Before lighting any fires, become familiar with the
location and operation of your stove's controls and

safety, do not modify these features in any way. We
recommend you use fireplace gloves when the stove
is in operation and hot.

firebox then continue to push the handle in and
down until it latches shut. Gently pull on the door
