Maintaining Catalytic Burn-Off
Warning:
The bypass control becomes hot
during operation - use gloves or a
tool to prevent burns.
This stove uses a catalytic
combustor to increase heat transfer
to the room and reduce emissions.
Follow the directions below to utilize the combustor to its fullest potential.
•
Keep the by-pass open (pulled out) until the stove becomes hot (approximately 15 to 30 minutes).
•
Close the by-pass (push in) when the stove is hot.
•
Keep the by-pass closed (pushed in) while the stove is operating, except when re-loading.
The catalytic temperature probe wire is
located on the left side. Attach it to the meter
(see photo below) and place it near the stove.
How to Check if your Combustor is Working
A combustor temperature probe is included with the
fireplace to monitor the combustor. After the bypass
is engaged, the combustor temperature should rise,
showing combustor operation. Combustor
temperatures over 500° F (260° C) indicate the
combustor is working and igniting unburnt fuel.
The combustor can also be viewed through the glass
from below. You will notice the combustor glowing
red when the combustor is working effectively.

Operating Your Appliance
The catalytic combustor
takes dirty smoke and turns it
into extra heat and cleaner
emissions.
NOTE: If the combustor is engaged
(bypass closed) when the fireplace
is still cool, it will not work, leading
to dirty smoke, no extra heat, and a
dirtier combustor.
Use the included pull tool
to operate the bypass rod

Bypass Pulled Out
With the by-pass open (pulled out), the
smoke passes through the by-pass and does
not go through the combustor.
Bypass Pushed In
With the by-pass closed (pushed in), the
smoke passes through the combustor.
