1. SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR YOUR VISION
Carefully read these instructions before installing and using the woodstove.
The Vision is a high efficient woodstove and gets very hot when in use. Contact with the woodstove can
cause severe harm. Install a safety screen to keep children and pets out of reach.
Never leave children or pets unattended while the woodstove is hot.
Do not operate the woodstove with the door open. Leaving the door open will overheat and damage the
woodstove and void the warranty.
Open the door to reload only when the wood has been reduced to embers, otherwise there is a risk of smoke
infiltration into the house and overheating the woodstove.
Only burn dry wood in the Vision woodstove. Do not burn treated wood, construction scraps, coal, garbage,
plastic or metal. Burning anything other than dry natural wood will damage your woodstove and void the
warranty.
Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or
“freshen up” a fire in this woodstove. Keep all such liquids well away from the woodstove while it is in use.
Do not use a woodstove grate.
Do not alter or substitute any components of the woodstove. Changes made to the design of the woodstove
will void the warranty and can be hazardous.
As this woodstove is only intended for burning wood, do not install an unvented gas log set into the structure.
This woodstove is not intended for use in mobile homes.
Install the Vision only as described in this manual of installation.
Cleaning products may damage the paint or plating of the woodstove.
Do not do any maintenance to your woodstove while it is still hot.
Do not obstruct the air flow of the louvers and grills of the woodstove.
Do not use a woodstove insert or other products not specified for use with this woodstove.
Consult authority having jurisdiction (such as the fire department, the municipal building department, the fire
prevention bureau) to determine the need to obtain a permit before installation.
Smoke detectors must be installed at least 15 feet away from the woodstove as to not be triggered by
accidental woodstove smoking.
When performing renovation work around the woodstove, always ensure that the minimum clearances to
combustible materials are respected.
Burning charcoal (if charcoal is used for the barbeque feature) may produce carbon monoxide. Be sure to
have proper ventilation to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.

2. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: READ THE OWNER’S MANUAL CAREFULLY. Read the following brief instructions before using
your woodstove.
The Vision is not intended to serve as a primary source of heat. A primary source of heat must be available in the home that
the Vision is installed in. Supreme is not responsible for heating costs related to other sources of heat.
2.1 Fuel
The Vision is designed to burn dry, natural, seasoned wood having a moisture content below 20%. The optimum log length
is 16-18 inches, preferably split in halves or quarters and left to dry under a cover or away from the elements for a minimum
of one year prior to use.
Use good quality dry cordwood only. DO NOT burn coal, construction lumber, plastics, garbage or other foreign materials
in your woodstove. Gas logs cannot be used with the Vision. Use solid wood fuel only.
Do not over fire the Vision. Over firing will damage the woodstove, is hazardous and will void the warranty.
Do not burn paper, newspaper, cardboard, pine tree branches or construction materials.
WARNING: Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start
or “freshen up” a fire in this woodstove. Keep all such liquids well away from the woodstove while it is in use.
Ecological or compressed logs containing chemical additives are not tested and approved to be used with the Vision. Using
them will overheat and damage the woodstove and void the warranty. Ecological or compressed logs that are 100% wood
and contain no other additives can be safely used in the Vision. Never use more than three of these logs at a time. Using
more is not only dangerous, but will damage the woodstove and void the warranty. Follow the ecological log
manufacturer’s safety guidelines and recommendations and be sure that they are intended for use in woodstoves. Reload
only once the previous load of wood has been consumed and only a small flame remains.
WARNING: Do not keep the door open while the woodstove is lit.
2.2 First Fires
Due to oil residues and the curing of the paint of the woodstove, an odor can be smelled during the first 2 to 3 fires of the
Vision. Open a window or a door near the woodstove to ventilate the house during the first fire.
2.3 The Combustion Air Control
The burn rate and the heat output are related to the amount of
combustion air. The combustion air control of the Vision has two
components: the Easy-Light and the Burn Rate Selector (see figure 1).
2.3.1 Operating the Combustion Air Control
When starting the fire or when adding a new charge of wood, the
woodstove needs additional air in order to establish a good fire. When
the wood starts to burn properly, the amount of air can be reduced depending on
the heating requirements.
The left combustion control lever is the Easy-Light mechanism (see figure 1). When starting a fire or adding a new load of
wood, the Easy-Light must be pushed in to allow a primary source of air to enter the firebox.
The right combustion control lever is the Burn Rate Selector (see figure 1). The Burn Rate Selector can slide sideways to
achieve different burn rates. When the Burn Rate Selector is positioned to the left, a maximum burn rate is achieved and
when it is positioned to the right, a minimum burn rate is set.

Figure 2 – Not Recommended
Keeping the Burn Rate Selector to the right will burn the wood slower. Keeping the Burn Rate Selector to the left will
provide a stronger fire and keep the glass of the woodstove cleaner for longer. Adjust the burn trate according to your
heating requiremments and the quality of your wood.
The combustion air control will automatically and gradually close the primary air source with the presence of heat to
maximize the burn time.
WARNING: The combustion air openings should never be obstructed.
2.4 Starting a Fire
Assure that all the safety precautions mentioned in the owner’s manual are being
respected.
1. Place two logs in the firebox. The logs should sit directly on the hearth.
Maintain approximately a one inch gap between the logs. This will facilitate
the Easy-Light airflow. Do not use a woodstove grate.
2. Add a firestarter on top of the two logs.
3. Add two more logs on top of firestarter and first set of logs. A log should be
positioned directly above the firestarter, but with a one to two inch gap (see
figure 3).
4. Push the left combustion control lever (the Easy-Light) inwards.
5. Slide the right combustion control lever (the Burn Rate Selector) to the desired
burn rate. Positioning the Burn Rate Selector towards the left is for maximum
burn rate and towards the right is for minimum burn rate.
6. Light the firestarter.
7. Once the firestarter is well lit, close the door. Do not leave the door open for more
than 2 minutes.
Caution: The wood should be placed away from the doors to avoid damage to the
glass.
WARNINGS: Over firing the unit may result in overheating and can damage the
woodstove and/or result in fire hazards. The maximum firewood load must not
exceed 4 medium sized logs (approximately 30 pounds). Open the door to reload only
when the wood has been reduced to charcoal, otherwise there is a risk of smoke
infiltration into the house.
This woodstove has been designed to burn with the doors closed. When the woodstove
is being used, the doors should remain closed at all times. Failing to do so is a safety
hazard, will damage the woodstove and void the warranty.
NOTE: Always place the wood at the center of the firebox. Keep the bottom logs apart in such a way that at least one
slot of the ashtray grate is not obstructed. The Easy-Light air flows through the grate slots.
WARNING: Do not use fire accelerants to rekindle the fire if the first attempt to start the fire failed. Do not
open the door. Simply reactivate the Easy-Light by pushing it inwards.
NOTE: Sufficient air exchange is necessary for the woodstove to operate properly. Air is required in order to maintain the
combustion of the woodstove. If the house is airtight, the woodstove may not function properly. If the woodstove is
deprived of air, it will be necessary to provide a source of fresh air into the dwelling. This may be done by using an air
exchanger unit or simply by opening a window or a door near the woodstove partially for a few minutes. Make sure that
other equipment such as the kitchen exhaust fans or oil central heating systems do not affect the woodstove functionality.
Large return ducts of central heating systems located in the same room as the woodstove is installed may affect the proper
functioning of the woodstove and may cause smoking.
2.5 Adding a New Load of Wood
When the wood has been reduced to embers, add a new load.
