Zero Clearance Stove
USE RICE COAL ONLY.
Starting Fire
DO NOT USE AN ACCELERANT SUCH AS: gasoline, kerosene, litter fluid, or
etc. When thermostat is set higher than room temperature the stoker unit should be
running. Find coal feed adjuster (painted white) on stoker unit, and while it is
withdrawing, (moving toward you) turn nut counter-clockwise as far as it will go.
USE FINGERS ONLY. Never use a wrench on the feed adjuster. Pull power
cord from outlet. Fill hopper, slide coal down onto grate, covering entire grate.
Light kindling, and plug cord in. When kindling is burning well, throw a few
hands full of coal onto fire. After fire is established, turn coal feed adjuster in
about 8 full turns, (clockwise). Remember; make coal feed adjustment with
fingers only, while pusher is moving toward you. Further coal feed adjustment
should be made, so that when stoker unit is running to satisfy thermostat, you have
a full grate of fire, except for the last two inches of grate. The lower part of grate
should have ash covering it. To fine tune the coal feed, turn the white feed adjuster
nut clockwise for more coal feed or counter-clockwise for less. Turn adjuster nut
one or two full turns per day, until best results are obtained. It is not necessary to
readjust coal feed to start another fire. Some smoke may be visible when starting
fire, but it should not persist.
After a fire has been established, remove allen set screw, a draft reading must now
be taken. Insert draft gauge in hole provided to the right side of ash door. Draft
should be a -.02.
CAUTION: Failure to install, maintain and/or operate the venting system in
accordance with manufacturer's instructions could result in conditions which may
produce injury and/or property damage.
The stove is equipped with a safety switch. (Fume switch) If hot coal gases are not
vented outdoors, the safety switch will trip out on reset shutting off stoker unit.
The fire will go out and cannot be restarted until reset on safety switch is manually
reset. If safety switch trips out frequently, it is caused by:
Restricted or blocked vent tube between stove and exhaust fan. Brush or vacuum
tube. Restricted or blocked exhaust pipe from stove to outside of home. Clean
exhaust pipe.
