Automatic Combustion Control (Acc); Air Controls - Quadra-Fire 31I-ACC Owner's Manual

3100-I ACC Wood Insert
G. 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.
H. Air Controls
1. Start-Up Air Control
The Start-Up Air Control has two primary functions.
The first function 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 10.1.
• The front air channel opens and allows air to enter the front
of the appliance for approximately 20-24 minutes.
• The front air channel gradually shuts down until it is com-
pletely closed at the end of the 20-24 minutes.
• The fire is now controlled by the air supplied by the Burn
Rate Air Control. Figure 10.1.
• This function should be performed each time you reload
the appliance.
The second function of the Start-Up Air Control is operation
of the rear air system.
• Push the Start-Up Air Control /8 inch (9.5mm) back to
allow rear air to enter the firebox. Figure 10.1.
• The rear air is used primarily during a High Burn Rate.
• In some instances rear air is desired during normal opera-
tion to help with combustion of fuel towards the back of
the firebox particularly when burning hardwoods.
• The rear air is controlled independently from the ACC
system
2. Manual Timer Over-Ride
If you need to shut the ACC system off before it shuts itself
off after 25 minutes (i.e. overfire situation), lift up on the Start-
up Air Control and pull out from the appliance. Figure 10.2.
