WARNING: This method is not a substitute for regular
chimney inspections and cleaning.
5) To achieve maximum fi ring rate, set control to "H" (high)
position (pushed to the far left). Do not use this setting
other than for starting or preheating fresh fuel loads.
DO NOT OVERFIRE THIS HEATER: Attempts to achieve
heat output rates that exceed heater design specifi cations
can result in permanent damage to the heater and chimney.
WARNING: No alteration or modifi cation of the combus-
tion air control assembly is permitted. Any tampering will
void warranty and could be very hazardous.
Do not store/place wood or other combustibles within the
required clearances surrounding the unit.
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 "H" (high) position (pushed to the far
left) and in just a few minutes, logs should begin burning.
3) After wood has charred, reset air control to desired setting.
4) When burning at a slow rate for extended periods, oc-
casionally maintain a strong fi re under supervision for a
couple of hours to relieve fi rebox and chimney deposits
as well as any of the deposits on the glass.
Heat Output Calculation
Seasoned wood has approximately 7500 BTU's per pound.
The calculation is as follows:
Amount of wood in lbs. X 7500BTU's
Burn rate in Hrs.
Experience will give you the right settings for proper combustion
and efficient burning. Remember the correct air inlet setting is
affected by variables such as type of wood, outside tempera-
ture, chimney size and weather conditions. With practice, you
will become profi cient in operating your heater and will obtain
the performance for which it was designed.
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 obstructions 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 3 to 4 inches deep in your fi rebox, and
when fi re has burned down and cooled, remove excess ashes.
Leave an ash bed approximately 1 inch deep on the fi rebox
bottom to help maintain a hot charcoal bed.
Disposal of Ashes
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fi t-
ting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on
a non-combustible fl oor or on the ground, well away from all
combustible materials, pending fi nal disposal. If the ashes
are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed,
they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders
have thoroughly cooled. Other waste should not be placed
in this container!
Blower
The Alderlea Insert comes equipped with twin variable speed
circulating air blowers. The blower system is thermostatically
controlled for automatic operation, as as well manually with a
convenient bypass switch.
Blower Operation
Automatic: To operate the blowers automatically, push the
rocker switch to the "OFF" position and set the fan speed
control to a desired setting.
This will allow the blowers to turn on automatically once the
Insert has come up to operating temperature. It will also shut
the blower off after the fi re has gone out and the appliance
has cooled to below a useful heat output range.
Manual: To manually operate the blowers, push the rocker
switch to the "ON" position and set the fan speed control to a
desired setting. This will bypass the temperature switch and
allow full control of the blower.
Suggested settings:
- Combustion air control setting of "L" (low) position (pushed
to the far right), operate blower speed control on "Low" .
- Combustion air control set at anything above "L" (low),
operate blower speed control at desired setting.
