PAINT CURING
If your stove has plated accessories, be sure to clean it with a household
type glass cleaner and a very soft cloth to remove any fingerprints and
residues prior to the first fire and before any fire if the plated surfaces
have been handled or soiled. Do not close the door tightly during the
"Burn-In Period." Also, open the door frequently (every 5-10 minutes)
to keep the gasket from adhering to the curing paint. Ventilate the
house well during these first firings as the paint gives off carbon dioxide
and unpleasant odors. It is recommended that persons sensitive to an
imbalance in the indoor air quality avoid the stove or fireplace insert
during the curing process.
Your new Grandview™ 230 is painted with a high temperature paint that
cures during the first few firings. We recommend that you put your stove
or fireplace insert through a regimen of three burns. The first two should
last for 20 minutes each at 250 degrees (the stove or fireplace insert should
be allowed to cool completely between each burn). The third should be a
burn of at least 450 degrees F. for 45-60 minutes. The paint will become
soft, gummy and emit non-toxic smoke during these burns. During these
first burns, open the appliance door frequently to help prevent the door
gasket from adhering to the appliance. After the stove or fireplace insert
cools down for the third time, the paint will harden.

touch-ups should be done only with a high temperature stove paint (cat.

BURN-IN PERIOD
Please be patient with the heat output of your stove or fireplace insert for
the first few weeks. The steel will go through a curing process that elimi-
nates moisture, which is deep in the steel and firebrick. This moisture will
reduce initial heat output of your stove or fireplace insert and may make

THE AMOUNT OF AIR ENTERING THE STOVE IMMEDIATELY).
OPERATING HINTS
1. Burn only dry, well-seasoned cord wood. In some states it is illegal
to burn wet wood or anything other than clean, dry wood products.
2. Your stove or fireplace insert is designed to operate with the door
closed! Operate only with the door shut tightly at all times except when
loading wood and possibly on start up to establish a draft. Never leave
the unit unattended while the front door is opened.
3. DO NOT contact or move the baffle boards while loading wood. Oc-
casionally check the baffle to assure that the boards are in there correct
location.

5. Feeding excessive amounts of fuel to the stove or fireplace insert
should be avoided. It is important to supply it with sufficient draft
and fuel to maintain a moderately hot fire. If, during overnight burns,
heavy creosote deposits develop inside your stove and on the door,
the draft is set too low - review your burning habits!
DOOR OPERATION
Do not operate the appliance with the door open or ajar other
than possibly during start up to create a draft (Do not leave the
unit unattended while the front door is slightly open during start
up). Operating the appliance with the door open other than in
initial start up if needed will produce extreme temperatures
within the appliance. Damage caused from over-firing is not
covered under the manufacturers limited warranty.
