The blower has a rheostat that can be adjusted in three different
positions; either from high (HI) to low (LO) or closed (OFF).
Allow the stove to reach operating temperature (approximately
one hour) before turning on the blower, since increased airflow
from the blower will remove heat and affect the start up
combustion efficiency.
The blower can also be equipped with a heat sensor, sold
seperatly. When the blower is ON, it will start automatically
when the stove is hot enough and it will stop when the stove
has cooled down. Therefore, the blower speed control can be
left at the desired setting.

4.3 Wood Storage in the Pedestal

This stove has been certified to store logs
in the pedestal provided that the following
requirements are met:
• The logs must not exceed the inside edge (A)
of the pedestal.
• The heat shield baffle (B) under the firebox
must never be removed.
• No combustible material can be placed above
the heat shield baffle (B).

5. Burning Wood Efficiently

5.1 First Use

Two things will happen when burning the first few fires; the paint cures and the internal
components of the stove are conditioned.
As the paint cures, some of the chemicals vaporize. The vapors are not poisonous, but they do
smell bad. Fresh paint fumes can also cause false alarms in smoke detectors.
So, when lighting the stove, be prepared by opening doors or windows to ventilate the house.
Burn one or two small fires to begin the curing and conditioning process. Then build bigger and
hotter fires until there is no longer paint smell from the stove.
