The blower has a variable speed control that can be
adjusted in three different positions; either from high (HI) to
low (LO) or closed (OFF).
Allow
the
stove
(approximately one hour) before turning on the blower,
since increased airflow from the blower will remove heat
and affect the start up combustion efficiency.
It is possible to add a heat sensor, sold separately, to the
blower. When the blower is on (position between HI and LO),
the heat sensor will make the blower start automatically
when the stove is hot enough and will stop it when the stove
has cooled down. Therefore, the blower speed control can
be left at the desired setting.

Pedestal Wood Storage
This appliance has been certified to allow
storage in the pedestal, provided the following specifications
are met:
• The logs must never exceed the inside edge (A) of the
pedestal.
• The heat shield (B) under the firebox must not be removed.
• No combustible material may be placed over the heat shield (B).
5. Burning Wood Efficiently
5.1
First Use
Two things happen when burning the first few fires; the paint cures and the internal components are
conditioned. As the paint cures, some of the chemicals vaporize. The vapors are not poisonous,
but they smell bad. Fresh paint fumes can also trigger false alarms in smoke detectors. When
lighting the heater for the first few times, it may be wise to open doors
and windows to ventilate the house.
Burn two or three 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. As hotter and hotter fires are burned, more of the painted
surfaces reach the curing temperature of the paint. The smell of curing
paint does not disappear until one or two very hot fires have been burned.
