G. Iginition 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 been burning for approximately 10 minutes. 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.

WARNING

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 or 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.
