Operating Instructions
TYPE OF FUEL
CAUTION: Use only premium anthracite coal or wood. Contact your dealer or
supplier for proper selection.
STARTING A FIRE
WARNING: DO NOT use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal
lighter fluid or similar fluids to start or “freshen up” afire in this stove. Keep all such
liquids well away from the stove. DO NOT burn garbage, gasoline, naphtha, engine
oil or any other flammable liquids or chemicals.
1. Open the door of the stove.
2. Looking at the grate, you will notice that some of the coal has been deposited on
the grate. Place crumbled paper on the grate and small wood chips or granulated
charcoal on top of the paper.
3. Light the paper and allow the wood chips or charcoal to ignite. (Place more wood
chips or charcoal on as needed.)
4. Turn the control knob until air is forced into the grate. This will accelerate the
burning of the wood chips or charcoal.
5. If needed, turn the stove off and add more wood chips or charcoal. Turn the stove
back on and place some coal or wood on top of the burning wood chips or charcoal.
6. Add a small amount of coal by hand until a good fire patch is established.
7. When your stove has been lit for about an hour, check the position of the hot coal
on the grate. Because the burning characteristics of coal vary, the feed must be fine
tuned for efficient operation.
CAUTION: Over-firing the heater may cause a house fire. If the stove or
chimney connector glows, you are over-firing!
TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND FIRE ADJUSTING
The heat output of our model 627/629 and 657/659stove is regulated by spin
valve and 667/669 and 679 by air shutter and 677 Model has thermostat which
adjusts the stove’s temperature by increasing or decreasing the flow of draught.
To adjust for your comfort, turn the spin valve clockwise.
If the fire patch is small and to the rear of the grate, use operating tool and pull
and push the pushing rod.(Wait one hour and notice that the fire has become
larger and advanced more to the front of the grate.) Additional pulls and push
the pushing rod will continue to advance the fire.Too many pulls and pushes
will cause the coal to fall off the end of the grate before it is consumed.
