H. Fire Characteristics
A properly adjusted fire with the heat output control button
set on "HIGH" has a short active flame pattern that extends
out of the fire pot approximately 4 inches (102mm). 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 (102mm) 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.

I. Feed Rate Adjustment Instructions
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
need to adjust the feed rate. Wait until the appliance has been
burning for 15 minutes before making your adjustments and
allow 15 minutes for feed adjustment to take effect. Make
adjustments in approximately 1/2 inch increments.
1. Loosen the wing nut. Figure 9.2.
2. 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.
3. Re-tighten the wing nut.
WARNING
Fire Risk.
• High ask fuels, or lack of maintenance, can cause
the fire pot to fill with ash and clinker. If the fire
pot fills to the top, immediately shut down the
appliance and clean.
• Failure to do so could result in smoking, sooting
and possible hoper fires.

J. 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
on page 8, "Starting Your First Fire".
K. Insert Removal
In the case that service or inspection is required the appliance
may need to be removed from the wall.
1. Appliance must be unplugged before removal of appliance
is possible. Unplug the appliance from its power source.
2. Remove insert surround from appliance, to ease the process
of removal.
3. Remove the clip from the exhaust transition from the exhaust
outlet in the back of the appliance. This is what connects
the venting to the appliance. Removal of the clips will allow
you to remove the appliance from the wall without damaging
or adjusting the venting.
4. Slide appliance from the wall and rotate either direction as
needed.
