Re-Loading the Fireplace

Follow the directions below to minimize smoke spillage while re-loading the fireplace.
1 Pull the by-pass out all the way (use the tool or a glove).
2 Move the air control to high.
3 Open the door slightly. Let the airflow inside the firebox to stabilize before opening the doors fully.
4 Load wood onto the fire.

Overnight Burn

This fireplace is large enough to accommodate overnight, 10 to 12 hour burns. Follow the steps
below to achieve an overnight burn.
1 Get the fireplace hot by moving the air control to high and letting the fireplace burn for 15 minutes.
2 Load as much wood as possible. Use large pieces if possible.
3 Let the fireplace burn on high for 15 minutes to keep the fireplace hot, then turn the air control to low.
4 In the morning the fireplace should still be hot, with embers in the coal bed. The glass may be dark –
this is normal. Stir the coals and load small pieces of wood to re-ignite the fire, if desired.
Note: Differences if chimney height and draft may lower overall burn times.

Normal Operating Sounds

Creaks and Clicks:
The steel may creak or click when the stove heats up
and cools down - this is normal.
Blower Sounds:
The blower will make a slight "humm" as it
pushes air through the stove.

Hints for Burning

• Get the appliance hot before adjusting to low burn
• Use smaller pieces of wood during start-up and high burns to increase temperature
• Use larger pieces of wood for overnight or sustained burns
• Stack the wood tightly together to establish a longer burn
• Be considerate of neighbors & the environment: burn dry wood only
• Burn small, intense fires instead of large, slow burning fires when possible
• Learn your appliance's operating characteristics to obtain optimum performance
