Over-firing may lead to damage of plated surfaces. If you are uncertain of over-firing conditions, we suggest placing a stove thermometer (e.g. Rutland® Model 710) directly over the door on the stove top - temperatures exceeding 800° are generally considered over-firing and will void the warranty. © Travis Industries 100-01435 4151218... - Page 16 To prevent smoke from entering the room, open the bypass before opening the door (see following page for directions).

Page 18: Starting A Fire
This should start the chimney drafting (this eliminates "cold air blockage"). Use plenty of kindling to ensure the stove reaches a proper temperature. Once the kindling is burning rapidly, place a few larger pieces of wood onto the fire. © Travis Industries 100-01435 4151218... -
Page 19: Adjusting The Burn Rate
The air control becomes hot during operation - use gloves or a tool to prevent burns. The air control may take several minutes to influence the burn rate. When making adjustments, you may wish to let the stove burn for 10 minutes to gauge performance. © Travis Industries 100-01435 4151218... - Page 20 © Travis Industries 100-01435...

For stubborn creosote, dip a moist paper towel or newspaper in cold ash before cleaning. The ash acts as a mild abrasive. The glass will develop a very slight haze over time. This is normal and will not affect viewing of the fire. © Travis Industries 100-01435 4151218... -
Page 27: Monthly Maintenance
Excess creosote buildup may cause a chimney fire, that may result in property damage, injury, or death. Operating this appliance continually at a low burn rate (air starvation) or using green (un-seasoned wood) will increase the formation of creosote. © Travis Industries 100-01435 4151218... -
