C. Before Your First Fire
•
Be sure the appliance is installed properly and that
all safety requirements have been met. Pay particular
attention to the clearances to combustibles, floor
protection and the venting instructions.
• Test your smoke detector(s) and CO detector(s) to the
specifications of the manufacturer.
• Double check that the ash pan and internal firebox are
empty.
• Be sure to read this entire manual.
D. Starting Your First Fire
1. With the mode selector in the "OFF" position, and the
Feed Adjuster
NOT
on "Test", plug the power cord into a
properly grounded receptacle.
2.
Fill the hopper with DRY coal.
3. Place some coal on the burn grate, filling the valley in
the back.
4. Turn the mode selector dial to the desired mode.
If Room
Temp is selected, be sure to turn the temperature
dial above the current room temperature.
5. Fill the rest of the grates with a mixture of wood pellets,
rice coal, and starting gel.
6. Light the starting gel with a match, and close the door.
7. Only after the ESP temperature increases, will the feeder
start operating to increase the fire size.
NEVER APPLY STARTING GEL TO THE STARTING
MIXTURE WITHOUT THE COMBUSTION BLOWER
OPERATING.
"NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE
LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL
LIGHTER FLUID, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO
START OR "FRESHEN UP " A FIRE IN THIS
HEATER. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL
AWAY FROM THE HEATER WHILE IN USE".
E. Fire Characteristics
After lighting the fire, it will go through a few different stages
of appearance. First, because of the wood pellets mixed in,
you'll see mostly tall yellow flames. As the wood pellets burn
away, and some coal begins to ignite, your yellow flames will
shorten and mix with blue flames. After the wood pellets are
gone and the coal is the only thing burning, you'll see mostly
blue flames, which can be invisible in a brightly lit area. As
the fire settles in, you'll have about a two inch band of hot
burning coals running across the grates. With a maximum
temperature demand, the ideal feed rate setting will put
this band approximately 1-2 inches back from the end of
the grates. Allow at least an hour of burn time between
adjustments to the feed rate.
The setting above will produce continuous maximum heat output
with the distribution blower at full speed.
The setting above will produce continuous medium heat output with
the distribution blower at low speed.
