2.Fill the hopper with DRY coal.

3.Place some coal on the burn grate, filling the valley in the back.

4.Turn the mode selector dial to the desired mode.

If Room Temp is selected, be sure to turn the temperature dial above the current room temperature.

5.Fill the rest of the grates with a mixture of wood pellets, rice coal, and starting gel.

6.Light the starting gel with a match, and close the door.

E. Fire Characteristics

After lighting the fire, it will go through a few different stages of appearance. First, because of the wood pellets mixed in, you'll see mostly tall yellow flames. As the wood pellets burn away, and some coal begins to ignite, your yellow flames will shorten and mix with blue flames. After the wood pellets are gone and the coal is the only thing burning, you'll see mostly blue flames, which can be invisible in a brightly lit area. As the fire settles in, you'll have about a two inch band of hot burning coals running across the grates. With a maximum temperature demand, the ideal feed rate setting will put this band approximately 1-2 inches back from the end of the grates. Allow at least an hour of burn time between adjustments to the feed rate.

The setting above will produce continuous medium heat output with the distribution blower at low speed.

The setting above will produce continuous maximum heat output with the distribution blower at full speed.
