W415-1676 / B / 10.26.1733EN7.0 SELECTING WOOD! WARNING50.6ABefore loading the appliance, ensure all required insulation and baffles (if equipped) are installed and situated properly. Formaximum efficiency, when the appliance is thoroughly hot, load it fully to the specified maximum amount and burn at amedium low setting (if equipped). The whiteness of the bricks and the cleanliness of the glass are good indicators of youroperating efficiency. Not enough heat is produced when only a few pieces of wood are burned or the wood may not burncompletely.NOTE: When loading the appliance, ensure to keep fuel back from the glass. If coals are to accumulate on thefront lip, there is a chance they will fall outwhen the door is opened.TYPES OF WOODBoth hardwood and softwood burn equally well inthis appliance but hardwood is denser, will weighmore per cord and burn a little slower and longer.Manufactured firelogs made by compressing 100%natural wood fi bre can be safely used as fuel.Do not use manufactured fi relogs if they containadditives such as paraffi n, wax, binders etc. Neverburn more than two manufactured firelogs at atime.MOISTURE CONTENTBurn only dry, clean unpainted wood that has been seasoned. It produces more heat and less soot or creosote. Freshlycut wood contains about 50% moisture while after proper seasoning only about 20% of the water remains. As wood isburned, this water boils off consuming energy that should be used in heating. The wetter the wood, the less heat is givenoff and the more creosote is produced. Dry fi rewood has cracks in the end of the grain.STORING WOODFirewood should be split and stacked in a manner that allows for full air circulation and covered in early spring to be readyfor burning that fall. Dry fi rewood has cracks in the end grain.Cut the wood so that it will fi t horizontally, front to back, making for easier loading and less of a likelihood that the wood willroll onto the glass.Fuel for the appliance must not be stored closer than the required clearances to combustibles (heat sensitive material).NEVER STORE WOOD IN THE ASH PAN COMPARTMENT (if applicable).THIS APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED TO BURN NATURAL WOOD ONLY. DO NOT BURN TREATEDWOOD, COAL, CHARCOAL, COLOURED PAPER, CARDBOARD, SOLVENTS OR GARBAGE. THISAPPLIANCE HAS NOT BEEN TESTED WITH AN UNVENTED GAS LOG SET. TO REDUCE RISK OF FIRE ORINJURY, DO NOT INSTALL AN UNVENTED GAS LOG SET INTO THE APPLIANCE.HIGHER EFFICIENCIES AND LOWER EMISSIONS GENERALLY RESULT WHEN BURNING AIR DRIED SEASONEDHARDWOODS, AS COMPARED TO SOFTWOODS OR TOO GREEN OR FRESHLY CUT HARDWOODS.BURNING WET UNSEASONED WOOD CAN CAUSE EXCESSIVE CREOSOTE ACCUMULATION. WHEN IGNITED ITCAN CAUSE A CHIMNEY FIRE THAT MAY RESULT IN A SERIOUS HOUSE FIRE.DO NOT STORE FUEL WITHIN THE CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES, OR IN THE SPACE REQUIRED FORRE-FUELING AND ASH REMOVAL.
