Providing you have the charcoal bed described,

close the bypass damper by pulling the handle toward

the front of the stove. This will begin the highly efcient

mode of operation where the exhaust gases get re-

burned in the secondary combustion package. If you

cannot achieve a charcoal bed within the rst 15 to 20

minutes, your wood is likely too wet, and you may need

to burn the re longer and/or hotter to compensate for

the extra energy needed to drive out the moisture. If,

after ve minutes of burning with the damper closed,

smoke is visible coming from the chimney, you probably

do not have the proper coal bed. Open the bypass

damper and continue with the process until a signicant

coal bed is formed.

Always remember to open the bypass damper when

you are loading, this allows the exhaust gases to pass

directly into the ue outlet and reduces the chance of

smoke spillage into the room.

 Once you have prepared and maintained

a thick charcoal bed, and the secondary combustion is

established, you should be able to reload the stove at

any time by simply opening the bypass damper, then

the load door, adding fuel and closing the door then the

damper. This depends on coal bed size, load size and

moisture content of fuel.

 Before reloading, empty the ash

pan (remember to close the ash door while emptying

the pan). The ashes should be the coolest at this time.

Remove ashes from the re chamber periodically by

raking a poker across the bottom grates.

Excessive ash buildup can prevent proper venting

of exhaust gases. Do not allow the ash pan to over-ll.

Ash buildup between the ash pan and the bottom of

the grate can cause the grate to overheat and wear

out prematurely.

The TL2.0 is designed to provide access to the ash

pan without the need for opening the main door. Before

opening the ash door

and removing the ash

pan, open the bypass

damper. Wearing

hea vy pro tecti ve

gloves, open the ash

door and remove the

ash pan by pulling

it forward by the

handle. Close the

ash door and damper

bypass before taking

the ashes outside for

safe disposal.

Avoid overring your stove. Overring is a potentially

hazardous situation which can lead to overheating of

combustible materials nearby, damage to the stove, and

in extreme cases, cause a re. Overring is caused by:

1. Too much air owing through the stove too quickly. 2.

You may have positioned the primary air control lever

too far to the right. 3. Inadvertently leaving the damper

open or 4. Not keeping up with routine maintenance,

such as checking door gaskets for wear.

Overring results in excessive fuel consumption, and

may cause parts of the stove or chimney connector to

glow red. If you notice signs of overring, reduce the air

supply to the re, and review the Maintenance section

in this manual.

In the event of a chimney re, call your local re

department; make sure everyone is safely out of the

house. Reduce the air intake of the stove as much as

possible using the air control lever; close the bypass

damper to further restrict air ow. Do not throw water

on the re; this can cause stove damage and create

an even more dangerous situation. Have your chimney

professionally cleaned and inspected before resuming

burning in your stove.

As you begin to operate your stove at higher

temperatures, you will notice a “hot” or unpleasant

smell; this is just the paint going through the curing

process, and will disappear after a few res.
