Starting a Fire

Since the dawn of time man has debated the best way to start a fire. Some use the boy-scout "tee-pee",

some prefer the "tic-tac-toe" stack. Either way, review the hints and warnings below to ensure proper fire

starting.

• Make sure the air control is pushed in. If additional air is needed, open the doors 1/4" during the first

five minutes of start-up.

Never

use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start

or "freshen up" a fire in this stove. Keep all such liquids well away from the stove while it is in use.

DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO START THE FIRE. DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR

FLAMMABLE FLUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA OR ENGINE OIL. Do not place such fuel

within space heater installation clearances or within the space required for charging and ash removal.

If using a firestarter, use only products specifically designed for stoves - follow the manufacturer's

instructions carefully.

HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. KEEP CHILDREN, CLOTHING AND FURNITURE AWAY. CONTACT

MAY CAUSE SKIN BURNS.

If the smoke does not pass up the chimney, ball up one sheet of newspaper, place it in the center of the

firebox and light it. This should start the chimney drafting (this eliminates "cold air blockage").

Use plenty of kindling to ensure the stove reaches a proper temperature. Once the kindling is burning

rapidly, place a few larger pieces of wood onto the fire.
