5 OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS 5.1 Fuel The Elegance 36 is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher efficiencies and lower emissions generally result when burning air dried seasoned hardwoods (moisture content below 20%), as compared to softwoods or to green or freshly cut hardwoods. The following are a few signs indicating that firewood is sufficiently dry for use: (a) cracks on the ends and surface of the logs, (b) lighter in weight, and (c) color (yellow/grey).
The left combustion control lever is the Activator. When starting a fire or adding a new load of wood, the Activator must be pushed in to allow maximum air to enter the firebox. The right combustion control lever is the Burn Rate Selector.
used, the door should remain closed at all times. Failing to do so is a safety hazard, will damage the fireplace and void the warranty. WARNING: Do not use fire accelerants to rekindle the fire if the first attempt to start the fire failed. Do not open the door.
6 TROUBLESHOOTING 6.1 Backdraft / Smoking Draft is the force created by a difference in pressure, which moves air from the appliance up through the chimney. It is important to operate the Elegance 36 with proper draft to ensure optimal performance of the unit. Draft is depended on the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and other factors.
7 MAINTENANCE 7.1 Disposal of Ashes Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal.
