Push the Start-up Air Control back until it stops. The
blower tends to cool the appliance. Leave the blower off
until the burn is well established, i.e., 30 minutes.

when operating the blower in either the automatic or
manual setting for the blower off until the burn is well
established, i.e., 30 minutes.

(1.2m) of the front of appliance (Figure 2.6) .

M. Opacity (Smoke)
This is the measure of how cleanly your appliance is burning.
Opacity is measured in percent; 100% opacity is when an
object is totally obscured by the smoke column from a
chimney, and 0% opacity means that no smoke column can
be seen. As you become familiar with your appliance, you
should periodically check the opacity. This will allow you to
know how to burn as nearly smoke-free as possible (goal of
0% opacity).
CAUTION
!
When burning your first fire, you will experience
smoke and odor from the appliance resulting from the
curing of paint and burning off of any oils remaining
from manufacturing.
OPEN WINDOWS DURING INITIAL BURN TO
DISSIPATE SMOKE AND ODORS!
• Odors may be irritating to sensitive individuals.
• Smoke detectors may activate.
