Start-up Air System

The combustion air enters at the rear of the firebox through the rear air tubes. This air supply is controlled by the Start- up Air Control.

Primary Air System

The primary air 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 second, third and fourth combustions.

This air is regulated by the Primary Air Control. For more pri- mary air push control “IN”, for less air pull control “OUT”..

This appliance is equipped with a 125° thermally operated snap disc which will automatically turn the blower on when the insert reaches this temperature.

The snap disc is located at the center of the insert, under the lower grille. There is a manual override switch on the right side of the insert. The blower can be controlled manually by switching this switch to ON and operating the blower with the speed control. Figure 27.2.

1.Initial (cold) startup: Leave fan off until your insert is hot and a good coal bed is established, approximately 30 min- utes after fuel is lit.

2.High Burn Setting: The fan may be left on throughout the burn.

3.Medium or Medium High Burn Setting: The fan should be left off until a good burn is established, then turned on a medium or high rate.

4.Low Burn Setting: The fan tends to cool the insert. Leave fan off until the burn is well established; then, if you wish, turn the fan on at a low rate.

5.The fan is equipped with a rheostat (speed control). The highest fan speed is obtained by turning the rheostat on, then adjusting back towards “OFF” as far as possible without turn- ing the fan off. For a low fan speed, turn the control knob clockwise as far as possible.
