I. Burn Rates and Operating Efficiency
WARNING
Risk of Fire.
When set on High Burn Rate and over-riding
the Automatic Combustion Control system an
over fire situation can occur and may result in a
chimney fire.
Over firing will void the appliance warranty.
This wood heater has a 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 heater in a manner inconsistent with operating
instructions in this manual.
For maximum operating efficiency
1. Burn dry, well-seasoned wood.
2. Follow these burn rate instructions below (Figure 11.2).
Burn Rates
*NOTE: These are guidelines. Actual settings may vary
with type of wood, chimney draft, altitude and
other variables.
1. Starting a Fire and Reloading
Open both controls fully by raising the Burn Rate
Air Control all the way up until it stops and push the
Start-up Air Control back until it stops.
The blower tends to cool the appliance. Leave the
blower off until the burn is well established, i.e., 30
minutes.
After loading the appliance with wood and starting the
fire, set both controls to the desired setting by following
the burn rate instructions below.
2. High Burn Rate - Maximum Heat*
Raise the Burn Rate Air Control all the way up until it
stops (top marker) to a fully open position.
Push the Start-Up Air Control all the way back until it
stops and leave it there.
This setting over-rides the timer system (ACC) so you
must monitor the fire closely while in this setting.
3. Medium-High Burn Rate - 15,000 to 30,000 BTU/hr*

Push the Start-Up Air Control all the way back until it
stops and then pull forward until it stops.
This activates the timer system (ACC).
5. Low Burn Rate - Below 10,000 BTU/hr*
Leave the Burn Rate Air Control at the bottom marker.
Push the Start-Up Air Control all the way back until it
stops and then pull forward until it stops.
This activates the timer system (ACC).
*NOTE: These are approximate settings, and will vary
with type of wood or chimney draft. Due to altitude
and other environmental circumstances, this
operational information is a guideline only.

Figure 11.2 - Activating Timer
After activating the timer (ACC), if the control is placed
within 3/8 inch (9.5mm) inward from the full OUT position it
will allow rear air to enter the firebox. This will not interfere
with the timer gradually closing the front air channel in 20-
25 minutes. If control is set full inward on "HI" it over-rides
the timer (ACC).
