Before lighting any fires, become familiar with
the location, and operation, of your stove's
controls and features. Learn how to use them to
maximize the efficiency of your stove. For your
own safety, do not modify these controls or
features in any way.
PRIMARY AIR CONTROL:
located on the lower front left side of the stove.
The primary air control allows you to regulate
the amount of air entering the firebox.
Generally, the more air allowed into the firebox,
the faster and hotter the rate of burn; conversely,
less air creates a slower burn. To fully open the
primary air intake, push the handle to the left;
push the handle to the right to close the primary
air control.
ASH PAN: The ash pan, and ash pan access
door, is located under the ash lip. The ash pan
collects ash from the fire and allows you to
conveniently remove the ash from your wood

stove.
Clear the firebox of ashes daily by
sliding the ash grate sideways, sifting the ashes
across the grate into the ash pan, then returning
the grate to its closed position. The ash pan is
easy to remove and has a handle for convenient
disposal of ashes. The back of the ash pan
assembly is sloped upwards. Before removing
the ash pan, push it (hard!) into the stove to
force the pan up the slope; this kicks the ashes
further into the pan.
Do not operate the stove unless the ash pan is
inserted into the stove and the ash door is
closed. Running the stove with the ash door
open could overheat and damage the stove.
