Lighting A Fire; Loading The Appliance; Heat Output Control; Achieving Burn Rates - Quadra-Fire Adventure-III Owner's Manual

3. Lighting the Fire
1. Set the thermostat to the desired temperature.
2. Push the SBT button (the air control will open and
the light should illuminate green)
3. Place 2 small logs 6" in diameter or less in the firebox,
one on each side.
4. Place several wads of crushed paper on the firebox
floor.
5. Lay small sticks of kindling on top of the paper in a
crosshatch pattern to allow air flow.
6. Place 1 piece of crumpled paper on top of the kindling.
7. Light the top piece of paper and the paper under the
kindling and close the door.
a. It may be necessary to keep the door slightly
open until the fire gets established.
8. Once the kindling is burning, slowly open the door and
add several full length split logs 3 to 4 inches in diameter.
Be careful not to smother the fire. Stack the pieces of
wood carefully; near enough to keep each other hot,
but far enough away to allow adequate air flow between
them.
9. After establishing a good fire, load the appliance full
of wood.
4. Reloading the Appliance
If the light is red or the appliance needs more fuel, push
the button, open the door slowly, stir up the coals, load
the wood and shut the door.
When the activation button is pushed, regardless of the
temperature set on the thermostat, the appliance will
burn on high and go through the high burn cycle until
the appliance has warmed up and reached the maximum
operating temperature. If the thermostat is not calling for
heat, the appliance will progress to low burn setting and
continue burning at that rate until the thermostat calls for
heat (the room temperature is less than the thermostat
is set for).
E. Heat Output Control
The Adventure II is designed to operate with a program-
mable wall thermostat. Set the desired room temperature
on the thermostat and the appliance heat output will adjust
as necessary to maintain the room temperature.
WARNING! Risk of Fire!
This wood appliance has manufacturer-set minimum low
burn rate that must not be altered. It is against federal
regulations to alter this setting or otherwise operate this
wood appliance in a manner inconsistent with operating
instructions in this manual.

F. Achieving Burn Rates
Although using the thermostat to maintain the desired
room temperature is the recommended method, specific
burn rates can be achieved if desired.
If optional fan is installed, turn the fan off to ensure it
does not come on automatically before the appliance is
thoroughly heated up.
• High Burn (maximum heat) -
Setting the thermostat at a temperature above what the
room will achieve, for example, 90 ° on the thermostat
will cause the appliance to burn continuously on high.
Press the activation button to activate the system and
load fuel. The blower can be turned on after 30 minutes.
• Medium High Burn (15,000 to 30,000 BTU) -
Program the thermostat to a temperature for 30 minutes
above what the room will achieve, for example 90°.
Then program the thermostat to a temperature for 7
hours below what the room temperature will drop to, for
example 45°. Then program the thermostat for 2 hours
at 90°.
Press the activation button to activate the system and
load fuel. The air control will open and the light should
illuminate. Leave the blower off for at least 30 minutes
after pushing the activation button.
Press the lower left button on the thermostat to start the
programmed event.
• Medium Low Burn (10,000 to 15,000 BTU) -
Set the thermostat to a temperature below what the room
temperature will drop to, for example 45°. Press the
activation button to activate the system and load fuel.
Leave the blower off for at least 30 minutes.
Low Burn (below 11,000) -
•
Set the thermostat to a temperature below what the room
temperature will drop to, for example 45°. Press the
activation button to activate the system and load fuel.
Leave the blower off for at least 30 minutes.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Keep combustible materials,
gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids clear of
the appliance.
DO NOT:
• store flammable materials close to the appliance
• use gasoline, lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter
fluid or similar liquids to start or "freshen up" a fire in this
appliance.
Keep all flammable liquids well away from the appliance
while it is in use. Combustible materials may ignite.
