To operate the fan automatically, push the bot- tom switch on the side of the fan housing to "AUTO" and the top switch to either "HIGH" or "LOW" for fan speed.

This will allow the fan to turn on as the stove has come up to operating temperature. It will also shut the fan system off after the fi re has gone out and the unit cooled to below a useful heat output range.

Manual

Tomanually operatethefansystempushthebot- tom switch to "MAN" and the top switch to either "HIGH" or "LOW". This will bypass the sensing device and allow full control of the fan.

Switching from "AUTO" to "MAN" or "HIGH" to "LOW" may be done anytime.

ASH DISPOSAL

During constant use, ashes should be removed every few days. TheAsh Drawer option features a convenient ash dump for easy removal of ash, refer to Modular Installation Options section.

Safety Precautions

1)Do not allow ashes to build up to the loading doors! Only remove ashes when the fire has died down. Even then, expect to fi nd a few hot embers.

2)Please take care to prevent the build-up of ash around the start-up air housing located inside the stove box, under the loading door lip.

3)Never start a fi re if the ash plug and ash drawer are not in place. This will cause over fi ring which can cause excessive warping of the stove. Evidence of over fi ring can void the warranty on your stove.

Ash Drawer Operating Guideline

1)Only clean ashes out of the stove when the unit has cooled down. Remove the plug by lifting on the handle using the tool provided. The plug may still be warm, use caution.

Push the ashes down the hole into the ash drawer, the large pieces can be left in the

firebox and burned during the next fi re or removed through the door opening.

2)Always leave 1/2 to 1 inch of ash in the bottom of the fi rebox. This helps in easier starting and a more uniform burn of your

fire. Replace ash plug when ashes have been removed.

3)Pedestal Units:

To remove the drawer, lift slightly and slide it out. When the drawer is completely out, slide the cover plate over the ash drawer and carry away.

Bottom Shield (with Legs) Units:

To remove the drawer, lift slightly and slide it out, and carry it away.

4)When emptying the ash drawer, make sure the ashes are cold.Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fi tting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible fl oor or on the ground, well away from all combustible ma- terials, pending fi nal disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. Other waste should not be placed in the ash container.

5)Before putting the ash drawer back into place, make sure the ash plug is back in place.

Pedestal Units: make sure the cover lid is off.
