AWAY FROM THE HEATER WHILE IN USE.
Starting Your First Fire
With the mode selector in the "OFF" position, and
the Feed Adjuster NOT on "Test", plug the power cord
into a properly grounded receptacle.
1. Fill the hopper with DRY coal.
2. Place some coal on the burn grate, 6lling the
valley in the back.
3. 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.
4. Fill the rest of the grates with a mixture of
wood pellets, rice coal, and starting gel.
5. Light the starting gel with a match, and close
the door.
Only after the ESP temperature increases, will the
feeder start operating to increase the 6re size.
WARNING! NEVER APPLY STARTING GEL TO
THE STARTING MIXTURE WITHOUT THE
COMBUSTION BLOWER OPERATING.
Slide Baffle Closed (Use when draft is good)
Slide Baffle Operation
Positioning of the Slide BaRle will be determined
by your circumstances. Simply keep in mind that
closing the baRle means that Lue gases travel a longer
path, allowing for more heat to be extracted. Opening
the baRle does the opposite, allowing more heat to go
out through the chimney. If you are just starting up
(particularly with a cold chimney), or if temperatures
are mild, or you otherwise have issues with draft, you
may want to open the baRle partly or completely to
allow more heat to escape. When draft measures close
to the minimum (-.06 inches water column), allowing
more heat into the Lue will improve draft, since draft
is partly an eRect produced by temperature
diRerences between warm gases in the chimney and
the outside air.
Slide Baffle Open
Use When:
•
Starting a 6re
•
Draft is low
