NOTE: For maximum efficiency and lowest emissions,
when operating the blower in either the automatic or
manual setting for the blower off until the burn is well
established, i.e., 30 minutes.
N. Clear Space
• Do NOT place combustible objects within 4 ft (1.2 m) of
the front of appliance (Figure 14.2) .
• Mantel - Avoid placing candles and other heat-sensitive
objects on mantel or hearth. Heat may damage
these objects.
Figure 14.2
Maintain 4 ft (1.22m) clearance to
combustible in front of appliance
NOTICE: Do NOT operate a circulating fan within close
proximity, approximately 4 ft (1.2m), of appliance. Can
reverse air flow, blowing hot air into appliance cavity. Can
damage appliance blower due to overheating.
2. The blower is equipped with five setting switch. Increase
blower speed by turning the setting knob clockwise.
M. Opacity (Smoke)
Opacity is the measure of how cleanly your appliance is
burning. Opacity is measured in percent; 100% opacity is
when an object is totally obscured by the smoke column
from a chimney, and 0% opacity means that no smoke
column can be seen. As you become familiar with your
appliance, you should periodically check the opacity. This
will allow you to know how to burn as nearly smoke-free as
possible (goal of 0% opacity).
When burning your first fire, you will experience
smoke and odor from the appliance resulting from the
curing of paint and burning off of any oils remaining
from manufacturing.
Open windows during initial burn to dissipate smoke
and odors!
• Odors may be irritating to sensitive individuals.
• Smoke detectors may activate.
CAUTION
Do NOT place combustible objects in front of the
appliance. High temperatures may ignite clothing,
furniture or draperies.
