R 4100-I ACT WOOD INSERT OPERATION WOOD SELECTION AND STORAGE Burn only dry seasoned wood. Dry, well-seasoned wood will not only minimize the chance of creosote formation but will give you the most efficient heat output. Even dry wood contains at least 15% moisture by weight and should be burned hot enough to keep the chimney hot enough to maintain particulate (smoke) burning. Burning unseasoned wood of any variety defeats the inserts’ efficiency.
R 4100-I ACT WOOD INSERT OPERATING TIPS HEAT OUTPUT RATES For maximum operating efficiency with the lowest emissions, follow these operating procedures: 1. Regardless of desired heat output, when loading insert, burn your Quadra-Fire with both air controls wide open for a minimum of 5 to 15 minutes. 2. Regulate burn rate (heat output) by using the Primary Control (top rod). The Start-Up Air Control (bottom rod) is used for initial start-up and reloading. 3.
R 4100-I ACT WOOD INSERT BURNING PROCESS Final Stage In recent years there has been an increasing concern about air quality. Much of the blame for poor air quality has been placed on the burning of wood for home heating. In order to improve the situation, we at Quadra-Fire have developed cleaner-burning wood stoves and inserts that surpass the requirements for emissions established by our governing agencies.
R 4100-I ACT WOOD INSERT MAINTENANCE CARE AND CLEANING OF PLATED SURFACES IMPORTANT: You must clean all the fingerprints and oils from the plated surfaces before firing the insert for the first time. Use warm soapy water and a soft rag, glass cleaner and a paper towel, or vinegar and a paper towel to remove the oils. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners! If not cleaned properly prior to lighting the first fire, the oils can cause permanent stains.
