Operating Instructions

Control of primary and secondary air
admission
When the handle on the side of the stove is vertical, the air
admission is only from the tube. This is what we called
"Secondary air admission". When the handle is horizontal, the
air admission is direct and from the top of the door opening,
which we call "Primary air Admission".
NEVER USE GRATE OR ANYTHINGS ELSE TO ELEVATE
THE FIRE, make fire directly on firebricks
Warning: Running your stove with the Primary air
admission at the maximum for a long period of time, can
damage the stove.
IT IS PROHIBITED TO MODIFY THE AIR ADMISSION TO
OBTAIN HIGHER HEAT OR FOR ANY OTHER REASON.
OPERATE ONLY WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED: Keeping the
door open might over fire and cause permanent damage to
the stove or a chimney fire.

Lightning fire

After installing correctly the stove following the installation
instruction of the manufacturer, you are ready to light it.
1) Turn the admission handle to the horizontal position to
set the primary air admission.
2) Put paper and lightning wood into the combustion
chamber and light them as you do normally.
3) Close the door partially leaving a slight opening. When
chimney have enough heat buildup, close the door
completely keeping the admission handle at the
horizontal position. Wait for a good fire buildup.
Once you have an ember fire, it's time to add logs.
4)
Follow now the instruction section on how to keep a fire
DO NOT LOAD THE STOVE OVER THE UPPER BRICK
ROW
You can control the combustion by turning up or down the
handle. The wood will burn more rapidly when more primary air
is set. Otherwise the wood burn more slowly and more efficiently
with the handle set to secondary air.
NEVER LEAVE THE STOVE UNATTENDED WHEN THE
DOOR IS SIGHTLY OPEN. ALWAYS CLOSE THE DOOR
AFTER LIGHTNING.
CAUTION: NEVER USE GAZOLINE, GAZOLINE TYPE
LANTERN FUEL, KEROSEN, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID,
OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR "FRESHEN UP" THE
FIRE IN THIS HEATER. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS AWAY
FROM THE HEATER WHILE IT IS IN USE. DO NOT BUILD
THE FIRE NEAR THE FRONT GLASS.

First fire

For the first hours of operation, you must heat your appliance
gradually. In order to allow an appropriate baking of the paint
and to facilitate its adhesion with metal, do not heat the
appliance with a strong fire. It will also avoid thermal shock which
could lift up the paint or make the color fade. Make sure that the
room is ventilated enough in order to eliminate the odor and the
smoke coming from the paint. It is normal that a light smoke is
released from the paint for the first time.
Even if this nuisance is temporary, open the windows and the
doors in order to ensure a good ventilation. This special paint is
conceived to tolerate temperatures until 1200°F (650°C).

Keeping a fire

To add firewood into the stove and keep a fire:
1) Turn the handle to horizontal position and wait a few second
to let the fire adjust to the new condition.
2) Turn the handle to the first position and wait a few second
to balance pressure to avoid smoke coming out from stove.
3) Put the handle at the full-open position and open the door
half-open. Wait for the fire to get stable.
4) Open the door widely.
5) Move embers with poker near the door to supply oxygen
and burn them completely
6) Add firewood over the ember keeping it away from the glass
door to avoid flame touching the ceramic glass.
ATTENTION: DO NOT LOAD THE STOVE OVER THE
LEVEL OF FIREBRICKS. DO NOT BUILD THE FIRE NEAR
THE DOOR GLASS.
7) Close the door slightly and leave the wood burning.
8) Once the fire gets stable, close the door completely.
9) Adjust the air admission handle if necessary.
NEVER LEAVE THE STOVE UNATTENDED WHEN THE
DOOR IS SIGHTLY OPEN. ALWAYS CLOSE THE DOOR
AFTER ADDING A LOAD.
CAUTION: NEVER USE GAZOLINE, GAZOLINE TYPE
LANTERN FUEL, KEROSEN, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID
OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START AND "FRESHEN UP" THE
FIRE IN THIS HEATER. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS AWAY
FROM THE HEATER WHILE IT IS IN USE.

When it's on, the fan goes off at the moment when the
temperature of ventilation box gets higher than 120 Fahrenheit
(49 degree Celsius).
