8.9 smoking
A properly installed appliance should not smoke. If yours does, check the following:
• Has the chimney had time to get hot?
• Is the smoke passage blocked anywhere in the appliance, chimney connector or chimney?
• Is the room too airtight and the air intake not connected to the outside? Try with a window partly open.
• Is the smoke fl ow impeded by too long a horizontal pipe or too many bends?
• Is it a weak draft perhaps caused by a leaky chimney, a cold outside chimney, too large a diameter of a
chimney, too short a chimney, or a chimney too close to trees or a higher roof?
• Is the moisture content of the wood greater than 20%?
• If equipped, has the catalyst bypass been closed or closed prematurely?
8.10 overnight burn
A. Get the appliance hot by moving the air control to high and letting
the appliance burn for 15 minutes.
B. Load your larger pieces of wood compactly, packed close enough
to prevent the fl ames from penetrating it completely.
C. After approximately 30 minutes, depending on the size of the load,
reduce the draft control setting making sure that the fi re is not
extinguished.
D. In the morning, the appliance should still be hot, with embers in
the coal bed. Stir the coals and load small pieces of wood to re-
ignite the fi re, if desired.
NOTE: Differences in chimney height and draft may lower overall burn times.
DO NOT OVERFIRE THE APPLIANCE! Overfi ring can occur by burning large amounts of smaller wood pieces
or vigorously burning large loads of wood with the draft control on "HIGH" (fully open) for long
periods of time (one or two hours).
8.11 re-loading the appliance
When refuelling, open the door slowly to prevent smoke spillage. Use a pair of long appliance gloves when
feeding the fi re. Keep a small steel shovel nearby to use as a poker and to remove ashes. Do not store wood
within 4 feet (1.2m) of the appliance.
Follow the directions below to minimize smoke spillage while re-loading the appliance.
• Burning wet, unseasoned wood can cause excessive creosote accumulation, which, when ignited, can cause a
chimney fi re that may result in a serious house fi re.
• It is recommended to use heat-resistant gloves and/or metal tongs when reloading the appliance.

WARNING
1. Move the air control to high.
2. Open the bypass door, if equipped.
3. Open the glass door slightly. Allow the airfl ow inside the fi rebox to stabilize before opening the doors fully.
4. Load wood and burn at a high setting.
5. After 5-10 minutes, close the glass doors.
6. Ensure catalyst temperature is stable then shut bypass door, if equipped, then shut down to medium low.
In the evening, load your appliance at least a half-hour before bed to ensure the fi re is hot enough to close the
draft control for an overnight burn, refer to the “overnight burn” section for detailed information.
