19 OPERA TING INSTRUCTIONS IMPORT ANT - PLEASE READ BEFORE USING STOVE BURNING PROCESS In recent years there has been an increasing con- cern about the quality of our air . Much of the blame for poor air quality has been placed on the burning of wood for home heating. In order to improve the situa- tion, we at Heat-N-Glo have developed cleaner burn[...]

20 WOOD SELECTION AND STORAGE Burn only dry seasoned wood! Dry and well-sea- soned wood will not only minimize the chance of creo- sote formation, but will give you the most efficient heat output. Even dry wood contains at least 15% mois- ture by weight and should be burned hot enough to keep the chimney hot for as long as it takes to main- tain pa[...]

21 BURNING GUIDELINES OP ACITY : This is the measure of how cleanly your stove is burning. Opacity is measured in percent; 100% opacity is when an object is totally obscured by the smoke column from a chimney , and 0% opac- ity means that no smoke column can be seen. As you become familiar with your stove, you should pe- riodically check the opacit[...]

22 MAINTENANCE CREOSOTE Formation and need for removal : When wood is burned slowly , it produces tar and other organic vapors which combine with expelled mois- ture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a newly-started or a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lini[...]

23 GLASS REPLACEMENT 1. Remove door from stove and lay on a padded flat surface. 2 . Remove glass tabs (See figure 25) and screws with a Phillips screwdriver (turn screws counter- clockwise). 3. Lift glass frame pieces and glass out of the door frame. 4. Lay new glass with fiberglass tape around it into the door frame, mak- ing sure the Heat-N-Glo [...]
