Page 9: Using The Stove
Owner's Guide - Sun Mountain Stoves Using the Stove It is highly recommended that the initial burn of your new stove be done outdoors. The paint used to coat your stove a high temperature paint that is dry upon arrival but has a final cure that happens during the initial burn. This cure will last 20-30 minutes and will produce fumes and some smoke.
Page 10: Use The Correct Fuel
Owner's Guide - Sun Mountain Stoves NEVER place flammable items on or near the stove. NEVER block the fresh air intake ports – this will seriously affect the per- formance of the stove. Use The Correct Fuel The stove burns pelletized wood fuel only. Burning fuels other than wood pelletized fuel is not permitted.
Page 11: Starting The Stove
Owner's Guide - Sun Mountain Stoves Starting the Stove DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO START THE FIRE. Use a hand-held propane torch to ignite your stove. A high quality torch with a squeeze trigger ignition system works best. Before starting the stove, inspect the primary burn chamber, secondary burn plate unit and ashtray for soot build up and cleanliness.

Note that wood pellets may be added to Hopper while the stove is in operation.
Page 14 Owner's Guide - Sun Mountain Stoves Pre Heat the Stove Before lighting the wood pellets, pre-heat the stove, to start an upward air draft. THIS STEP IS CRITICAL FOR A CLEAN START-UP. 1. Fully close the Draft Slide on the bottom tube. 2.
