WARNING
!
• This wood appliance has a manufacturer-set minimum low burn rate that must not be altered. It is against
federal regulations in the United States to alter the setting or otherwise operate this wood appliance in a
manner inconsistent with operating instructions in this manual.
Draft is the force which moves air from the fi rebox up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney
depends on the length and diameter of chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and other factors including
the amount of heat generated by the fi re which can be measured by an appliance thermometer.
Before adjusting the air control, install the knob (supplied) by screwing it onto the end of the air control rod (Fig.
6-1).
Adjusting the air control all the way to the left reduces the temperature. The draft can be adjusted from low to high
by moving the handle in and out (Fig. 6-2).
Inadequate draft may cause back-puffi ng into the room through the appliance and chimney connector points
and may cause plugging of the chimney. Too much draft may cause an excessive temperature in the appliance,
glowing red appliance parts or chimney connectors or an uncontrollable burn which can lead to a chimney fi re or
permanent damage to the appliance.
Do not operate your appliance for longer than 30 minutes with the draft control on "HIGH" (fully open).
6.4 fi re extinguishers / smoke & carbon monoxide detectors
note:
Always check your smoke and CO detectors are working properly.
All homes with a solid fuel burning appliance should have at least one fi re extinguisher in a central location,
known to all, at least one smoke detector and carbon monoxide (CO) detector in the room containing the
appliance. If the smoke detector sounds an alarm, correct the cause but do not deactive or relocate the smoke
detector. If the carbon monoxide detector sounds an alarm, immediately vent the area, evacuate and call your
local fi re department.
