when the wood was loaded. Do not attempt to produce a steady heat output by placing a single log on the
fire at regular intervals. Always place at least 5 to 8 pieces on the fire at a time in the North-South
orientation so that the heat radiated from one piece helps to ignite the pieces next to it. Each load of wood
should provide several hours of heating. The size of each load can be matched to the amount of heat
needed.
When you burn in cycles, you rarely need to open the fireplace’s loading door while the wood is flaming.
This is an advantage because there is more chance that smoke will leak from the fireplace when the door
is opened as a full fire is burning.
IF YOU MUST OPEN THE DOOR WHILE THE FUEL IS FLAMING, OPEN THE AIR CONTROL FULLY
FOR A FEW MINUTES, THEN UNLATCH AND OPEN THE DOOR SLOWLY.
4.3.2 USING A FIRE SCREEN
This product should not be operated with the door open using a firescreen (94-69110) in the United
States or provinces where any particulate matter emission rate limit is enforced (ex: US EPA).
This fireplace has been tested for use with an open door in conjunction with a fire screen, sold separately.
The fire screen must be properly secured on the fireplace to avoid any risk of sparks damaging the
flooring. When the fire screen is in use, do not leave the fireplace unattended to respond promptly in
the event of smoke spillage into the room. Potential causes of smoke spillage are described in Section 7,
Venting. See Appendix 7: Optional Fire Screen Installation for installation instructions.
Operating the fireplace with a fire screen increases possibilities of generating carbon monoxide. Carbon
monoxide is an odourless gas that is highly toxic which can cause death at high concentration in air.
Installation of a carbon monoxide detector is highly recommended.
4.3.3 BLOWER OPERATION
A blower (A) is already installed in the fireplace. It is located behind the faceplate, at the bottom of the
fireplace. Its function is to increase airflow around the fireplace air jacket and improve hot air circulation in
the room. When used regularly, the blower can provide a small increase in efficiency, up to 2%. However,
the use of a blower should not be used as a way to gain more output from a fireplace that is undersized for
the space it is intended to heat.
The blower can operate in automatic or manual mode. To choose the mode, just press the rocker switch
(B) and choose AUTO for automatic mode and MAN
for manual mode.
Automatic mode: Press the rocker switch (B) and
choose the AUTO mode. Choose the operating speed
of the blower with the rheostat button (C) above. The
blower will start automatically when the fireplace is
warm and will shut down automatically when the
fireplace is cold.
Manual mode: Press the rocker switch (B) and select
the MAN mode. Choose the operating speed of the
blower with the rheostat button (C) above. The blower
will start immediately. The blower must be stopped
manually, either by turning the rheostat button (C) fully
to the left or by changing the mode.
OFF: To completely turn off the blower, turn the
rheostat button (C) counter clockwise until the blower
stops.
