25W415-0763 / 03.04.10You can now add larger pieces of wood and operate the appliance normally. Once the appliance is entirely hot,it will burn very efficiently with little smoke from the chimney. There will be a bed of orange coals in the fireboxand secondary flames flickering just below the top firebrick. You can safely fill the firebox with wood to the topof the door and will get best burns if you keep the chimney connector temperatures between 250 degreesFahrenheit (120 degrees Celsius) and 450 degrees Fahrenheit (270 degrees Celsius). A surface thermometerwill help regulate this.Without a appliance thermometer, you are working blindly and have no idea of how the appliance is operating!An appliance thermometer offers a guide to performance and should be located 14” above the flue collar.Install the thermometer according to manufacturers instructions.Can’t get the fire going?Use more kindling and paper. Assuming the chimney and vent are sized correctly and there is sufficientcombustion air, the lack of sufficiently dry quantities of small kindling is the problem. Thumb size is a goodgauge for small kindling diameter.Can’t get heat out of the appliance?One of two things may have happened. The appliance door may have been closed prematurely and theappliance itself has not reached optimum temperature. Reopen the door and/or draft control to re-establish abrisk fire. The other problem may have been wet wood. The typical symptom is sizzling wood and moisturebeing driven from the wood.7.1 AIR CONTROLDraft is the force which moves air from the firebox up throughthe chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney depends onthe length and diameter of chimney, local geography, nearbyobstructions and other factors including the amount of heatgenerated by the fire which can be measured by an appliancethermometer.Adjusting the air control regulates the temperature. The draft canbe adjusted from a low burn rate with the handle in fully, to a fastburn rate with the handle fully out.Inadequate draft may cause back-puffing into the room through the appliance and chimney connectorpoints and may cause plugging of the chimney. Too much draft may cause an excessive temperature in theappliance, glowing red appliance parts or chimney connectors or an uncontrollable burn which can lead to achimney fire or permanent damage to the appliance.Do not operate your appliance for longer than 30 minutes with the draft control on “HIGH” (fully open).ASH LIP7.2 FIRE EXTINGUISHERS / SMOKE DETECTORSAll homes with a solid fuel burning appliance should have at least one fire extinguisher in a central locationknown to all, and at least one smoke detector in the room containing the appliance. If it sounds an alarm,correct the cause but do not deactivate or relocate the smoke detector.
