G. Ignition Cycles

1.During each ignition cycle, it is normal to see some smoke in the firebox. The smoke will stop once the fire starts.

2.The convection blower will automatically turn on after your appliance has reached the set temperature on the “high” setting. This blower transfers heat from your appliance into the room, and will continue to run after the thermostat has stopped calling for heat until the appliance has cooled down.

3.Occasionally the appliance may run out of fuel and shut itself down. When this happens, the red call light will be on. To restart it, fill the hopper and press the reset button. (See Figure 23.1, page 23). When you press the reset button the red call light will go out. Release the button and the light will come back on. You should see a fire shortly. If not, follow the instructions on page 24, of “Starting Your First Fire”.

H. Frequently Asked Questions

	ISSUES		SOLUTIONS
1.	Metallic noise.	1.	Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as
			it heats up and cools down, similar to the sound pro-
			duced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not
			affect the operation or longevity of your insert.
2.	Ash buildup on glass.	2.	This is normal. Clean the glass.
3.	Glass has turned dirty.	3.	Excessive build up of ash. The lower burn settings will
			produce more ash, the higher burn settings produce
			less. The more it burns on low the more frequent clean-
			ing of the glass is required.
4.	Fire has tall flames with black tails and is lazy.	4.	The feed rate needs to be reduced or the firepot needs
			cleaning. Heat exchanger of exhaust blower needs
			cleaning.
5.	Smokey start-up or puffs of smoke from the airwash.	5.	Either the firepot is dirty or there is too much fuel at
			start-up and not enough air. Close down feed rate 1/4
			inch at a time until this no longer happens.
6.	Large flame at start-up.	6.	This is normal. Flame will settle down once the fire is
			established.
