OPERATION
Once your INVICTA is installed, you are ready to light
a fire.
Every installation, season’s firewood, and operator’s
technique varies. Learn how to use your stove most
efficiently for your installation. We can give you the
basic principles, but only you can ensure maximizing
the potential of your stove while also operating it
safely.
WARNING : HOT WHILE IN OPERATION ! KEEP
CHILDREN, PETS, CLOTHING AND FURNITURE
AWAY. CONTACT MAY CAUSE SKIN BURNS.
Read this entire chapter before lighting your first fire.
It explains the controls and features of your wood
stove, how to choose firewood, and how to use your
stove on a daily basis.
CONTROLS AND FEATURES
Before lighting any fires, become familiar with the
location and operation of your stove's controls and
features and learn how to use them (See Figure 10).
For your own safety, do not modify these features in
any way. We recommend you use fireplace gloves
when the stove is in operation and hot.
Figure 10 - Controls & Features
OPENING THE DOOR
A glove is provided with your stove. Use it always
when manipulating the door opening tool (cold
hand). Always remove and place the cold hand away
but close by the stove when not using it. Never let
the cold hand hung in position to the stove. Burn
may occur.
BURN RATE: This wood heater has a manufacturer
pre-set burn rate that must not be altered. It is
against federal regulations to alter this setting or
otherwise operate this wood heater in a manner
inconsistent with operating instructions in this
manual.’’
CHOOSING FIREWOOD
Burn only natural firewood (known as cordwood) in
this INVICTA Wood Heater. This stove is not
designed to burn other fuels.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR
FLAMMABLE FLUIDS TO START THE FIRE. DO
NOT USE CHARCOAL, PELLETS, COAL,
ARTIFICIAL LOGS OR ANY OTHER MATERIALS
AS FUEL; THEY ARE NOT SAFE. DO NOT BURN
GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS.
THE USE OF UNAUTHORIZED FUEL SUCH AS
COAL COULD PRODUCE HIGH LEVELS OF
CARBON DIOXIDE IN THE LIVING SPACE. AT
HIGH LEVELS CARBON DIOXIDE COULD RESULT
IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
The quality of your firewood directly affects heat
output, duration of burn and performance of your
stove. Softwoods generally burn hotter and faster,
while hardwoods burn longer and produce better
coals. Density and moisture content are two critical
factors to consider when purchasing wood.
The following is a list of some wood species and their
relative BTU (British Thermal Unit) content. The
higher the BTU content, the longer the burn. Firewood
with higher BTUs is generally ideal for a wood stove.
Burn untreated wood only. Other materials such as
wood preservatives, metal foils, coal, plastic,
garbage, sulphur, or oil may create creosote.
