Restarting After Extended or Overnight Burns
1.
Open door and rake hot embers towards the front of the heater. Add a couple of dry, split logs
on top of embers, close door.
2.
Adjust air control to high (left position) and in just a few minutes, logs should begin
burning.
3.
After wood has charred, reset air control to desired setting.
4. To achieve maximum firing rate, set control to high (left position). Do not use this setting other
than for starting or preheating fresh fuel loads.
Proper Draft
1.
Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up through the chimney. The amount of
draft in your chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstruc-
tions and other factors.
2.
Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the appliance. An uncontrollable burn or
a glowing red stove part or chimney indicates excessive draft.
3.
Inadequate draft may cause backpuffing into the room and plugging of the chimney. Smoke
leaking into the room through appliance and chimney connector joints indicates inadequate
draft.
Ash Removal
Whenever ashes get 76mm to 102mm inches deep in your firebox, and when fire has burned down
and cooled, remove excess ashes. Leave an ash bed approximately (25 mm) deep on the firebox
bottom to help maintain a hot charcoal bed.
Ash Chute Operation: Your Alderlea stove is equipped with an ash chute system to ease removal
of ash from the ash lip area. To use this system, first pull out the ash pan approximately 51mm, sweep
the ash into the chute located to the right side of the ash lip, and close the ash pan.
Ash Cleanout System: The ash dump handle is located under the ash lip on the left hand side. To
operate ash dump, pull handle out 13mm and turn clockwise. This will unlock the ash dump and allow
it to open. Hold handle open while pulling ashes into the opening. Avoid large embers as these still
contain heat value. Release handle and push in to lock. Ensure ash dump door is properly engaged.
Fill the cavity with the remaining ash level with the firebox floor. Pull out ashpan and discard ashes
into metal container. Replace ashpan and ensure it is seated properly.

DO NOT OVERFIRE THIS HEATER:
Attempts to achieve heat output rates that ex-
ceed heater design specifications can result in
permanent damage to the heater and chimney.
CAUTION:
Ashes are to be removed only when the heater
is cold.
Do not burn with ash dump door open. Doing
so will create a hazardous
condition. Always leave about 1" of ash when
cleaning.
