Do not operate your stove/insert for longer than 30 minutes with the draft control on "HIGH" (fully open). HIGHLOW12345FIGURE 30 ASH FENDER * NOTE: 1100C/1150 and optional EPA Leg Models ash pans are not equipped with a cover or rear folding handle. FIGURE 31 W415-0512 / C 10.02.06 HANDLE FOLDING REAR ROTATE PULL AND TO OPEN: FIRE EXTINGUISHERS / SMOKE DETECTORS All homes with a solid fuel burning fireplace should have at least one fire extinguisher in a central location known to all, and at least one smoke detector in the room containing the fireplace. If it sounds an alarm, correct the cause but do not deactivate or relocate the smoke detector. FUEL LOADING AND BURN CYCLE When loading the stove, ensure that the two upper fibre baffles are not lifted up and off their ledge. For maximum efficiency, when the stove is thoroughly hot, load it fully to the top of the door opening and burn at a medium low setting. Maximum heat for minium fuel (optimum burn) occurs when the stove top temperature beneath the trivet is between 500°F (260°C) and 600°F (315°C). The bricks will be nearly all white and the glass mostly clear. The whiteness of the bricks and the cleanness of the glass are good indicators of your operating efficiency. Not enough heat is produced when only one or two pieces of wood are burned or the wood may not burn completely. A minimum of three pieces are needed to encase a bed of coals that sustains the fire. Loosely stacked wood burns quicker than a tightly packed load. Wood burns in cycles rather than giving a steady output of heat. It is best to plan these cycles around your household routine so that only enough coals are left to start the next load. In the evening, load your stove, at least, a half-hour before bed to ensure a good fire, hot enough to close the draft control for an overnight burn. Burn only dry seasoned wood. It produces more heat and less soot or creosote. Do not burn ocean beach wood. Its salt content can produce a metal eating acid. When refueling open the door slowly to prevent smoke spillage. Use a pair of long gloves (barbecue gloves) when feeding the fire. Because these stoves burn at the front, they are clean and efficient, but they are also very hot and gloves are useful. Keep a small steel shovel nearby to use as a poker and to remove ashes. Do not store the wood within 3 feet (1m) of the stove. FLASH FIRE A flash fire is a small fire burned quickly when you don't need much heat. After your kindling has "caught", load at least 3 pieces of wood, stacked loosely. Burn with the draft control fully open or closed only slightly. EXTENDED FIRE Load your larger pieces of wood compactly, packed close enough to prevent the flames from penetrating it completely. After approximately 30 minutes, depending on the size of the load, close the draft control completely making sure that the fire is not extinguished. DO NOT OVERFIRE THE STOVE! Overfiring can occur by: a) burning large amounts of smaller wood pieces such as furniture scraps, skids or treated wood; b) vigorously burning large loads of wood with the draft control on "HIGH" (fully open) for long periods of time (one or two hours). ASH WELL COVER ROTATE TO CLOSE: PULL HANDLE SMOKING MAINTENANCE SMOKING MAINTENANCE to fireplace flue collar. ASH REMOVAL PROCEDURES Allow the ashes in your firebox to accumulate to a depth of two or three inches; they tend to burn themselves up. When the fire has burned down and cooled, remove any excess ashes but leave an ash bed approximately 1 inch deep on the firebox bottom to help maintain a hot charcoal bed. PEDESTAL UNITS WITH ASH PAN To use your ash pan, pull the ash dump handle forward (FIGURE 31), rotate approximately 90° counterclockwise to the open position. Rake the excess ashes into the ash pan. Close the ash well. NEVER OPERATE YOUR STOVE WITH THE ASH WELL IN AN OPEN POSITION. This creates a fire hazard that may result in a house/chimney fire, internal damage to the stove or discoloration to the gold plated door (plated finishes are not covered by the warranty). To ensure that the ash well is fully closed, allow the door to snap shut, dislodging anything that may be stuck at the opening. Flip the cover up onto the ash pan when transporting the ashes to a closed container with a tight fitting lid for storage. Carry the ash pan using the front and back handles. * FIGURE 31. UNITS WITHOUT ASH PAN Since these models have no ash pan, shovel some ashes out through the door into a metal container with a tight fitting lid. Leave an ash bed approximately 1 inch deep on the firebox bottom to help maintain a hot charcoal bed.Keep the closed container on a noncombustible floor or ground, well away from all combustible materials. The ashes should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. Cold wood ashes can be used on the garden or in the compost.
