• Non-toxic smoke will be emitted during the paint curing
process, to help dissipate the smoke open a window near the
appliance.
• Remove any dust or debris off the top of the appliance
before firing the appliance as the paint will become soft as the
appliance heats up and will harden as the appliance cures. To
cure the paint on your appliance burn your appliance
moderately hot during the first few fires.
• To keep the door gasket from sticking to the appliance as
the paint is curing; periodically open the fireplace's door.
• For the first two weeks use generous amounts of fuel and
burn the appliance with the air control (if applicable) fully open

for an hour as the appliance goes through a process of
eliminating moisture in the steel and firebricks. The initial heat
output will be reduced while the moisture is being drawn from
the appliance and it will be necessary to build several hot fires
to remove this moisture.
DURING THIS PROCESS DO NOT OVERFIRE THE
APPLIANCE.
REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF AIR COMING INTO THE
APPLIANCE IF THE APPLIANCE OR CHIMNEY BECOMES
RED.
The chimney vent system used on your wood burning
appliance should be designed with the least amount of
restriction possible to enable the exhaust products to easily
flow through it. Chimney vent systems that are too short or too
long can also have an adverse effect on the flow of exhaust
through it. Offsets in the flue can restrict the flow of exhaust
gases and may require an increase in the overall flue length.
