Ignition Cycles - Quadra-Fire MT VERNON Owner's Manual

Operating on Battery Back-Up
• A battery icon appears on your wall control to let you
know you are now operating on battery power (Figure
10.2).
• The fire must be manually lit as the appliance will no
longer automatically light. Follow the instructions in the
Wall Control Manual.
• Use only approved fire starting gel to start the fire.
• The high burn rate is no longer available on battery
back-up.
• Each level drops down one level, i.e the high burn
becomes medium-high burn and so on.
• If the battery charge falls below 10 volt it can no longer
sustain the appliance operation and the appliance will
shut down (Figure 10.1). You must disconnect and
reconnect the battery to start it up again.
Recommended Battery
• 12 volt deep cycle battery, (i.e., marine or RV type).
• A 12 volt battery cable is available through your local
dealer.

L. Ignition Cycles
The appliance engine is controlled by the digital thermostat
wall control. The digital display on the wall control will tell
you what your appliance is doing in the upper left corner
(System Status) (Figure 15.3).
Figure 15.3
Every time the thermostat calls for heat, the appliance
steps through five cycles:
1
Start-Up Cycle
2 Soft-Start Cycle
3 Heating Cycle
4 Shutdown Cycle
5
Auto-Clean Cycle
The duration and characteristics of these cycles may be
different with each type of fuel selected.
Fire Risk
Do NOT operate appliance:
• With appliance door open.
• Fire pot floor open.
• Cleaning slide plates open.
Do NOT store fuel:
• Closer than required clearances to
combustibles to appliance
• Within space required for loading or ash
removal.
1. Start-Up Cycle
During this cycle:
• Igniter turns on for 90 seconds to heat up the air in the
fire pot
• Combustion blower starts
• Vacuum switch comes on
• Feed motor turns on adding fuel to the fire pot and the
appliance waits for the fire to start
The duration of start-up depends on the type and quality
of fuel used. It is normal to see some smoke during the
ignition process as moisture evaporates and the fuel lights.
The smoke will stop once the fire starts.
NOTE: Appliance may take longer to start up in extreme
cold conditions
