NOTE: If maintenance or daily cleaning is going to be
conducted immediately following a shutdown, please use
caution as components especially those inside the firebox
may still be hot.
K. Fire Characteristics
The overall height of the flame will vary throughout the burn
for a couple of reasons:
1) The flame will vary based on type of fuel or batch of
fuel.
2) The unit adjusts the burn rate according to the dial set-
ting – the further the dial is rotated clockwise the higher
the flame and consequently, heat output.
3) General maintenance and cleaning. Infrequent or poor
general maintenance will result in poorer performance.
Indicators for additional maintenance activities include:
• lazy flame
• black-sooted glass
• pellets not igniting
• excess pellets fall ing to the side of the fire pot
4) See trim adjustment section for additional information.
CAUTION
Odors and vapors released during initial operation.
• Curing of high temperature paint.
• Open windows for air circulation.
Odors may be irritating to sensitive individuals.
NOTICE: If you expect children to come into contact with
this appliance, we recommend a barrier such as a decora-
tive screen. See your retailer for suggestions.
