NOTE
: Build fire on brick firebox floor. Do NOT use
grates, andirons or other methods to support fuel. It will
adversely affect emissions.
1. Confirm the baffle and ceramic blanket are correctly
positioned. It should be even with the front tube and
resting on all tubes
(Figure 2.3 and Figure 2.4).
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 firewood.
Here is one method that works well:
3. Activate ACC.
4. Load 1 or 2 small pieces of dry split wood into the firebox
floor.
5. Place several wads of crushed paper on top of the dry
split wood.
6. Lay small dry sticks of kindling on top of the paper.
7. 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.
8. Light the paper in the appliance. NEVER light or rekindle
fire with kerosene, gasoline, or charcoal lighter fluid; the
results can be fatal.
9. 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.
10. Activate the timer system (ACC).
- 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.
- Large logs burn slowly, holding a fire longer.
- Small logs burn fast and hot, giving quick heat.
Fuel reloading:
1. This appliance has a large door with an exceptional
view of the fire.
- Door opens 26 inches (660mm) which goes beyond
the standard size hearth pad covering the floor in
front of the appliance.
- May want to use a hearth rug in front of the hearth
pad to protect the flooring from ash spillage and
continuous cleaning of carpet, etc.
1. Open door slowly so that ash or smoke does not exit
appliance through opening.
- Check the level of the ash build-up. Remove ash if it
reaches the top of the brick covers. Ash should not be
spilling over the brick covers onto the ash lip.
- Any ash or coals on the ash lip can be pressed into
the door gasket and shorten the life of the gasket.
- If the ash is left to accumulate on the ash lip it can
interfere with the door closing and/or falling out onto
the hearth pad or beyond.
Check the ash level each time you reload.
