Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cooling down cycles are normal and to be expected.
TIPS FOR BURNING:
•
Create a large fi re to heat up the appliance before adjusting to a slower burn.
• To create a large, quick burning fi re, use small pieces of wood.
• For a lower, but extended burn, stack larger pieces of wood close together.
• For long burns, leave a 1-2" bed of ashes.
• Burn dry wood only.
• With the exception of overnight burns, create large, quick burning fi res whenever possible. Smaller, slow
burning fi res, using large logs, cause the glass to become dirty. Larger, quick burning fi res using medium
sized wood to refuel frequently are much more effi cient.
90.1
A slight humming sound may be heard depending on the location of the blower. This sound may be
minimized by turning down the blower speed.
When fi rst installed, the appliance and the steel are cold and must become hot before the appliance will
function well. During the break-in period (the fi rst 2 or 3 fi res) create only small, hot fi res using kindling; this will
allow the fi rebrick to cure. Do not be alarmed if small hairline cracks develop in the fi rebrick. This is a normal
occurrence and does not pose a safety hazard. The paint may also smell a little for the fi rst few fi res as it
cures and you may wish to open a door or window to alleviate the smell.
There are many different ways to start a fi re, review the hints and warnings in this section to ensure the fi re is
started properly.
