WARNING
!
• This appliance is designed to burn natural wood only. Do not burn treated wood, coal, charcoal, coloured
paper, cardboard, solvents or garbage. This appliance has not been tested with an unvented gas log set. To
reduce risk of fi re or injury, do not install an unvented gas log set into the appliance.
• Higher effi ciencies and lower emissions generally result when burning air dried seasoned hardwoods, as
compared to softwoods or too green or freshly cut hardwoods.
• Burning wet, unseasoned wood can cause excessive creostore accumulation. When ignited, it can cause a
chimney fi re that may result in a serious house fi re.
• Do not store fuel within the clearance to combustibles, or in the space required for re-fueling and ash removal.
Before loading the appliance, ensure all required insulation and baffl es are installed and situated properly. For maximum
effi ciency, when the appliance is thoroughly hot, load it fully to the specifi ed maximum amount and burn at a medium low
setting (if equipped). The whiteness of the bricks and the cleanliness of the glass are good indicators of your operating
effi ciency. Not enough heat is produced when only a few pieces of wood are burned or the wood may not burn completely.
NOTE: When loading the appliance, ensure to keep fuel back from the glass. If coals are to accumulate on the
front lip, there is a chance they will fall out when the door is opened.
TYPES OF WOOD
Both hardwood and softwood burn equally well in
this appliance but hardwood is denser, will weigh
more per cord and burn a little slower and longer.
Manufactured fi relogs made by compressing 100%
natural wood fi bre can be safely used as fuel.
Do not use manufactured fi relogs if they contain
additives such as paraffi n, wax, binders etc. Never
burn more than two manufactured fi relogs at a
time.
MOISTURE CONTENT
Burn only dry, clean unpainted wood that has been
seasoned. It produces more heat and less soot or
creosote. Freshly cut wood contains about 50%
moisture while after proper seasoning only about
20% of the water remains. As wood is burned,
this water boils off consuming energy that should be used in heating. The wetter the wood, the less heat is given off and
the more creosote is produced. Dry fi rewood has cracks in the end of the grain.
STORING WOOD
Firewood should be split and stacked in a manner that allows for full air circulation and covered in early spring to be ready
for burning that fall. Dry fi rewood has cracks in the end grain.
Cut the wood so that it will fi t horizontally, front to back, making for easier loading and less of a likelihood that the wood will
roll onto the glass.
Fuel for the appliance must not be stored closer than the required clearances to combustibles (heat sensitive material).
NEVER STORE WOOD IN THE ASH PAN COMPARTMENT (if applicable).
