G. Automatic Combustion Control (ACC)

Typically, when you build a fire, you open the air controls fully and monitor the fire to prevent it from going into an overfire situation and/or burning your wood up too quickly before you shut down the air controls to the desired burn rate.

When using the Automatic Combustion Control (ACC) system, you do not have to continually monitor the fire. Once you set the ACC system it will control the fire for you. Follow the instructions below to learn how to operate your stove with ease.

H. Air Controls

1. Start-Up Air Control

The function of the Start-Up Air Control is to activate the Automatic Combustion Control system (ACC).

•Push the Start-Up Air Control all the way back until it stops and then pull forward to the front of the appliance until it stops. Figure 10.1.

•The air channel opens and allows air to enter the front of the appliance for approximately 20-25 minutes.

•The air channel gradually shuts down until it is completely closed at the end of the 20-25 minutes.

•The fire is now controlled by the air supplied by the Burn Rate Air Control. Figure 10.1.

•This function should be performed each time you reload the appliance.

2. Burn Rate Air Control

•The air supply enters at the upper front of the firebox, near the top of the glass door.

•This preheated air supplies the necessary fresh oxygen to mix with the unburned gases, helping to create the second, third and fourth combustion process.

•This air is regulated by the Burn Rate Air Control.

•There are four settings High, Medium-High, Medium-Low and Low.

•When the control is raised all the way up it is on the High setting and when pushed all the down it is on the Low

I. Burn Rates and Operating Efficiency

For maximum operating efficiency

1.Burn dry, well-seasoned wood.

2.Follow these burn rate instructions below and refer to

Figure 10.1.

*NOTE: These are guidelines. Actual settings may vary with type of wood, chimney draft, altitude and other variables.

Burn Rates

1. Starting a Fire and Reloading

•Open both controls fully by raising the Burn Rate Air Con- trol all the way up until it stops and 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.

•After loading the appliance with wood and starting the fire, set both controls to the desired setting by following the burn rate instructions below.

2. High Burn Rate - Maximum Heat*

•Raise the Burn Rate Air Control all the way up until it stops (top marker) to a fully open position.

•Push the Start-Up Air Control all the way back until it stops and leave it there.

•This setting over-rides the timer system (ACC) so you must monitor the fire closely while in this setting.

3.Medium-High Burn Rate - 15,000 to 30,000 BTU/hr*

•Raise the Burn Rate Air Control all the way up until it stops to a fully open position.

•Push the Start-Up Air Control all the way back until it stops and then pull forward until it stops.

•This activates the timer system (ACC).

4.Medium-Low Burn Rate - 10,000 to 15,000 BTU/hr*

•

Raise the Burn Rate Air Control up 1/4 from lowest posi-

 

tion.

•

Push the Start-Up Air Control all the way back until it stops

setting.
