reaD OVer the FOllOwing  
explanatiOns Very CareFully

1.  When  you  first  turn  on  the  power  –  the  24  volt 

electronic control is energized, the controls high 
temperature siren sounds for only a short time, 
then after this, the control will automatically go to 
the low temperature setting which is when only 
the GREEN LIGHT is on.

2.  When first starting a fire, you may open the ash 

pan door for a very short while until the control 
senses the heat which is being generated by the 
fire. Once the control senses the heat it will au-
tomatically  open  the  draft  shutter.  (ALL  THREE 
LIGHTS WILL THEN BE ON). Allow the ash pan 
door to remain open for a short period of time to 
assure that the wood has properly ignited. NOW 
ClOse the ash pan DOOr anD the eleC-
TRONIC  CONTROL  WILL  TAKE  OVER  AND  IT 
will  COntrOl  the  DraFt  as  neeDeD  tO 
BURN  THE  WOOD,  MAKE  SURE  THE  ASH 
pan DOOr remains ClOseD anD that the 
LATCH  IS  HOOKED  THROUGHOUT  THE  EN-
tire burn.

3.  The  electronic  control  has  four  different  stages 

and the lights on the control indicate how much 
air  is  entering  the  fire  chamber,  for  example  as 
follows:

 

A.  At start up, all three lights are on and 
also again at the end of the burn cycle, this indi-
cates that the shutter is wide open.

 

B.  As  the  fire  gradually  intensifies,  only  two 
lights  are  on  which  means  that  the  control  has 
automatically decreased the amount of air going 
into the fire chamber, now the shutter is partially 
closed.

 

C.  As the temperature in the fire chamber con-
tinues to rise, the control automatically closes so 
that only One light is on which means that the 
shutter is almost close.

 

D.  When  the  temperature  in  the  fire  chamber 
has reached it’s optimum level, there will be 
nO lights On. Now the shutter is completely 
closed, the stove is now what we call on the pilot 
burn and will continue like this until the fire cham-
ber cools down and then the control again takes 
over and will adjust the shutter opening based on 
the fire chamber temperature.

4.  The  LOW  TO  HIGH  TEMPERATURE  KNOB  is 

used to adjust the total heat output of the vapor 
fire furnace, depending on what the temperature 
is outside.
