Bypass Operation
The bypass controls the flow of smoke inside the heater. When pulled out, smoke goes directly up the
flue, creating more draft. When pushed in, the smoke goes around the baffle, through the combustor,
utilizing secondary combustion and making the heater more efficient.
 When starting or re-loading, pull the bypass out, if necessary.
 During normal operation, push the bypass in.
Maintaining Catalytic Burn-Off
This fireplace uses a catalytic combustor
to increase heat transfer to the room and
reduce emissions.
Follow the directions below to utilize
the combustor to its fullest potential.
• Keep the by-pass open (pulled out) until the fireplace becomes hot (approximately 15 to 30 minutes).
• Close the by-pass (push in) when the fireplace is hot.
• Keep the by-pass closed (pushed in) while the fireplace is operating, except when re-loading.
How to Check if your Combustor is Working
A combustor temperature probe is included with the fireplace to
monitor the combustor. After the bypass is engaged, the
combustor temperature should rise, showing combustor
operation. Combustor temperatures over 500° F (260° C),
indicate the combustor is working and igniting unburnt fuel.
The combustor can also be viewed through the glass from
below. You will notice the combustor glowing red when the
combustor is working effectively.

The catalytic combustor
takes dirty smoke and turns it
into extra heat and cleaner
emissions.
NOTE: If the combustor is engaged
(bypass closed) when the fireplace
is still cool, it will not work, leading
to dirty smoke, no extra heat, and a
dirtier combustor.
