Opening The Door; Before Starting A Fire - Lopi Answer Manual

Opening the Door

Lift the door
handle.
The door becomes hot during use - use gloves or a tool to prevent burns.
To prevent smoke from entering the room, open the air control before opening the door. You can
also open the door a small amount and let air enter the firebox.

Before Starting a Fire


Make sure the air control is pushed in. If additional air is needed, open the doors 1/4" during the first
five minutes of start-up.
Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene,
charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or "freshen up" a
fire in this stove. Keep all such liquids well away from the stove
while it is in use.
DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO START THE FIRE.
DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS SUCH
AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA OR ENGINE OIL. Do not place
such fuel within space heater installation clearances or within
the space required for charging and ash removal.
If using a fire-starter, use only products specifically designed for
stoves - follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully.
HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. KEEP CHILDREN, CLOTHING
AND FURNITURE AWAY. CONTACT MAY CAUSE SKIN
BURNS.
If the smoke does not pass up the chimney, ball up one sheet of
newspaper, place it in the center of the firebox and light it. This
should start the chimney drafting (this eliminates "cold air
blockage").
Use plenty of kindling to ensure the stove reaches a proper
temperature. Once the kindling is burning rapidly, place a few
larger pieces of wood onto the fire.
