tend to burn themselves up. Open the small
trap door located on the floor of the unit. Push the ashes that have accumulated into the hole were the ashes
would drop into the ash pan. Ensure that the trap door is closed properly before relighting the unit. When
necessary put the ashes in a metal container with a tightly fitting lid. Place the closed container on a non­combustible floor, well away from combustible materials. If the ashes are to be buried in soil or otherwise locally
dispersed, keep them in a closed container until all cinders have cooled. If your model has an ash pan, be sure to
latch the ash pan tightly when finished. Small amounts of cold wood ash can be used in the garden or compost.

CLEANING AND REPLACING THE GLASS:

Normally a hot stove will keep the glass clean, but if you must clean the glass, use a soft cloth with no abrasive
and clean only when cold. Never strike or slam the door, hit the glass or let burning wood rest against it. If the
glass cracks when the fire is burning, do not open the door until the fire is out and do not operate the stove again
until the glass has been replaced, preferably by your dealer. To remove the door, open and lift. To replace the
glass, remove the steel retaining clips and all loose glass. Replace only with Neoceram 5 mm glass 16.61” (422
mm) x 10.63” (270 mm) and wrap the edges with 0.125” (3.2 mm) x 0.5” (13 mm) self-adhesive fiberglass gasket.

FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND SMOKE DETECTION:

All homes with a solid fuel burning stove should have at least one fire extinguisher in a central location known to
all in the household, and at least one smoke detection devise in the room containing the stove. If it sounds the
alarm, correct the cause but do not deactivate or relocate the smoke detection devise.

CREOSOTE- ITS FORMATION AND REMOVAL:

When wood is burned slowly, it may produce tar and other vapors that combined with moisture form creosote.
These vapors condense in the relatively cooler chimney flue of a slow burning fire, and if ignited, make an
extremely hot fire. So, the smoke pipe and chimney should be inspected bi-weekly during the heating season to
determine if a build-up has occurred. If creosote has accumulated it should be removed to reduce the risk of a
chimney fire.

CHIMNEY OR RUN AWAY FIRE:

1. Call local fire department (or dial 911)

2. Close the draft fully

3. Examine flue pipes, chimney, attic, and roof of the house, to see if any part has become hot enough to catch

fire. If necessary spray with fire extinguisher or water from the garden hose.

4. Do not operate the stove again until you are certain the chimney and its lining have not been damaged.

MAINTENANCE:

At the end of each heating season clean the chimney and the smoke pipe. If soot has accumulated above the top
baffle bricks, remove, clean, and then replace them. If the secondary air tube is badly eroded, replace it. Replace

worn door gaskets and broken bricks as needed.

SYSTEM REGULARLY CAN RESULT IN A CHIMNEY FIRE, WHICH COULD DAMAGE THE
CHIMNEY OR CAUSE A HOUSE FIRE.
