Operation

CAUTION:

Never use gasoline, gasoline type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fl uid or similar

liquids to start or "freshen up" a fi re in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the

heater while it is in use.

CAUTION:

Hot while in operation. Keep children, clothing and furniture away. Contact may

cause skin burns.

Your ALDERLEA stove is designed for maximum overall efficiency at a moderate fi ring rate.

Overfi ring is hazardous and a waste of fuel. Too slow a burn contributes to creosote buildup

and lowers combustion efficiency.

This heater is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher efficiency and lower emissions

generally result when burning air-dried seasoned hardwoods, as compared to softwoods

or too green or freshly cut hardwoods.

Wood should be properly air dried (seasoned) for six months or more. Wet or undried wood

will cause the fi re to smoulder and produce large amounts of creosote. Wet wood also

produces very little heat and tends to go out often.

DO NOT BURN :

• Salt water wood *

• Treated wood

• Wet or green wood

• Coal/charcoal

• Garbage/Plastic *

• Solvents

* These materials contain chlorides which will rapidly destroy metal surfaces and

void warranty.

Do not burn anything but wood. Other fuels (eg. charcoal) can produce large amounts of

carbon monoxide, a tasteless, odourless gas that can kill. Under no circumstances should

you attempt to barbecue in this heater.

Add a large piece of wood to the stove when it has a good large bed of coals. It is dry if it

is burning on more than one side within one minute. It is damp if it turns black and lights

within three minutes. If it sizzles, hisses and blackens without igniting in fi ve minutes it is

soaked and should not be burnt.
