B. Draft Controls
This unit has a draft control system that is used to determine the
amount of combustion air that enters the stove. The more the controls
are opened, the more air will enter the firebox and thereby increase the
heat output of the unit. This will, by creating a hotter fire, make your
fuel burn faster. Pushing the slide draft located above the door to the
left opens the damper, and unscrewing the bottom screw damper
(counterclockwise) located on the bottom ash door opens that control.
No two flue systems are identical; you will have to experiment with
your furnace draft settings to achieve the maximum burn time and heat
output. If you have any problem regulating the furnace, consult your
local dealer or our Customer Service department at (800) 245-6489.
C. Do Not Over-Fire Your Unit
IMPORTANT: Using flammable liquids, too much wood, or burning
trash in this unit may result in over-firing. If the chimney connector
pipe glows red or — even worse — white, the stove is over-fired. This
condition could ignite creosote in the chimney, which in turn could
cause a house fire.
CAUTION: If you do over-fire the unit, immediately close the draft
controls and the door if it is open. You should get out of the house and
call the fire department. Do not use the stove again until the chimney
and connector pipe have been inspected and any damaged parts
replaced. A chimney sweep can perform the inspection and make any
necessary repairs.
D. Everyday Fueling
This furnace is designed to burn six to eight hours on one filling of
good seasoned wood. To refuel the unit, proceed as follows:
1. Open both draft controls as described previously. Crack the door
approximately 1" (one inch) and leave it in this manner for two to five
minutes. This will allow the excess smoke to go up the chimney system
by increasing the draft.
2. Now you can slowly open the door; you should see a hot bed of coals
in the firebox. If the fire has burned out, stop here and refer to the
procedure for "Building a Fire."
