The maximum heat output for the
MAGNU

'I.
e is achieved by burning with the doors closed and the damper
nnd combustion air controls fully opened. By this met hod , the
MAG
NUM ZC can produce 85,000+ BTU's
of
heat per hour. It will be necessary to reload with wood every one to two hours. This is the least efficient method
of'b urnlng the
MAG
NUM ZC and must not be done for long periods of time.
Usc caution when firing
with the dampe r control wide open. Only bum hard eordwood in
this
mann
er
. Never
bum scra p
wood or softwood in this manner. Damage to the firebox or chimney fires cou ld occur.
Do not overfill with wood in an attempt to prolong reloading lime. Too much wood may cause an over fire
condition damaging
the fireplace. Never load over 3-4 pieces

COMBUS T/ON
This is the recommended way to operate your
MAG
NUI\I ZC to achieve the highest level of efficiency and the
least amount of creosote on the
glass and in the chimney.
The damper control should
he approximately 2/3 closed and the combustion air 2/3 to fully open. Th e precise
selling
will depend on many factors, including chimney height, house
air
tightness and the moisture conlent of
the wood.
Three (3) to fou r (4) medium size pieces
of
split wood (ranging from 4" to 8" in diameter should be
burning on a bed
of
hot coals. The heat output will be approximately 65,000 BTU per hour and the loading time
will
be 3 1
04
hou rs. Softwoods may be burned using this method but bum time will
be
substantially reduced.

OMIlUSTION
Place four (4) to six (6) pieces
of
split wood six (6) inches or greater in diameter on top of a hot bed
of
coals.
Close the dam per control
213
to fully closed lind adjust the
combu
stion ai r control 2/3 closed. Th is method of
burning should
be used only after operating the
MAG
NUM ze with the damper control opcn to produce a hot
fire (sec R
ef
ueling For Best Performance). Creosote from the fire may accumulate on the glass doors unless the
firebox is hot.
Sl
ow
combustion can be used at night in
or
der to reduce the heat output and 10 prolong the bum. Although
active burning will appear to cease after 4 to 6 hours, a bed of hot coals wilt continue to bum and prod uce heal.
Thes
e coals will remain hot throughout the night and will facilitate re-light ing the fire the next morning.
This method
of
operation will accelerate creosote accumulation in the chimney. Therefore, it will be nec essary to
inspect and clean the chimney more frequently.
