H. Fire Characteristics
A properly adjusted fi re with the heat output control button
set on "HIGH" has a short active fl ame pattern that extends
out of the fi repot approximately 4 inches (102mm). If the fi re
has tall fl ames with black tails and seems somewhat lazy, the
feed rate will need to be reduced. If the fi re is not 4 inches
(102mm) tall, increase the feed rate. A medium and low
setting will give a shorter fl ame. The fl ame 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 fl ame height or
towards the "-" symbol, to decrease the feed rate and
fl ame height.
3. Re-tighten the wing nut.
WARNING
Fire Risk.
• High ask fuels, or lack of maintenance, can
cause the fi repot to fi ll with ash and clinker. If the
fi repot fi lls to the top, immediately shut down the
appliance and clean.
• Failure to do so could result in smoking, sooting
and possible hoper fi res.

J. Ignition Cycles
1. During each ignition cycle, it is normal to see some smoke
in the fi rebox. The smoke will stop once the fi re 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, fi ll 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 fi re 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 unit may
need to be removed from the wall.
1. Unit must be unplugged before removal of unit is possible.
Unplug the unit from its power source.
2. Remove insert surround from unit, to ease the process of
removal.
3. Unclip the exhaust transition from the exhaust outlet in the
back of the unit. This is what connects the venting to the
unit. Removal of the clips will allow you to remove the unit
from the wall without damaging or adjusting the venting.
4. Slide unit from the wall and rotate either direction as needed.
