DO NOT BURN: Treated wood, solvents, trash, coal, garbage, cardboard, colored paper

NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID,

OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR “FRESHEN UP” A FIRE IN THIS HEATER. KEEP ALL SUCH

LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM THE HEATER WHILE IT IS IN USE

INSTRUCTION FOR FIRST BURN – CURING THE INSERT PAINT

Your insert has been painted with the highest quality insert paint and has special break-in procedures. The heat generated

by the normal operation of the insert, will serve to harden the paint.

Ventilate the house during the ﬁ rst three times the insert is used. The paint on the insert will give off smoke, carbon

dioxide and an odor. Without adequate ventilation, concentrations of smoke could irritate, or be upsetting. Open doors

and windows and use a fan if necessary. After the initial burns the paint will be cured and there should be no more

smoke. Each of the initial burns should be conducted as follows:

A) The ﬁ rst two burns should be at approximately 250° F (120° C) for approximately 20 minutes.

B) The third burn should be between 500° F and 700° F (260° to 370° C) for at least 45 minutes. The important fact is

the paint should be cured slowly. Avoid hot ﬁ res during the curing process.

The best way to achieve the ﬁ rst burn is with kindling ﬁ res. Prolong the ﬁ res as needed by adding more kindling. During

the curing process the paint may be gummy. Once cured the paint will remain hard. It is normal to see ﬂ at spots on

painted surfaces of the insert. The ﬂ at spots on the paint surface indicate the hotter surfaces of the insert, and is caused by

the heat radiating through the paint. It is also expected that shiny spots caused by friction from the packaging materials,

will disappear during the curing of the insert.

So:

1. Remember to ventilate well.

2. Allow the insert to cure before burning for long periods at high temperatures.

3. Flat spots on the painted surfaces are normal.

4. Shiny spots on the paint surface before burning is normal.

5. Call your dealer if you have any questions.

BUILDING A FIRE

1. Open inlet air control fully.

2. Place a small amount of crumpled paper in the insert.

3. Cover the paper with a generous amount of kindling wood

in a teepee fashion and a few small pieces of wood.

4. Ignite the paper and close door. If ﬁ re dies down substan-

tially, open door slightly.

5. Add larger pieces of wood as the ﬁ re progresses being careful

not to overload. Do not ﬁ ll ﬁ rebox beyond ﬁ rebrick area.

An ideal coal bed of 1" (25mm) to 2" (50mm) should be

established to achieve optimum performance.

6. This unit is designed to function most effectively when air

is allowed to circulate to all areas of the ﬁ rebox.

7. Once fuel has been loaded, close door and open air inlet

control fully until ﬁ re is well established (approx. 10 min-

utes) being careful not to over ﬁ re.
