Operation; First Fire - England's Stove Works 28-4000 Guide D'installation Et D'utilisation

OPERATION

Building a Fire – Following these guidelines will help ensure a proper fire, as well
as helping minimize visible emissions.
WARNING: Do not operate unit with bottom (ash) pan open. Operating unit with
ash pan open can cause over-firing and damage the unit, and will void any
warranty.
Except as specified in "Operating Instructions," do not operate unit with main door
open.
CAUTION: Do not use a grate or elevate the fire. Build the wood fire
directly on the bricks. When the stove is used for the first time, solvents in
the paint will smoke off as the stove "cures."
Notice: The surface of your new furnace and the connector pipe may initially
smoke for a short time, this is no cause for alarm. This is called "cooking out," and
it is advisable to open doors and windows in your dwelling during the first two hours
(approximately) of operation.
WOOD –
This heater is designed to burn natural wood only.
emissions generally result when burning air-dried seasoned hardwood, as compared to
softwood or to green or freshly-cut hardwood.
Use only dry, seasoned wood. Green wood, besides burning at only 60 percent of the
fuel value of dry wood, deposits creosote on the inside of the stove and along the
chimney. This can cause extreme danger of chimney fire. To be called "seasoned,"
wood must be dried for a year. Regardless of whether the wood is green or seasoned,
it should be stored in a ventilated, sheltered area to allow proper drying during the year.
Wood should be stored beyond recommended clearances from combustibles.
Establish a routine for the storage of fuel, care of the appliance, and firing techniques.
Check daily for creosote build up until experience shows how often cleaning is necessary.
Be aware that the hotter the fire, the less creosote is deposited, and that weekly cleaning
may be needed in mild weather, even though monthly cleaning may be enough in the
coldest months. A small intense fire is preferable to a large smoldering fire to reduce the
amount of creosote deposition. Have a clearly understood plan to handle a chimney fire.
DO NOT BURN: Treated Wood, Garbage, Solvents, Trash, Cardboard, Colored Paper
or Coal.
FIRST FIRE –
 Remember to ventilate well.
 Allow the stove to cure before burning for long periods of time at high
temperatures.
