WARNING
• Before beginning your installation, consult with your local building code agency or fi re offi cials and
insurance representative to ensure compliance.
• Non-toxic smoke will be emitted during the paint curing process, to help dissipate the smoke open a
window near the appliance.
• Remove any dust or debris off the top of the appliance before fi ring the appliance as the paint will be-
come soft as the appliance heats up and will harden as the appliance cures. To cure the paint on your
appliance burn your appliance moderately hot during the fi rst few fi res.
• To keep the gasket from sticking to the appliance as the paint is curing, periodically open the door
every 5-10 minutes.
• For the fi rst two weeks use generous amounts of fuel and burn the appliance with the damper wide
open for an hour as the appliance goes through a process of eliminating moisture in the steel and fi re-
bricks. The initial heat output will be reduced while the moisture is being drawn from the appliance and
it will be necessary to build several hot fi res to remove this moisture. DURING THIS PROCESS DO
NOT OVERFIRE THE APPLIANCE. REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF AIR COMING INTO THE APPLI-
ANCE IF THE APPLIANCE OR CHIMNEY BECOMES RED.
