H. Fire Characteristics
A properly adjusted fire with the heat output control switch set
on "high" has a short active flame pattern that extends out of
the firepot approximately 102 to 203mm. The flame will rise
and fall somewhat. This is normal.
If the fire has tall flames with black tails and seems somewhat
lazy, this indicated insufficient air for the volume of fuel being
burnt. Check the fire is clean, the air intake is clear and seals
are intact.
I. Iginition Cycles
1. At the beginning of each ignition cycle, it is normal to see
some smoke in the firebox. The smoke will stop once
the fire starts.
2. The convection blower will automatically turn on after
your appliance has been burning for approximately 10
minutes.
3. This blower transfers heat from your appliance into the
room, and will continue to run after the thermostat has
stopped calling for heat until the appliance has cooled
down.
4. Occasionally the appliance may run out of fuel and shut
itself down. When this happens, the red call light will be
on.
5. To restart it, fill the hopper and press the reset button.
When you press the reset button the red call light will go
out. Release the button and the light will come back on.
6. You should see a fire shortly. If not, follow the instructions
on page 9 of "Starting Your First Fire".
CAUTION
Odors and vapors released during initial operation.
• Curing of high temperature paint.
• Open windows for air circulation.
Odors may be irritating to sensitive individuals.
