3. Final Stage - The final stage of burning is the charcoal
stage. This occurs when the flammable gases have
been mostly burned and only charcoal remains. This is
a naturally clean portion of the burn. The coals burn with
hot blue flames.
It is very important to reload your appliance while
enough lively hot coals remain in order to provide the
amount of heat needed to dry and rekindle the next load
of wood. It is best to activate the ACC before reloading
(Figure 11.1). This livens up the coal bed and reduces
excessive emissions (opacity/smoke). Open door slowly
so that ash or smoke does not exit appliance through
opening. You should also break up any large chunks and
distribute the coals so that the new wood is laid on hot
coals.
Air quality is important to all of us, and if we choose to use
wood to heat our homes we should do so responsibly.
To do this we need to learn to burn our appliances in
the cleanest way possible. Doing this will allow us to
continue using our wood appliances for many years to
come.
G. Automatic Combustion Control (ACC)
When using the Automatic Combustion Control (ACC)
system, you do not have to continually monitor the fire.
Once you set the ACC system it will control the fire for you.
Follow the instructions below to learn how to operate your
appliance with ease.
To activate:
Push back until it stops and then pull forward until it stops

H. Burn Rate and Operating Efficiency
For maximum operating efficiency
• Burn dry, well-seasoned wood.
• Follow these burn rate instructions below.
Burn Rate
1. Starting a Fire:
- Load appliance with wood and start fire (reference
- Activate ACC.
2. Reloading:
- Add wood as needed.
- Activate ACC.
3. Adjusting the Burn Rate - This wood appliance is
designed to optimize efficiency at all times. Since there
are no user controls to adjust the burn rate, the easiest
method is to learn how many logs you need at a time for
the amount of heat desired. In addition to the amount of
wood and the size of the logs, take the time to experiment
with split and unsplit logs as split logs will burn faster
than unsplit logs.
NOTE: If using the blower, it should be off for the first 30
minutes and then be operated in the desired setting at 30
minutes.
