Page 26: Safety Notice
Over-firing may lead to damage of plated surfaces. If you are uncertain of over-firing conditions, we suggest placing a stove thermometer (e.g. Rutland® Model 710) directly over the door on the stove top - temperatures exceeding 800° are generally considered over-firing and will void the warranty. © Travis Industries 4/30/2020 - 1510 Answer...

Page 28: Adjusting The Burn Rate
The air control may become hot during operation - use gloves or a tool to prevent burns. The air control may take several minutes to influence the burn rate. When making adjustments, you may wish to let the stove burn for 10 minutes to gauge performance. © Travis Industries 4/30/2020 - 1510 Answer...
Page 30: Optional Blower Operation
The blower will make a slight "humm" as it pushes air through the stove. Hint: Make sure the leveling bolts on legs are extended - preventing the hearth from amplifying any vibrations. IDB1140 © Travis Industries 4/20/2020 - 1510 Answer...
Page 31: Hints For Burning

Page 35: Monthly Maintenance (While Appliance Is In Use)
Excess creosote buildup may cause a chimney fire, that may result in property damage, injury, or death. Operating this appliance continually at a low burn rate (air starvation) or using green (un-seasoned wood) will increase the formation of creosote. © Travis Industries 4/20/2020 - 1510 Answer...
