EDGE 60 Pellet Fireplace 

J.  Fire Characteristics and Flame Height 

(Feed Rate) Adjustment

A properly adjusted fi re will have an active fl ame pattern 
and the fl ame will rise and fall somewhat.  This is normal.

•  On HIGH setting, the fl ame will extend approximately 

203mm out of the fi repot.  If it is not 203mm tall, in-
crease the fl ame height.

•  On MEDIUM or LOW setting the fl ame will be shorter.

•  Reduce the fl ame height if the fi re has tall fl ames with 

black tails and seems somewhat lazy.  This may also 
indicate that the fi repot and/or heat exchanger needs 
to be cleaned.  Refer to Section 3 for Maintenance and 
Cleaning Instructions.

Adjusting the Flame Height (Feed Rate)
•  Set your appliance to “MANUAL” mode on the wall 

control.

•  Set the heat output level to HIGH.

•  Adjust the fl ame height using the “FLAME HEIGHT 

ADJUST” screen on the wall control.

Figure 12.1

The appliance has been designed to operate on an optional 
battery back-up system.  

If you have frequent power outages in your region, hook 
the appliance up to a 12 volt battery and it will automatically 
switch to battery power in the event of a power failure.  The 
12 volt power cord, sold as a separate accessory, does not 
charge the battery.

A battery icon appears on your wall control to let you 

know you are now operating on battery power.  

Figure 

12.3

•  The fi re must be manually lit as the appliance will no 

longer automatically light.  Follow the instructions in the 
Wall Control Manual.

• 

Use only approved fi re starting gel to start the fi re. 

•  The high burn rate is no longer available on battery 

back-up.

• E

ach level drops down one level, i.e

 the high burn be-

comes medium-high burn and so on.

•  If the battery charge falls below 10 volt it can no longer 

sustain the appliance operation and the appliance will 
shut down.  You must disconnect and reconnect the bat-
tery to start it up again.

Recommended Battery

•  12 volt deep cycle battery, (i.e., marine or RV type).  

• 

A 12 volt battery cable is available through your local 

dealer.

Instructions to Hook Up to Battery Back-Up

Open Front to expose battery plug on bottom left side of 
fi replace.  Plug in the battery.

WARNING! Risk of Injury!

•  Do not operate in the battery back-up mode with the 

appliance pulled out on the slide rails.

•  Blowers may continue to run and would be exposed to 

human contact.

CAUTION! 

•  Hook up to battery terminals BEFORE you plug battery 

into appliance.

•  Damage to internal electronic components may occur.
