2 User Guide Operating Instructions WARNING HOT SURFACES! Glass and other surfaces are hot during operation AND cool down. Hot glass will cause burns. • DO NOT touch glass until it is cooled • NEVER allow children to touch glass • Keep children away • CAREFULLY SUPERVISE children in same room as appliance. • Alert children and adults to hazards of high temperatures. High temperatures may ignite clothing or other flammable materials.
B. Fire Safety D. Combustible/Non-combustible Materials To provide reasonable fire safety, the following should be given serious consideration: • 1. Install at least one smoke detector on each floor of your home to ensure your safety. They should be located away from the heating appliance and close to the sleeping areas. Follow the smoke detector manufacturer’s placement and installation instructions, and be sure to maintain regularly. 2. A conveniently located Class A fire extinguisher. 3.
G. Burning Process 2. Second 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 the secondary stage wood gives off flammable gases which burn above the fuel with bright flames. In order to improve the situation, we have developed cleanerburning wood appliances that surpass the requirements for emissions established by our governing agencies.
H. Burn Rate Air Control I. Burn Rates and Operating Efficiency • The air supply enters at the upper front of the firebox, near the top of the glass door. • This preheated air supplies the necessary fresh oxygen to mix with the unburned gases, helping to create second, third and fourth combustions • This air is regulated by the Burn Rate Air Control. • There are four settings High, Medium-High, Medium-Low and Low.
J. Correct Baffle & Blanket Placement INCORRECT POSITIONS WARNING Fire Risk Improper baffle placement may cause: • Overheating of firebox • Overheating the chimney Baffle must be placed properly (see instructions) Replace baffle if damaged or missing. NOTE: A missing, damaged or improperly positioned baffle is dangerous and may cause damage and poor efficiency. It will also void your warranty. Ceramic Blanket and Baffle Board are NOT in contact with the back of the firebox.
K. Building A Fire WARNING Fire Risk. Keep combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids clear of appliance. • Do NOT store flammable materials in the appliance’s vicinity. • DO NOT USE GASOLINE, LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR “FRESHEN UP” A FIRE IN THIS HEATER. • Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use. • Combustible materials may ignite. Before lighting your first fire in the appliance: 1.
L. Wood Fuel & Storage Moisture WARNING Fire Risk. • DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPTHA OR ENGINE OIL. The majority of the problems appliance owners experience are caused by trying to burn wet, unseasoned wood. • Wet, unseasoned wood requires energy to evaporate the water instead of heating your home, and • Causes evaporating moisture which cools your chimney, accelerating formation of creosote. • DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO START A FIRE.
M. Blower Control Box & Snap Disc Operating Instructions 1. The blower will turn on/off automatically when set to AUTO. Figure 14.1. 2. When set to MANUAL, the fan will turn on/off only when you turn it on or off. This setting over-rides the internal snap disc. 3. Blower Controls are located on bottom left of appliance. N. Blower Operating Instructions 1. Initial (cold) startup: Raise the Burn Rate Air Control all the way up to the High setting. The blower tends to cool the appliance.
Q. Opacity (Smoke) O. Clear Space • Do NOT place combustible objects within 4 ft (1.2 m) of the front of fireplace. Figure 15.1. Fire Risk. • Opacity is measured in percent: • 100% opacity is when an object is totally obscured by the smoke column from a chimney, and WARNING • Opacity is the measure of how cleanly your appliance is burning. Do NOT place combustible objects within 48 inches in front of the appliance. High temperatures may ignite clothing, furniture or draperies.
R. Quick Start Guide Note: This are generic drawings and may not represent your specific model. FIRST FIRE ITEMS NEEDED: OPEN AIR CONTROL 10 Pieces of Newspaper, 10-20 Pieces of Dry Kindling and a Few Pieces of Dry Split Wood.
3 Maintenance and Service A. Disposal of Ashes • • Frequency: When ash is within 1-3/4 inch (44mm) of firebox lip. Leave 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6-13mm) of ash in the bottom of the firebox. By: Homeowner WARNING! Risk of Fire! Ashes could contain hot embers. • Place ashes in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. • The closed container should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal.
E. Inspect Firebrick & Replacement Instructions D. Glass Cleaning • Frequency: As desired • By: Homeowner • Clean glass with a non-abrasive glass cleaner. Abrasive cleaners may scratch and cause glass to crack. • If the deposits on the glass are not very heavy, normal glass cleaners work well. Heavier deposits may be removed by using a damp cloth dipped in wood ashes or by using a commercially available oven cleaner.
F. Quick Reference Maintenance Guide CAUTION! Allow the appliance to completely cool down before performing any cleaning or maintenance. Baffle & Blanket Blanket Baffle Optional Blower Chimney System Frequency Start the first inspection after the first 2 months of use, or if performance changes, and adjust your schedule accordingly. Maintenance is required for safe operation and must be performed to maintain your warranty.
