C. Air Controls
1. Start-Up Air Control
The function of the Start-Up Air Control is to activate the
Automatic Combustion Control system (ACC).
• PushtheStart-UpAir Controlall theway back untilit stops
and then pull forward to the front of the appliance until it
stops. Figure 5.1.
• The air channel opens and allows air to enter the front of
the appliance for approximately 20-25 minutes.
• Theair channel gradually shutsdownuntilitis completely
closed at the end of the 20-25 minutes.
• The fire is now controlled by the air supplied by the Burn
Rate Air Control. Figure 5.1.
• This function should be performed each time you reload
the appliance.
2. Burn Rate Air Control
• The air supply enters at the upper front of the firebox,
near the top of the glass door.
• This preheated air supplies the necessary fresh oxygen
to mix with the unburned gases, helping to create the
second, third and fourth combustion process.
• This air is regulated by the Burn Rate Air Control.
• There are four settings High, Medium-High, Medium-Low
and Low.
• When the control is raised all the way up it is on the High
setting and when pushed all the down it is on the Low
setting.
B. Automatic Combustion Control (ACC)
Typically, when you build a fire,you open theair controls fully
and monitor the fire to prevent it from going into an overfire
situation and/or burning your wood up too quickly before you
shut down the air controls to the desired burn rate.
WhenusingtheAutomaticCombustionControl(ACC)system,
you do not have to continually monitor the fire. Once you
set theACC system it will control the fire for you. Follow the
instructions below to learn how to operate your stove with
ease.
D. Burn Rates and Operating Efficiency
For maximum operating efficiency
1. Burn dry, well-seasoned wood.
2. Follow these burn rate instructions below and refer to
Figure 5.1.
*NOTE: These are guidelines. Actual settings may vary with
type of wood, chimney draft, altitude and other variables.
E. Blower Control Box & Snap Disc
Operating Instructions
1. The blower will turn on/off automatically when set to
AUTO. Figure 6.1 on page 6.
2. When set to MANUAL, the fan will turn on/off only when
you turn it on or off. This setting over-rides the internal
snap disc.
3. Swing the grille downward to expose the blower controls.
Adjust the speed of the fan by turning the HIGH/LOW
knob to the desired setting.
F. Blower Operating Instructions
1. Initial (cold) startup: Open both controls fully by raising
the Burn Rate Air Control all the way up until it stops and
PUSH the Start-up Air Control back until it stops. The
blower tends to cool the appliance. Leave the blower off
until the burn is well established, i.e., 30 minutes.
2. High Burn Setting: Both controls are open. Burn Rate
Air Control is pulled up and the Start-upAir Control is fully
pushed in. Blower may remain on.
3. Medium-High Burn Setting*: Burn Rate Air Control
is closed then opened to 1 inch to fully open (pull up).
Blower may remain on.
4. Medium-Low Burn Setting*: Burn Rate Air Control
is closed then opened to 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch (pull up).
Leave the blower off until the burn is well established, i.e.,
30 minutes.
5. Low Burn Setting*: Burn Rate Air Control is closed
(down position).
Leave the blower off until the burn is well
established, i.e., 30 minutes.
*NOTE: For burn settings 3 to 5 the Start-up Air Control
needs to be pushed in (Open) then pulled forward to acti-
vate the Automatic Combustion Control (ACC).
NOTE: For maximum efficiency and lowest emissions,
when operating the blower in either the automatic or
manual setting for the low and medium low burn settings
leave the blower off until the burn is well established, i.e.,
30 minutes.
