Before Starting a Fire
The bypass control becomes hot during operation - use gloves or a tool to prevent burns.
Use of the optional GreenStart igniter will greatly simplify this process. See page 43.
•
Make sure the air control is pulled out. If additional air is needed, open the door 1/4" during the first
five minutes of startup.

Make sure the bypass is pulled out.
Do not use colored paper or any material other than
newspaper and cord wood to start a fire. This may
damage the combustor.
Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene,
charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or "freshen
up" a fire in this stove. Keep all such liquids well away
from the stove while it is in use.
DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO START THE
FIRE. DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE
FLUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA, OR ENGINE
OIL. Do not place such fuel within space heater
installation clearances or within the space required for
charging and ash removal.
If using a fire-starter, use only products specifically
designed for stoves - follow the manufacturer's
instructions carefully.
HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. KEEP CHILDREN,
CLOTHING, AND FURNITURE AWAY. CONTACT
MAY CAUSE SKIN BURNS.
Do not open the ash pan when the stove is lit. An
extreme fire hazard will result.
If the smoke does not pass up the chimney, ball up one
sheet of newspaper, place it in the center of the firebox,
and light it. This should start the chimney drafting (this
eliminates "cold air blockage").
Use plenty of kindling to ensure the stove reaches a
proper temperature. Once the kindling is burning rapidly,
place a few larger pieces of wood onto the fire.
