ENW415-1468 / A / 09.30.16267.4 FUEL! WARNINGDO NOT STORE FUEL WITHIN THE CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES, OR IN THE SPACE REQUIREDFOR RE-FUELING AND ASH REMOVAL.BURNING WET, UNSEASONED WOOD CAN CAUSE EXCESSIVE CREOSOTE ACCUMULATION. WHENIGNITED IT CAN CAUSE A CHIMNEY FIRE THAT MAY RESULT IN A SERIOUS HOUSE FIRE.Maximum heat for minimum fuel (optimum burn) occurs when the appliance top temperature 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 thebricks and the cleanliness of the glass are good indicators of your operating efficiency. Not enough heat isproduced when only one or two pieces of wood are burned or the wood may not burn completely. A minimumof 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 asteady output of heat. It is best to plan these cycles around your household routine so that only enough coalsare left to start the next load. In the evening, load your appliance, at least, a half-hour before bed to ensure agood fire, hot enough to close the draft control for an overnight burn.Burn only dry seasoned wood with 20% moisture content. 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 thedoor slowly to prevent smoke spillage. Use a pair of long gloves (barbecue gloves) when feeding the fire.Because these appliances burn from the front to back, they are clean and efficient, but they are also very hotand gloves are useful. Keep a small steel shovel nearby to use as a poker and to remove ashes. Do not storethe wood within 3 feet (1m) of the appliance.93.1A flash fire is a small fire burned quickly when you don't need muchheat. After your kindling has "caught", load at least 3 pieces of wood,stacked loosely. Burn with the draft control fully open or closed onlyslightly.7.5 LIGHTING A FIRE7.5.1 FLASH FIRE
