R 5700 Step Top Wood Stove Series ACC User Guide 2 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.
R 5700 Step Top Wood Stove Series ACC 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.
R 5700 Step Top Wood Stove Series ACC 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.
R 5700 Step Top Wood Stove Series ACC H. Automatic Combustion Control (ACC) Typically, when you build a fire, you open the air controls fully and monitor the fire to prevent it from going into an overfire situation and/or burning your wood up too quickly before you shut down the air controls to the desired burn rate. HIGH Burn Rate Air Control MED LOW When using the Automatic Combustion Control (ACC) system, you do not have to continually monitor the fire.
R 5700 Step Top Wood Stove Series ACC J. Burn Rates and Operating Efficiency 5. Low Burn Rate* - Below 10,000 BTU/hr For maximum operating efficiency • Leave the Burn Rate Air Control at the bottom marker. Leave the blower off until the burn is well established, i.e., 30 minutes. 1. This appliance has a timer system (ACC) that operates the appliance at its maximum efficiency removing any guess work for the homeowner.
R 5700 Step Top Wood Stove Series ACC INCORRECT POSITIONS K. Correct Baffle & Blanket Placement WARNING! Risk of Fire! Firebox damage due to improper baffle placement is not covered by warranty. Operate the wood burning appliance with the baffle in the correct position only. Not doing so could result in: • Reduced efficiency • Overheating the chimney • Overheating the rear of the firebox • Poor performance Ensure correct baffle placement and replace baffle components if damaged or missing.
R 5700 Step Top Wood Stove Series ACC L. Building A Fire WARNING! Risk of Fire! Keep combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids clear of the fireplace. Do NOT: 9. When ready to reload, It is best to fully open both the Burn Rate Air and Start-up Air Controls before reloading. • This livens up the coalbed and reduces excessive emissions (opacity/smoke). • Open door slowly so that ash or smoke does not exit appliance through opening.
R 5700 Step Top Wood Stove Series ACC M. Wood Fuel Moisture WARNING! Risk of Fire! WARNING! Risk of Fire! • DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA OR ENGINE OIL. • • • Do NOT burn treated wood or wood with salt (driftwood). • • • May generate carbon monooxide if burn material other than wood. May result in illness or possible death. Do NOT burn wet or green wood. Wet, unseasoned wood can cause accumulation of creosote. Store wood in dry location.
R 5700 Step Top Wood Stove Series ACC N. Blower Operating Instructions NOTE: If your Quadra-Fire wood appliance is equipped with an optional blower, you should follow these guidelines: Down (Closed) Up (Open) Burn Rate Air Control Figure 15.2 - Snap Disc Location Start-Up Air Control Push to Open 7.
R 5700 Step Top Wood Stove Series ACC P. Opacity (Smoke) Opacity is the measure of how cleanly your appliance is burning. CAUTION! Odors and vapors released during initial operation may be irritating to sensitive individuals. Open windows for air circulation.
