Fueling Instructions - United States Stove US1100E-P Owner’s Instruction And Operation Manual

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Notice: Use solid wood fuel only! Do not burn garbage,
or flammable fluids. Do not use coal. This appliance
is not designed to accommodate the air flow (draft)
required to properly burn coal or coal products. Do
not elevate the fire using grates or irons. Build the fire
directly on the firebrick.

FUELING INSTRUCTIONS

This wood stove has been certified by the US EPA
to meet strict 2020 guidelines. To ensure this unit
produces the optimal minimum emissions it is critical
that only well-seasoned cordwood is burned (see the
"Fuel Recommendations" section of this manual).
Burning unseasoned wet wood only hurts your stoves
efficiency and leads to accelerated creosote buildup in
your chimney. Be considerate of the environment and
only burn dry wood.
CAUTION:
DO NOT LEAVE APPLIANCE UNATTENDED THE
WITH DOOR OPEN.
For a cold start-up, place 4 to 5 pieces of newspaper
into the firebox. On top of the newspaper, lay 2.5 lbs of
kindling in random placement to ensure airflow through
the kindling. On top of the kindling, place approximately
3.5 to 4 lbs of small pieces of cordwood. NOTE: Use
smaller pieces of wood during start-up and a high burn
rate to increase the stove temperature.
Pull the air control out fully (in the "HI" position). Light
the newspaper and leave the door slightly open for about
3.5 - 4 lbs
a minute. NOTE: You may have to leave it open a bit
longer, depending on your chimney height and outdoor
conditions. After one minute (or once the fire is well
started) close the door and allow the kindling to ignite.
Once the kindling has burned down to a starter coal bed,
load the unit with approximately 14 lbs of fuel for the first
high burn load.
After the first high burn load and the stove is well warmed
up, adjust the unit as needed for a medium or low burn
setting. For a medium burn, once the high burn fuel load
is burned down to an established coal bed, load the unit
with 16 lbs of cordwood and close the door immediately.
Leave the air control fully open (in the "HI" position) for
5 minutes. After 5 minutes the air control can be put in
the medium setting which is about 1" open from the fully
closed position. For a low fire burn setting, follow the
same procedure as a medium burn for loading and initial
ignition. After 5 minutes of burning, slowing move your
air to the fully closed position. NOTE: The closing down
procedure should take 15 minutes. Do not close the air
too quickly. Closing the air too quickly will cause the unit
to smoke.
