Normal Operation - HearthStone Ambiance Fireplaces Hipster 14 Owner's Manual

These odors will dissipate over time. You can
alleviate these odors by opening a few windows or
otherwise creating additional ventilation around your
stove. If any odor persists, contact your dealer or an
authorized service technician.
If you adhere to the operating procedures in this
manual, the steel, cast iron, and soapstone
components of your stove will give you many years of
trouble-free use. With use, the color of the soapstone
may change and small fractures may appear on the
surface. These changes do not affect the function of
the stove. If a panel breaks completely, it must be
replaced
Avoid the following conditions that can cause the
glass, soapstone, steel or cast iron pieces to break:

Do not throw wood into the stove.

Do not use the door as a lever to force wood into
the stove.

Do not load wood encrusted with ice into a
burning stove - the thermal shock can cause
damage.

Do not use a manufactured log grate or otherwise
support the fuel. Burn the fire directly on the floor
of the firebox.
Protect your hearth
While your stove radiates heat slowly and evenly
when in use, it
condensations when not in use. Specifically, true
with a brand-new stove, but also for stoves during
the off season, your stove and chimney flue has
moisture in it. During the early stages of use and
during certain
condensation can turn to a liquid. This dark liquid
can find a way through the bottom of your stove
and onto your hearth. We recommend placing
some pieces of aluminum foil or other non-
combustible material in the area around each of
the legs of the stove temporarily to catch this
liquid until the moisture has been removed from
the heating system. As the system becomes
seasoned these can be removed for normal use.

1) Open the bypass handle. Open the front door and
place five or six double sheets of tightly twisted
newspaper in the center of the firebox. Arrange
kindling in a crisscross pattern over the
newspaper. Kindling should be approximately
ten pieces, 1/2" (13 mm) in diameter and 10" to
16" (254 mm to 457 mm) long.

2) Fully open the primary air control by pulling the
control handle towards you, away from the
firebox.
3) Light the paper under the kindling. Leave the
door slightly ajar momentarily until the kindling
has started to burn and draft begins to pull.
4) Close the door and allow the fire to burn. Keep
the door closed while the stove is in use.
5) KEEP A WATCHFUL EYE ON YOUR STOVE to
maintain a steady, low-heat fire. Your first fire
should make the stove warm but not hot to the
touch. Visible steam, or boiling moisture and
hissing indicate the soapstone is too hot. At most,
a few small chunks of wood should be added to
the fire to reach safe break-in temperatures.
6) Once the stove is warm but not hot to the touch,
close the primary air control by pushing it fully
inward toward the stove to allow the fire to die out
completely.
7) Let the stove return to room temperature.
Your first fire and first fire each season thereafter
should be built and maintained as outlined above.
Your patience will be rewarded by a properly
seasoned stove.

NOTE: The cool flue gas temperatures
present during the break-in procedure may
cause rapid creosote build-up.
glass may also get dirty. A good hot fire will
clean it. We recommend a visual inspection
(and cleaning if necessary) of your stovepipe
and chimney once the break-in procedure is
this
completed.
