K. Ignition Cycles

The appliance engine is controlled by the digital thermostat wall control. The digital display on the wall control will tell you what your appliance is doing in the upper left corner (System Status). Figure 29.1.

Figure 29.1

Every time the thermostat calls for heat, the appliance steps through fi ve cycles:

1	Start-Up Cycle	4	Shutdown Cycle
2	Soft-Start Cycle	5	Auto-Clean Cycle
3	Heating Cycle

The duration and characteristics of these cycles may be dif- ferent with each type of fuel selected.

2.Soft Start Cycle (SS-Low / SS-Med)

Once the fi re is lit:

•The appliance moves into the low soft-start cycle as it continues to build the fi re

•More fuel will be added

•As the fi re builds, the appliance will change to medium soft-start mode

•The heating cycle begins

3. Heating Cycle ( Auto / Man - L, ML, M, MH, H)

There are two choices in the Automatic / Manual menu of how your appliance will operate:

Automatic Mode

•The wall control will turn the heat output level up or down depending on how far the room temperature is from the desired temperature

•The digital display will read AUTO:M, i.e. automatic-me- dium level

•As the room temperature approaches the desired tem- perature, the appliance will turn down to lower settings

•When the home reaches your set temperature, the appli- ance will go into the shutdown cycle

WARNING! RISK OF FIRE!

Do NOT operate appliance:

•With appliance door open

•With fi repot fl oor open

•With ash pan removed

1.Start-Up Cycle

During this cycle:

•Igniter turns on for 90 seconds to heat up the air in the fi repot

•Combustion blower starts

•Vacuum switch comes on

•Feed motor turns on adding fuel to the fi repot and the appliance waits for the fi re to start

The duration of start-up depends on the type and quality of fuel used. It is normal to see some smoke during the ignition process as moisture evaporates and the fuel lights. The smoke will stop once the fi re starts.

Manual Mode

•Set the heat output setting from the main screen

•The right bottom button will read HEAT OUTPUT

•You can operate the appliance from any of the 5 levels

•On the lowest level (MAN: L) the appliance will stay on longer, burn less fuel per hour, and will take longer to bring the home up to your desired temperature

•On the highest setting (MAN:H) the appliance will burn more fuel per hour, and bring your home up to tempera- ture more quickly

•In Manual mode the heat output does not change but will stay at the setting you chose until the comfort level is reached (meaning the thermostat has been satisfi ed). Turn to OFF to stop operation.

4.Shutdown Cycle

Once your home has reached your set temperature:

•Appliance will stop feeding fuel and allow the fi re to dimin- ish

•Convection blower will continue to run until the appliance cools to appropriate temperature

•Appliance will begin the auto-clean cycle
