1."To maximize the efficiency of your wood stove make sure it is sized properly for the space you plan to heat. An
oversized stove will burn and be forced to burn at a lower and dirtier burn rate. Consult with your dealer for sizing
your stove correctly.
2. Use dry, seasoned wood only. Recommended fire wood length 11" front to back. Using wet wood will greatly
reduce your efficiency.
3. Consult with your installer/dealer to correctly place the stove in your home. An incorrectly placed stove can
greatly reduce efficiency.
Maximizing the efficiency of your stove will heat your house quickly, burn cleaner and use less wood.
Use dried split wood (6-12 months) and placed from front to back position in heater. (See Page 5 Bottom
Picture).
"This wood heater has a manufacturer-set minimum low burn rate that must not be altered. It is against federal

The following steps will serve as a guide for operating your stove.
BUILDING A FIRE

COVER DOOR
OPEN
1. Twist two pieces of non-colored newspaper into a roll and place them on floor of firebox.
NOTE: Do not use grate or elevate fire. Build wood fire directly on inner bottom of fire box.
2. This model is not designed for use of grates, andirons or other methods of supporting fuel.
3. Lay several pieces of dry kindling on top of newspaper.
4. Place three or four small pieces of firewood, 2"-3" in diameter, on top of kindling.
5. Light newspaper in front. Close and latch door. Don't leave fire unattended at this point. The draft system of
heater should start quickly. It may be necessary to preheat chimney to get draft started. To do this, open door
and add newspaper to top rear of wood. Light or let this paper ignite and allow to burn while holding the door
slightly cracked. Once draft has started, close and lock door. You are over- heating the unit if the chimney and or
connector glows red.
6. NOTE: After embers and a coal bed have been established, load heater with seasoned natural hard wood,
placing it front to rear.
NOTE: THE FUELING DOOR MUST REMAIN CLOSED DURING OPERATION
Your stove is equipped with an automatic thermostat. When stove gets hot enough, thermostat will activate
room air blower. Set fan speed on low, when burning on low, med-low or med-high. Set fan speed on high when
burning on high.
NOTE: When refueling or removing ashes turn "OFF" room air blower. Be sure to turn room air blower back
on when finished.
NOTE: Do not run power cord underneath heater or in walk way or heavy traffic areas.
