STARTING THE FIRE.
1. Place several crumpled newspaper pages on the
firebox floor.
2. Cover the paper with several pieces of kindling.
The kindling should be less than 1" in diameter,
well seasoned, dry, split firewood.
5. Close the door to prevent smoke spillage but do
not latch. This allows extra air into the firebox
for start-up while preheating the glass to help
keep it cleaner.
6. Once the kindling is burning, place three or four
small pieces of firewood, two or three inches in
diameter on the fire, close the door and latch.
NOTE: If the chimney flue is cold due to low
outside temperatures, several pieces of crum-
pled paper on top of the fuel may help establish
a draft in the flue.
