I. Starting a Fire

Check the ue damper to be certain it is in the full open po-

sition. Place crumpled or twisted paper under the replace

grate. Loosely arrange kindling or small pieces of wood to

form a layer above the paper.

The res must be built on the replace grate, without danger

of the burning fuel falling out of the replace opening.

Light the paper and add small pieces of wood until a hot bed

of embers has been established.

After establishing the re bed, and the small rewood is burn-

ing briskly, add a minimum of three average sized pieces of

split rewood, place the wood in such a manner to allow

combustion air and ames between them.

Note: The rst three or four res should be of moderate

size to allow the oils and binders to be burned from the

replace and the refractory and paint to cure. You may

notice an industrial odor the rst few res. This is considered

normal.

Note: When rst lighting your replace, it may be necessary

to pre-warm the ue to establish a draft. This is done by

holding a rolled up piece of burning newspaper under the

ue damper for a few moments. This will help reduce smoke

spillage during start-up.

Odors and vapors re leased d uring initial

operation.

• Curing of high temperature paint.

• Open windows for air circulation.

Odors may be irritating to sensitive individuals.

CAUTION
