VER IRE AUTION
Over-firing means the stove is operating at
temperatures above
temperatures outlined above in the BURN RATE
section. Over-firing should be carefully avoided
since it will cause damage to the stove.
Symptoms of over-firing include short burn
times, a roaring sound in the stove or stovepipe,
and discoloration of the stovepipe.
Over-firing can be caused by excessive draft,
inappropriate fuel, and operator error. Correct
an over-fire situation as follows:
EXCESSIVE DRAFT: Contact your
dealer to have a draft reading taken. Any draft
in excess of 0.1 wc requires a damper in the
stovepipe. Some installations may require more
than one damper.
INAPPROPRIATE FUEL: Do not burn
coal, kiln dried lumber, wax logs or anything
other than natural cordwood.
OPERATOR ERROR: Make sure all
the gaskets are in good condition. Replace worn
out or compressed gaskets. Do not burn the
stove with the front, side or ash doors in the
open position.
Monitoring the temperature is the best way to
determine that the stove is over-firing. If you
suspect that your stove is over-firing, contact
your dealer immediately.
over-firing is not covered by your warranty.
Results of over-firing can include: warped or
burned out internal parts, cracked stones,
discolored or warped external parts, and
damaged enamel.
NOTE: ANY SYMPTOMS OF OVER-FIRING
WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY!!

below. Re-insert the ash pan by pushing it in all
the way. Be sure that the ash pan has been
pushed firmly into place. Alternately, the ashes
can be removed with a shovel through the front
door.
Ashes should be dumped from the ash drawer
into a metal container with a tight fitting lid. Do
not place any other items or trash into the metal
container. Replace the lid onto the container
and allow the ashes to cool. Do not place the
ash disposal container on a combustible surface
or vinyl flooring, as the container will be hot!
Pending disposal, place the closed ash container
on a noncombustible floor or on the ground,
well away from all combustible materials.
Ashes should be retained in the closed container
until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
Ashes should NEVER be placed in wooden or
plastic containers, or in paper or plastic bags, no
matter how long the fire has been out. Coals
within a bed of ashes can remain hot for several
days once removed from the firebox.
