Smoke given off by burning fuel consists of very small

droplets. Burning these droplets releases heat that would

instructions below will help you operate your appliance
properly to maximize the appliance’s performance. Actual
performance is dependent on chimney height, weather,
log size, wood species and moisture content. Some ex-

When rst loading fuel, set the door air inlet control at
the wide open position for at least 15–20 minutes. When
