periods at high temperatures.
3. Flat spots on the painted surfaces are normal.
4. Shiny spots on the paint surface before burning is nomal.
5. Call your dealer if you have any questions.
BUILDING A FIRE
1. Open inlet air control fully.
2. Place a small amount of crumpled paper in the stove.
3. Cover the paper with a generous amount of kindling in
a teepee fashion and a few small pieces of wood.
4. Ignite the paper and close door. If fire dies down
substantially, open door slightly.
5. Using the lincoln log method, add larger pieces of wood
as the fire progresses being careful not to overload.
Do not fill firebox beyond firebrick area. An ideal coal
bed of 1" to 2" should be established to achieve
optimum performance.
6. This unit is designed to function most effectively when
air is allowed to circulate to all areas of the firebox.
An ideal means of achieving this is to rake a slight (1"
to 2" wide) trough in the centre of the coal bed from
front to back prior to loading the fuel.
7. Once fuel has been loaded, close door and open air
inlet control fully until fire is well established (approx.
10 minutes) being careful not to overfire.
8. Readjust air inlet control to desired burn rate. If
excessive smoke fills firebox, open air inlet control
slightly until flames resume and wood is sufficiently
ignited. A basic rule of thumb is "closed-low",
1"/2 way-medium" and "fully open-high".
9. When refuelling, adjust air control to the fully open
position. When fire brightens, slowly and carefully
open the door. This procedure will prevent gases
from igniting causing smoke and flame spillage.
10. Add fuel being careful not to overload.
11. Do not build fire close to glass. May result in glass
breakage.
NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN
FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR
SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR FRESHEN UP A
FIRE IN THIS HEATER. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS
WELL AWAY FROM THE HEATER WHILE IT IS IN USE.
The following use and safety tips should be observed:
1. Inspect the glass regularly for cracks and breaks.
If you detect a crack or break, extinguish the fire
immediately, and contact your dealer for replacement.
2. Do not slam door or otherwise impact the glass.
When closing doors, make sure that logs or other
objects to not protrude and impact the glass.
3. Do not clean the glass with materials which may
scratch (or otherwise damage) the glass. Scratches
on the glass can develop into cracks or breaks.
4. Never attempt to clean the glass while unit is hot. If
the deposit is not very heavy, normal glass cleaners
are adequate with a plain, non-abrasive scouring pad.
Heavier deposits may be removed with the use of a
readily available oven cleaner.
5. Never put substances which can ignite explosively in
the unit since even small explosions in confined areas
can blow out the glass.
6. This unit has an airwash system, designed to reduce
deposits on glass.
7. Deposits may build on the glass during normal
operation and use. Normal glass cleaners work well
to remove these deposits. Heavier deposits may be
removed by using a damp cloth dipped in wood
ashes or by using a commercially available oven cleaner.
REPLACE GLASS ONLY WITH GHP GROUP
5MM CERAMIC GLASS (SEE REPLACEMENT
PARTS PAGE 18).
GLASS REPLACEMENT
CAUTION: Make sure fire is out and stove is completely
cool to the touch.
1. Find an area that will ensure safe removal and no
damage to surface of door frame or decorative home fur-
nishing.
2. Wearing a pair of protective gloves, remove the push
nuts that retain the door pins from being pulled out and
then lift the door off of the hinges.
3. Lay the door face down on a protective surface locat-
ed in Step 2.
4. Remove the screws from all glass retainers and
remove the broken glass, ensuring that the door frame
is free from any slivers. (If even small slivers are left, the
new glass will not seal correctly causing the stove to
burn improperly.)
5. Attach glass gasket (from GHP Group replacement
parts page 18) to new glass and install in door frame.
6. Replace glass retainers with screws making sure not
to cross thread or overtighten.
