3. 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 setting. Figure 11.1.

I. Burn Rates and Operating Efficiency

For maximum operating efficiency

1.This appliance has a timer system (ACC) that operates the appliance at its maximum efficiency removing any guess work for the homeowner. Follow the instructions below for each burn rate for the Start-Up Air Control and Burn Rate Air Control. Figure 11.1.

2.Burn dry, well-seasoned wood.

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 (top marker) 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 to the bottom of the middle marker and stop.

Push the Start-Up Air Control until it stops.

This activates the timer system (ACC).

5. Low Burn Rate - Below 10,000 BTU/hr*

Leave the Burn Rate Air Control at the bottom marker.

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).

*NOTE: These are approximate settings, and will vary with type of wood or chimney draft. Due to altitude and other environmental circumstances, this operational information is a guideline only.

WARNING

Risk of Fire.

When set on High Burn Rate and over-riding the Automatic Combustion Control system an overfire situation can occur and may result in a chimney fire.

Overfiring will void the stove warranty.
