Restarting After Extended or Overnight Burns

1. Open door and rake hot embers towards the front of the heater. Add a couple of dry,
split logs on top of embers, close door.
2. Adjust air control to high (left position) and in just a few minutes, logs should begin
burning.
3. After wood has charred, reset air control to desired setting.
4. To achieve maximum firing rate, set control to high (left position). Do not use this setting
other than for starting or preheating fresh fuel loads.

Heat Output Calculation

Seasoned wood has approximately 7500 BTU's per pound.
The calculation is as follows:
Amount of wood in lbs. X 7500BTU's
Burn rate in Hrs.
Experience will give you the right settings for proper combustion and efficient burn-
ing. Remember the correct air inlet setting is affected by variables such as type of
wood, outside temperature, chimney size and weather conditions. With practice,
you will become proficient in operating your heater and will obtain the performance
for which it was designed.

Proper Draft

1. Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up through the chimney. The amount
of draft in your chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby
obstructions and other factors.
2. Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the appliance. An uncontrollable
burn or a glowing red stove part or chimney indicates excessive draft.
3. Inadequate draft may cause backpuffing into the room and plugging of the chimney.
Smoke leaking into the room through appliance and chimney connector joints indicates
inadequate draft.

Ash Removal

Whenever ashes get 3(76mm) to 4(102mm) inches deep in your firebox, and when fire has
burned down and cooled, remove excess ashes. Leave an ash bed approximately 1" (25
mm) deep on the firebox bottom to help maintain a hot charcoal bed.
Ash Chute Operation: Your Alderlea stove is equipped with an ash chute system to ease
removal of ash from the ash lip area. To use this system, first pull out the ash pan approxi-
mately 2"(51mm), sweep the ash into the chute located to the right side of the ash lip, and
close the ash pan.
Ash Cleanout System: The ash dump handle is located under the ash lip on the left hand
side. To operate ash dump, pull handle out 1/2"(12mm) and turn clockwise. This will unlock
the ash dump and allow it to open. Hold handle open while pulling ashes into the opening.
Avoid large embers as these still contain heat value. Release handle and push in to lock.
Ensure ash dump door is properly engaged. Fill the cavity with the remaining ash level with
the firebox floor. Pull out ashpan and discard ashes into metal container. Replace ashpan
and ensure it is seated properly.

DO NOT OVERFIRE THIS HEATER:
Attempts to achieve heat output rates that
exceed heater design specifications can
result in permanent damage to the heater
and chimney.
CAUTION:
Ashes are to be removed only when the
heater is cold.
Do not burn with ash dump door open.
Doing so will create a hazardous
condition. Always leave about 1"(25mm)
of ash when cleaning.
