CAUTION
very important that the flames be maintained and not allowed
to go out. This will ensure the cleanest possible fire. If the
flames tend to go out, it is set too low for your burning condi-
tions. The air control located at the upper right hand corner
is used to adjust for burn rates. This is called the Burn Rate
Air Control.
Figure 9.1
3. Final Stage
T
he final stage of burning is the charcoal stage. This occurs
when the flammable gases have been mostly burned and only
charcoal remains. This is a naturally clean portion of the burn.
The coals burn with hot blue flames.
It is very important to reload your appliance while enough
lively hot coals remain in order to provide the amount of heat
needed to dry and rekindle the next load of wood. It is best
to open the Burn Rate Air and Start-Up Air Controls
before
reloading
. This livens up the coal bed and reduces excessive
emissions (opacity/smoke). Open door slowly so that ash or
smoke does not exit appliance through opening. You should
also break up any large chunks and distribute the coals so
that the new wood is laid on hot coals.
Air quality is important to all of us, and if we choose to use
wood to heat our homes we should do so responsibly. To do
this we need to learn to burn our appliances in the cleanest
way possible. Doing this will allow us to continue using our
wood appliances for many years to come.

D. Air Controls
Users will need to find their preferred setting between high and
low based on desired heat output, installation configuration,
and fuel type.
1. Burn Rate Air Control
This air supply enters at the upper front of the firebox, near
the top of the glass door. This preheated air supplies the nec-
essary fresh oxygen to mix with the unburned gases, helping
to create second, third and fourth combustions. This air is
regulated by the Burn Rate Air Control. When the control is
moved all the way up it is on the High setting and when moved
all the way down it is on the Low setting.
Figure 9.1
2. Automatic Combustion Control System (ACC)
To engage the Automatic Combustion Control (ACC) timer
system push the lever towards the back of the appliance to
the “HI” position, then pull towards the front of the appliance
until the knob stops. The timer will slowly close in about
25 minutes. Use this feature when reloading fuel or if you
want more air supplied to the fire.

E. Using Burn Rate Air Control & ACC System
1. Start up and Reloading Fuel
Open both Burn Rate Air Control and ACC systems fully. To
do this with the Burn Rate Air Control push spring handle
up to high. For the ACC timer system push knob towards
back of appliance until the knob is located under the high
position.
Figure 9.1
2. Maximize Heat with The ACC System
To maximize heat output with the ACC timer System or also
known as high burn push the ACC Air Control lever towards
the back of the appliance and leave. This combined with
having the main burn rate control lever pushed up to the
high position will deliver the most amount of air needed to
achieve the highest amount of heat output.

3. Manual Timer Over-Ride
If you need to shut the ACC system off before it goes through
the cycle of shutting itself off; 25 minutes, reach towards the
back of the appliance on the right side and pull the lever
towards the front of the appliance.
