PRODUCT FEATURES AND CONTROLS

ASH DRAWER
The large ash drawer located on the left side of the ped-
estal is designed to make cleaning easier by containing
the ashes in a removable drawer.
CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE STOVE WITH
THE ASH DRAWER OPEN OR AJAR, AS THIS WILL
PRODUCE EXTREME TEMPERATURES WITHIN THE
STOVE (OVERFIRING) AND COULD CAUSE DAMAGE
(SUCH DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED BY THE MANU-
FACTURERS' WARRANTY).
DRAWER GASKET IF IT BECOMES FRAYED OR
DAMAGED.
PRIMARY AIR CONTROL
The primary combustion air delivery is controlled by the
Primary Air Control Assembly (The control handle is lo-
cated below the fuel door). The heat output can be con-
trolled by sliding the handle to a higher or lower heat out-
put setting (See Care and Operation Section – Primary
Air Control, page 14). The fuel, the amount of heat and
burn times desired, the type of installation are all vari-
ables that will affect the control setting. The same control
settings in a variety of installations will produce different
results. You will need to try different settings so you can
learn how much heat to expect and how long the fire will

CARE AND OPERATI0N
FUEL DOOR
CAUTION: WHEN OPENING THE DOOR, DO NOT EX-
TEND IT BEYOND ITS NORMAL TRAVEL. OVEREX-
TENDING THE DOOR TO A FURTHER OPEN POSITION
CAN PUT EXCESSIVE STRESS ON HINGE AREA OF
DOOR AND HINGE PINS AND MAY RESULT IN BREAK-
AGE.
DOOR OPERATION
The door handle assembly opens and securely latches
the fuel door closed (see illustration above). To open the
door, rotate the coil handle to the 9:00 position until door
releases. To close and latch, hold the coil handle in the
9:00 position, close the door, then rotate the handle to
the 6:00 position. See illustration above.
GLASS
The Glass is a super heat resistant ceramic that with-
stands continuous temperatures up to 1390°F. This tem-
perature is well beyond the temperatures in which you
operate your stove. If the glass ever becomes damaged
in any way, replace it, using only 5mm ceramic glass
(catalog # G2000-7).
This appliance is designed to provide a flow of air over
the inside of the glass, which along with high heat helps
keep it clean. When operating the stove on low for ex-
tended periods of time, the glass may get dirty. A short,
hot fire (15 - 20 minutes) will help clean off much of the
normal buildup (see troubleshooting). A commercial
glass cleaner designed for stoves is recommended for
cleaning.
The glass should be cleaned thoroughly with glass
cleaner and a soft cloth BEFORE the stove is burned.
