Service & Maintenance
A. Shut-down Procedure
The best way to shut down the appliance is to simply
let it run out of fuel, and shut down naturally as the
temperature cools. This method is highly recommended
for the end of season shut-down.
To shut-down otherwise, turn the mode selector to
"OFF' verify by ensuring that the Status light goes out.
The shut-down protocol of the circuit board will safely
allow the fire to go out.

Soot Formation and Need For Removal-
When coal is burned, the products of combustion
combine with moisture to form a soot residue which
accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this soot
makes an extremely hot fire. The chimney and chimney
connector should be inspected at least once every two
months during the heating season to determine if a
soot buildup has occurred. If soot has accumulated,
it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney
fire.
If you experiance a chimney fire;
Remove all burning
fuel from the grate by scraping it into the ash pan.
Move the ash pan safely outside the home and place
it on the ground, well away from any combustibles.
Turn the control to "Off" and notify the fire department.
Do not operate the appliance until the chimney and
connector have been inspected and approved by a
chimney professional.
