ASH DISPOSAL

During constant use, ashes should be removed

every few days. Please take care to prevent the

build-up of ash around the start-up air housing

located inside the ﬁ rebox, under the loading

door lip.

DO NOT ALLOW ASHES TO BUILD UP TO

THE LOADING DOORS.

Only remove ashes when the ﬁ re has died down.

Even then, expect to ﬁ nd a few hot embers.

Always leave 1 to 2 inches of ash in the bottom

of the ﬁ rebox. This helps in easier starting and

a more uniform burn of your ﬁ re.

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with

a tight ﬁ tting lid. The closed container of ashes

should be placed on a noncombustible ﬂ oor or

on the ground, well away from all combustible

materials, pending ﬁ nal disposal. If the ashes

are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise

locally dispersed, they should be retained in the

closed container until all cinders have thoroughly

cooled. Other waste should not be placed in the

ash container.

Removal for Cleaning

Removal of your insert for cleaning purposes

is usually not required if a proper installation

has been done. In the event that removal is re-

quired, be sure not to damage any parts needed

for re-installation. In most cases removal and

replacement of the bafﬂ e system should allow

full access for cleaning.

WARNING: Things to remember in case

of chimney ﬁ re:

1) Close draft control

2) Call the Fire Department

Ways to Prevent and

Keep Unit Free of Creosote

1) Burn insert with draft control wide open for

about 45 minutes every morning during burn-

ing season. This helps to prevent creosote

deposits within the heating system.

2) Burn insert with draft control wide open for

about 10 - 15 minutes every time you add

fresh wood. This allows the wood to achieve

the charcoal stage faster and burns up any

wood vapors which might otherwise be

deposited within the system.

3) Only burn seasoned wood! Do not burn

wet or green wood. Seasoned wood that

has been dried at least one year must be

used.

4) A small hot ﬁ re is preferable to a large

smouldering one that can deposit creosote

within the system.

5) Check the chimney at least twice a month

during the burning season for creosote

build-up.

6) Have chimney system and unit cleaned

by competent chimney sweeps twice a

year during the ﬁ rst year of use and at

least once a year thereafter or when a

signiﬁ cant layer of creosote has accu-

mulated (3mm / 1/8" or more) it should be

removed to reduce the risk of a chimney

ﬁ re.

CREOSOTE

When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and

other organic vapors, which form creosote when

combined with moisture. The creosote vapors

condense in the relatively cool chimney ﬂ ue of a

slow-burning ﬁ re. As a result, creosote residue

accumulates on the ﬂ ue lining. When ignited, this

creosote can make an extremely hot ﬁ re.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

FAN OPERATION

The fan is to be operated only with the draft

control rod pulled out at least 1/2" from the

fully closed position. The fan is not to be oper-

ated when the draft control rod is in the closed

position (pushed in). The fully closed position is

the low burn setting.

The fan unit must not be turned on until a ﬁ re

has been burning for at least 30 minutes and

the unit is hot enough. As well, after each fuel

loading the fan must be shut off until 30 minutes

has elapsed.

To operate fan automatically, push switch on

side of fan housing to "Auto" and second switch

to either "High" or "Low" for fan speed. The

automatic temperature sensor will engage the

blower when the unit is at temperature and will

shut off the blower once the ﬁ re has gone out

and the unit has cooled to below a useful heat

output range.

To manually operate the fan system, push the

ﬁ rst switch to "Man" and second switch to either

"high" or "Low". This will bypass the sensing

device and allow full control of the fan. Switching

from "Auto" to "Manual" or "High" to "Low" may

be done at any time.

9) During the ﬁ rst few hours it may be more

difﬁ cult to start the ﬁ re. As you dry out

your ﬁ re brick and your masonry ﬂ ue (if

applicable), your draft will increase.

10) For those units installed at higher elevations

or into sub-standard masonry ﬁ replaces,

drafting problems may occur. Consult an

experienced dealer or mason on methods

of increasing your draft.

11) Some cracking and popping noises may be

experienced during the heating up process.

These noises will be minimal when your unit

reaches temperature.

12) Before opening your door to reload, open

draft fully for approximately 10 to 15 seconds

until ﬁ re has been re-established. This will

minimize any smoking.

13) All fuel burning appliances consume oxygen

during operation. It is important that you

supply a source of fresh air to your unit

while burning. A slightly opened window is

sufﬁ cient for this purpose.

CAUTION: If the body of your unit

starts to glow you are overﬁ ring.

Stop loading fuel immediately and

close the draft control until the glow

has completely subsided.

14) Green or wet wood is not recommended for

your unit. If you must add wet or green fuel,

open the draft control fully until all moisture

has been dispersed by the intense ﬁ re.

Once all moisture has been removed, the

draft control may be adjusted to maintain

the ﬁ re.

15) If you have been burning your insert on a

low draft, use caution when opening the

door. After opening the damper, open the

door a crack, and allow the ﬁ re to adjust

before fully opening the door.

16) The controls of your unit should not be

altered to increase ﬁ ring for any reason.

WOOD STORAGE

Store wood under cover, such as in a shed, or

covered with a tarp, plastic, tar paper, sheets

of scrap plywood etc., as uncovered wood can

absorb water from rain or snow, delaying the

seasoning process.
