There are many ways to build a re. The basic principle
is to light easily-ignitable tinder or paper, which ignites
the fast burning kindling, which in turn ignites the slow-
burningrewood.
Here is one method that works well:
1. Activate ACC.
2. Placeseveralwadsofcrushedpaperonthereboxoor.
Heatingtheuewithslightlycrumplednewspaperbefore
adding kindling keeps smoke to a minimum.
3. Lay small dry sticks of kindling on top of the paper.
4. Make sure that no matches or other combustibles are in
the immediate area of the appliance. Be sure the room is
ventilatedandtheueunobstructed.
5. Lightthepaperintheappliance.NEVERlightorrekindle
rewithkerosene,gasoline,orcharcoallighteruid;the
results can be fatal.
6. Once the kindling is burning quickly, add several full-
lengthlogs3to4inches(76-102mm)indiameter.Be
carefulnottosmotherthere.Stackthepiecesofwood
1/2 to 1 inch apart (13-25mm); near enough to keep
each other hot, but far enough away from each other to
allowairowbetweenthem.
7. Activate the timer system (ACC).
- This livens up the coal bed and reduces excessive
emissions (opacity/smoke).
- Opendoorslowlysothatashorsmokedoesnotexit
appliance through opening.
- Largelogsburnslowly,holdingarelonger.
- Smalllogsburnfastandhot,givingquickheat.
8. As long as there are hot coals, repeating steps 6 through
7willmaintainacontinuousre.
Fuel reloading:
1. This appliance has a large door with an exceptional
view of the re.
- Openstoabout90degreesandhasabuilt-instop.
- Dooropens26inches(660mm)whichgoesbeyond
the standard size hearth pad covering the oor in
front of the appliance.
- Maywanttouseahearthruginfrontofthehearth
pad to protect the ooring from ash spillage and
continuous cleaning of carpet, etc.
2. Open door slowly so that ash or smoke does not exit
appliance through opening.
- Checktheleveloftheashbuild-up.Removeashifit
reaches the top of the brick covers. Ash should not be
spilling over the brick covers onto the ash lip.
- Anyashorcoalsontheashlipcanbepressedinto
the door gasket and shorten the life of the gasket.
- Iftheash is left toaccumulateontheash lip it can
interfere with the door closing and/or falling out onto
the hearth pad or beyond.
Check the ash level each time you reload.
