B. Adjusting The Blower Speed Control
*If Necessary
*The blower speed control for this unit is adjusted at the
factory, and normally does not require further adjustment.
NOTE: When the speed control is turned clockwise, it will
click on to high speed. Turn the speed control clockwise
to decrease the speed. At full clockwise, the blower
should blow gently, but should not stop.
1. With the stove plugged in, turn the speed control knob
to slow (full clockwise).
2. With a small screwdriver, adjust the blower speed by
turning the adjustment mechanism through the hole on
the side of the speed control.
3. Adjust the speed so the blower runs slowly, but does
not stop. Turn clockwise to slow the blower and
counterclockwise to increase the speed.

A. Over-Firing Your Appliance
Fire Risk
Do not over-fire.
Over-firing may ignite creosote or will damage
the stove and chimney.
To prevent over-firing your stove, DO NOT:
• Use flammable liquids
• Overload with wood
• Burn trash or large amounts of scrap lumber
• Permit too much air to the fire
1. Symptoms of Over-Firing
Symptoms of over-firing may include one or more of the
following:
• Chimney connector or appliance glowing
• Roaring, rumbling noises
• Loud cracking or banging sounds
• Metal warping
• Chimney fire
2. What To Do if Your Stove is Over-Firing
• Immediately close the door and air controls to reduce
air supply to the fire.
• If you suspect a chimney fire, call the fire department
and evacuate your house.
• Contact your local chimney professional and have
your stove and stove pipe inspected for any damage.
• Do not use your stove until the chimney professional

WARNING
• DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO START A
FIRE.
• Do NOT burn treated wood or wood with salt (driftwood).
• May generate carbon monooxide if burn material other
than wood.
May result in illness or possible death.
Hardwood vs Softwood
Your appliance performance depends on the quality of the
firewood you use.
• Seasoned wood contains about 8,000 BTUs per pound .
• Hard woods are more dense than soft woods.
• Hard woods contain 60% more BTUs than soft woods.
• Hard woods require more time to season, burn slower and
are harder to ignite.
• Soft woods require less time to dry, burn faster and are
easier to ignite.
• Start the fire with softwood to bring the appliance up to
operating temperature and to establish draft.
• Add hardwood for slow, even heat and longer burn time.
