The venting system is equally important for achieving the required flow of combustion air to the firebox and for safely re- moving unwanted combustion by-products from the appliance. If the venting system’s design does not promote these ends, the system may not function properly.

Exploded view of the fire resistant inner plates. These plates are made from a very heat resistant and highly insulating material made of pro- cessed vermiculite. This material is capable of service temperatures up to 1150 C (2101 F) It is however somewhat fragile.
5. Instructions Fire resistant inner plates Fire resistant inner plates are delivered in this SIERRA FLAME wood-burning stoves. We rec- ommend that you treat the plates with care because it is a delicate material (not covered by the limited warranty).

SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM THE STOVE WHILE IT IS IN USE. Fueling the wood-burning stove Your SIERRA FLAME freestanding wood-burning stove is designed for burning natural wood only. Higher efficiencies and lower emissions generally result when burning air dried seasoned hard- woods, as compared to softwoods or to green or freshly cut hardwoods.

• Close the door of the appliance and move the air control to the cold-start position; see the following figure. • When the fire is burning well move the control arm to the desired position for heat output. • Let this fire develop into a good blaze until there is glowing bed of charcoal. You can then add fuel and adjust the appliance, see the following section “Burning Wood”.
Advice • Never burn wood with an open door. • Regularly burn wood with intense roaring fires. • If you frequently have low intensity fires, tar and creosote may be deposited in the chimney. Tar and creosote are highly combustible substances. Thicker layers of these substances might catch fire when the temperature in the chimney increases suddenly and steeply.
