• Before beginning your installation, consult with your local building code agency or fi re offi cials and
insurance representative to ensure compliance.

• Non-toxic smoke will be emitted during the paint curing process, to help dissipate the smoke open a
window near the appliance.
• Remove any dust or debris off the top of the appliance before fi ring the appliance as the paint will
become soft as the appliance heats up and will harden as the appliance cures. To cure the paint on
your appliance burn your appliance moderately hot during the fi rst few fi res.
• To keep the gasket from sticking to the appliance as the paint is curing, periodically open the door
every 5-10 minutes.
• For the fi rst two weeks use generous amounts of fuel and burn the appliance with the damper wide
open for an hour as the appliance goes through a process of eliminating moisture in the steel and
fi rebricks. The initial heat output will be reduced while the moisture is being drawn from the appliance
and it will be necessary to build several hot fi res to remove this moisture. DURING THIS PROCESS
DO NOT OVER FIRE THE APPLIANCE. REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF AIR COMING INTO THE
APPLIANCE IF THE APPLIANCE OR CHIMNEY BECOMES RED.

GENERAL INFORMATION

DO NOT OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE WITHOUT THE PEDESTAL INSTALLED.
Your appliance has been specifi cally designed over many months of research to meet the 1990 U.S.A. EPA
particulate emission standards and have been extensively tested in Canadian and American laboratories. This
system is the most effi cient, simple and trouble free we know and works as follows:
The chimney vent system used on your wood burning appliance should be designed with the least amount of
restriction possible to enable the exhaust products to easily fl ow through it. Chimney vent systems that are too
short or too long can also have an adverse affect on the fl ow of exhaust through it. The wood burning appliance
and chimney vent system also require a suffi cient supply of combustion air not only to support the combustion in the
combustion chamber but to replace the exhaust leaving it so it can fl ow freely up through the vent system and out
into the atmosphere. It is the correct balance of combustion air and the chimney vent system that will ensure the
appliance provides you with its optimum performance.
Combustion air enters through two holes in the bottom
which can be adjusted by a single air control. Air from
the front hole goes up on either side of the door into a
preheating airwash located across the top and then down
the window to feed the fi re and also to ensure that the
glass remains clean. Air from this hole also feeds directly
into the combustion chamber at hearth level. Secondary
air from the rear hole travels up the back in the secondary
air housing to the manifold located at the top and shoots
out laterally to oxidize the gases below the smoke exit.
The combustion chamber is lined with high temperature
fi rebrick on 2 sides, the back and across the bottom,
with a layer of fi bre baffl es at the top to maintain a
high temperature in the combustion chamber so that
gases mixing with the preheated air from the secondary
air manifold tube are easily ignited and burned. The
appliance sides and back are shielded to direct the heat
upwards and forwards into the room.
Be sure to provide suffi cient combustion air. There are many other appliances in your home competing for air such
as: a kitchen range hood, forced air heating devices or a bathroom exhaust fan.
