4 Operating Your Stove

This stove has been tested for use with an open door in conjunction with a fire screen (AC01318,

sold separately). Make sure the fire screen is properly secured on the stove to avoid any risk of

fire. When the fire screen is used, it is important not to leave the stove unattended to respond

promptly in the event of smoke spillage into the room. Potential causes of smoke spillage are

described in section eight of this manual. See Appendix 5: Installing the Fire Screen (AC01318)

for installation instructions.

OPERATING WITH THE FIRE SCREEN INCREASES POSSIBILITIES OF GENERATING

CARBON MONOXIDE. CARBON MONOXIDE IS AN ODOURLESS GAS THAT IS HIGHLY

TOXIC AND WHICH CAN CAUSE DEATH AT HIGH CONCENTRATION IN AIR.

Two things will happen as you burn your first few fires; the paint cures and the internal components

of the stove are conditioned.

As the paint cures, some of the chemicals vaporize. The vapors are not poisonous, but they do

smell bad. Fresh paint fumes can also cause false alarms in smoke detectors. So, when you first

light your stove, be prepared by opening doors and/or windows to ventilate the house. As you burn

hotter and hotter fires, more of the painted surfaces reach the curing temperature of the paint. The

smell of curing paint does not disappear until you have burned one or two very hot fires.

Burn one or two small fires to begin the curing and conditioning process. Then build bigger and

hotter fires until there is no longer any paint smell from the stove. Once the paint smell disappears,

your stove is ready for serious heating.

Each person who heats with wood develops their own favorite way to light fires. Whatever method

you choose, your goal should be to get a hot fire burning quickly. A fire that starts fast produces

less smoke and deposits less creosote in the chimney. Here are three popular and effective ways

to start wood fires.
