E. Fire Characteristics
A properly adjusted fire with the heat output control switch set
on “HIGH” has a short active flame pattern that extends out
of the firepot approximately 4 to 6 inches (102-105mm). If
the fire has tall flames with black tails and seems somewhat
lazy, the feed rate will need to be reduced. If the fire is not 4
inches to 6 inches (102-105mm) tall, increase the feed rate.
A medium and low setting will give a shorter flame. The flame
will rise and fall somewhat. This is normal.
The feed adjustment control rod is factory set, and should
be adequate for most fuels. The set screw is located at the
bottom of the hopper and set loose at the factory so the fuel
adjustment control rod will slide by only loosening the wing
nut. Do not re-tighten bottom set screw.
However, if the flame height is too high or too low, you will
F. Feed Rate Adjustment Instructions
need to adjust the feed rate. Wait until the appliance has been
burning for 15 minutes before making your adjustments and
a
llow 15 minutes for feed adjustment to take effect.
1. Open the hopper lid and locate the fuel adjustment control
rod.
2. Loosen the wing nut on the rod.
3. Adjust the fuel adjustment control rod towards the "+"
symbol to increase the feed rate and flame height or
towards the "-" symbol, to decrease the feed rate and
flame height. Make approximately 1/2 inch (13mm)
movements of rod at a time.
4. Re-tighten the wing nut.
G. Ignition Cycles
1. During each ignition cycle, it is normal to see some smoke
in the firebox. The smoke will stop once the fire starts.
2. The convection blower will automatically turn on after your
appliance has reached the set temperature. This blower
transfers heat from your appliance into the room, and will
continue to run after the thermostat has stopped calling
for heat until the appliance has cooled down.
3. Occasionally the appliance may run out of fuel and shut
itself down. When this happens, the red call light will be
on. To restart it, fill the hopper and press the reset button.
When you press the reset button the red call light will go
out. Release the button and the light will come back on.
You should see a fire shortly. If not, follow the instructions
“Starting Your First Fire”.on this page.
