Step 4 On top of both the newspaper and the lighter wood, place two well seasoned, small- sized logs; one at the front, one directly behind it, and another small one in the middle top of the other two. A small log on the top avoids smothering the fire.
Step 5 After the fire starts to burn, leave damper open and close fireplace doors (optional), if installed. If equipped with Fireplace Doors (optional) open the door’s draft control and bring the fire to desired burn with these controls.
Step 6 Allow the fireplace to warm thoroughly and all logs to begin burning well before either adding additional wood or closing your draft controls. This will normally require fifteen minutes or longer.
Step 7 Adjust your wall thermostat to the desired setting. The blowers are equipped with speed controls to adjust airflow through the unit. These speed controls do not have an off position and can only minimize or maximize airflow by turning the speed control knob located on the front blower grille. As the fire heats up the fireplace furnace, the air discharge snap disc will close and the blowers will turn on unless the thermostat is not calling for heat. Once the fireplace furnace cools down, the thermostat or the air discharge snap disc will automatically shut the blowers off. Do not use speed controls with an “off position” as this may cause the fireplace furnace system to overheat.
Step 8 Adjust the variable speed fans to the desired speed setting by rotating the individual knobs located in the middle of the blower box grilles.
INTERNAL THERMOSTAT
The internal air discharge thermostat (snap disc) is located on the inside right of the hot air discharge grille on the front of the Smart Fireplace Furnace. This snap disc activates the fireplace blowers once the air temperature in the discharge grille rises past 110º F. This same air discharge snap disc will automatically turn off the blower systems when the discharge temperature drops below about 90º F. This snap disc, along with a wall thermostat works controls the temperature of when the blower system operates. The combination of the air discharge snap disc and the wall thermostat ensures that a specific fireplace will not blow cold air or overheat the room by continuing to blow hot air when a specific room temperature has been reached.
DISPOSAL OF ASHES
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from any and all combustible materials, pending final disposal of the cool ashes. All ashes should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. Ashes may also be removed through the ash dump opening.
USE OF LIQUID FUELS
Never use gasoline,
CREOSOTE FORMATION AND REMOVAL
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue or a slow- burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote
