B. Automatic Combustion Control (ACC)
Typically, when you build a fire, you open the air controls fully
and monitor the fire to prevent it from going into an overfire
situation and/or burning your wood up too quickly before you
shut down the air controls to the desired burn rate.
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 stove with
ease.
C. Air Controls
1. Start-Up Air Control
The function of the Start-Up Air Control is to activate the
Automatic Combustion Control system (ACC).
• Push the Start-Up Air Control all the way back until it stops
and then pull forward to the front of the appliance until it
stops. Figure 5.1.
• The air channel opens and allows air to enter the front of
the appliance for approximately 20-25 minutes.
• The air channel gradually shuts down until it is completely
closed at the end of the 20-25 minutes.
• The fire is now controlled by the air supplied by the Burn
Rate Air Control. Figure 5.1.
• This function should be performed each time you reload
the appliance.
2. Burn Rate Air Control
The air supply enters at the upper front of the firebox,
near the top of the glass door.
This preheated air supplies the necessary fresh oxygen
to mix with the unburned gases, helping to create the
second, third and fourth combustion process.
• This air is regulated by the Burn Rate Air Control.
There are four settings High, Medium-High, Medium-Low
and Low.
When the control is raised all the way up it is on the High
setting and when pushed all the down it is on the Low
setting.
To activate: Push back until it stops
and then pull forward until it stops
