51I ACC Wood Insert
Before lighting your first fire in the appliance:
1. Confirm the baffle and ceramic blanket are correctly
positioned. They should be even with the front tube and
resting on all tubes.
See page 13.
2. Remove all labels from glass.
There are many ways to build a fire. The basic principle is
to light easily-ignitable tinder or paper, which ignites the fast
burning kindling, which in turn ignites the slow-burning fire
-
wood. Here is one method that works well:
1.
Open firebox door (to open rotate handle counter clock
-
wise).
2. Open the Burn Rate Air and Start-Up Air Controls fully.
3. Place several wads of crushed paper on the firebox floor.
Heating the flue with slightly crumpled newspaper before
adding kindling keeps smoke to a minimum.
4. Lay small dry sticks of kindling on top of the paper.
5. Make sure that no matches or other combustibles are in
the immediate area of the appliance. Be sure the room
is ventilated and the flue unobstructed.
6. Light the paper in the appliance. NEVER light or rekindle
fire with kerosene, gasoline, or charcoal lighter fluid; the
results can be fatal.
7. Once the kindling is burning quickly, add several full-length
logs 3 to 4 inches (76 - 102mm) in diameter. Be careful
not to smother the fire. Stack the pieces of wood 1/2 to
1 inch apart (13-25mm); near enough to keep each other
hot, but far enough away from each other to allow air flow
between them.
8. Close door and latch securely (rotate handle clockwise).
9. Set the Burn Rate Air Control and activate the timer sys-
tem (ACC).
NOTE:
• Build fire on brick firebox floor.
• Do NOT use grates, andirons or other methods to support fuel.
It will adversely affect emissions.
Odors and vapors released during initial operation.
• Curing of high temperature paint.
• Open windows for air circulation.
Odors may be irritating to sensitive individuals.
CAUTION
Fire Risk.
Keep combustible materials, gasoline and
other flammable vapors and liquids clear of
appliance.
WARNING
• Do NOT store flammable materials in the appliance’s
vicinity.
•
DO NOT USE GASOLINE, 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 it
is in use.
• Combustible materials may ignite.
10. When ready to reload, It is best to fully open both the Burn
Rate Air and Start-up Air Controls
before reloading
.
• This livens up the coalbed and reduces excessive
emissions (opacity/smoke).
• Open door slowly so that ash or smoke does not exit
appliance through opening.
• Large logs burn slowly, holding a fire longer.
•
Small logs burn fast and hot, giving quick heat.
11. As long as there are hot coals, repeating steps 6 through
8 will maintain a continuous fire.
Do not leave door open during normal operation
(except for re-fuel).
CAUTION
To prevent damages, do not stack burnables against glass.
