The Stove

After First Week of Burning:

• Check damper ramp adjustment and damper tightness.

When closing the damper, there should be a distinct stop

asthehandlerotatestotheclosedposition.Ifthedamper

handle does not click over into the closed position or if

the damper falls open on its own after manually closing

the damper, the damper ramp needs to be tightened to

ensure damper sealing and positive engagement of the

damper system. Refer to page 16 for instructions on how

to adjust the damper ramp.

the ash pan. Check accumulation at least once a day.

• Keep the area around the stove clear of any combustible

materials such as wood, furniture or clothing.

Two Months:

• Check door handle to be sure it is working properly.

Gasketing becomes compressed after a period of time.

necessary.

CAUTION

BURN UNTREATED WOOD ONLY. OTHER MATERIALS

SUCH AS WOOD PRESERVATIVES, METALS, FOILS,

COAL, PLASTIC, GARBAGE, SULPHUR, OR OIL, MAY

DAMAGE THE CATALYST.

The Dauntless FlexBurn® is designed to burn equally well

withorwithoutacatalyticcombustor(Part#SRV8346-006),

howeverhighere󰀩ciencieswillbeachievedwhenoperating

with the catalyst. The following section only applies if the

catalyticperformancepack(#0003406)hasbeenpurchased

and installed. The Dauntless FlexBurn® is designed and

certiedtofunctionwithorwithoutacatalyst.Intheevent

thecombustorbecomesnon-functioningthecombustorcan

either be replaced or removed completely.

Ifanon-activecatalystisleftinstalledintheunit,itwillburn

sluggishly and produce noticeable smoke at the outlet of

the venting system. The simplest situation in that case is to

removethedeactivatedcatalystandoperatetheunitasnon-

catalytic. The catalyst can then be replaced as time allows

without producing a smoky burn or low heat output.

Under normal operating conditions, the catalytic combustor

shouldremainactiveforvetosevenyears(dependingonthe

amountofwoodburned).However,itisimportanttomonitor

the combustor periodically to ensure that it is functioning

properly, as well as to determine when it needs to be replaced.
