WARNING! RISK OF FIRE!
Do NOT operate appliance:
• With appliance door open
• With firepot floor open
• With ash pan removed
1. Start-Up Cycle
During this cycle:
• Igniter turns on for 90 seconds to heat up the air in the
firepot
• Combustion blower starts
• Vacuum switch comes on
• Feed motor turns on adding fuel to the firepot and the
appliance waits for the fire to start
The duration of start-up depends on the type and quality of
fuel used. It is normal to see some smoke during the igni-
tion process as moisture evaporates and the fuel lights. The
smoke will stop once the fire starts.
2. Soft Start Cycle (SS-Low / SS-Med)
Once the fire is lit:
• The appliance moves into the low soft-start cycle as it
continues to build the fire
• More fuel will be added
• As the fire builds, the appliance will change to medium
soft-start mode
• The heating cycle begins
3. Heating Cycle ( Auto / Man - L, ML, M, MH, H)
There are two choices in the Automatic / Manual menu of
how your appliance will operate:
Automatic Mode
• The wall control will turn the heat output level up or down
depending on how far the room temperature is from the
desired temperature
• The digital display will read AUTO:M, i.e. automatic-medi-
um level
• As the room temperature approaches the desired tem-
perature, the appliance will turn down to lower settings
• When the home reaches your set temperature, the appli-
ance will go into the shutdown cycle
