26W415-0763 / A / 11.03.107.3 FUEL7.4 LIGHTING A FIRE! 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.When loading the appliance, ensure that the upper fibre baffles are not lifted up and off their ledge and arepushed completely to the back of the appliance. For maximum efficiency, when the appliance is thoroughly hot,load it fully to the top of the door opening and burn at a medium low setting. Maximum heat for minimum fuel(optimum burn) occurs when the appliance top temperature is between 500°F (260°C) and 600°F (315°C). Thebricks will be nearly all white and the glass mostly clear. The whiteness of the bricks and the cleanliness of theglass are good indicators of your operating efficiency. Not enough heat is produced when only one or two piecesof wood are burned or the wood may not burn completely. A minimum of three pieces are needed to encase abed of coals that sustains the fire.NOTE: When loading the appliance, ensure to keep fuel back from the glass. If coals are to accumulateon the front lip, there is a chance they will fall out when the door is opened.Loosely stacked wood burns quicker than a tightly packed load. Wood burns in cycles rather than giving a steadyoutput of heat. It is best to plan these cycles around your household routine so that only enough coals are left tostart the next load. In the evening, load your appliance, at least, a half-hour before bed to ensure a good fire, hotenough to close the draft control for an overnight burn.Burn only dry seasoned wood. 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 the door slowly to prevent smoke spillage.Use a pair of long gloves (barbecue gloves) when feeding the fire. Because these appliances burn at the front,they are clean and efficient, but they are also very hot and gloves are useful. Keep a small steel shovel nearby touse as a poker and to remove ashes. Do not store the wood within 3 feet (1m) of the appliance.7.4.1 FLASH FIRE93.1A 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.
