G. Building A Fire
Before lighting your rst re in the appliance:
NOTE: The special high temperature paint that your
appliance is nished with will cure as your
appliance heats. You will notice an odor and
perhaps see some vapor rise from the appliance
surface; this is normal. We recommend that you
open a window until the odor dissipates and
paint is cured.
NOTE:
• Build re on brick rebox oor.
• Do NOT use grates, andirons or other methods to
support fuel. It will adversely affect emissions.
WARNING
Fire Risk
Do NOT store wood:
• Closer than required clearances to
combustibles to appliance
• Within space required for loading or ash
removal.
Do NOT operate appliance:
• With appliance door open.
• With ash removal system door open.
1. Conrm the bafe is correctly positioned. It should
be even with the front tube and resting on all tubes
(Figure 12.1 and Figure 12.2).
2. Remove all labels from glass and inside of appliance.
There are many ways to build a re. The basic principle is
to light easily-ignitable tinder or paper, which ignites the
fast burning kindling, which in turn ignites the slow-burning
rewood. Here is one method that works well:
3. Open the Burn Rate Air and ACC Controls fully; refer
Start-Up Guide on page 7.
4. Place several wads of crushed paper on the rebox
oor. Heating the ue with slightly crumpled newspaper
before adding kindling keeps smoke to a minimum.
5. Lay small dry sticks of kindling on top of the paper.
6. Make sure that no matches or other combustibles
are in the immediate area of the appliance. Be
sure the room is adequately ventilated and the ue
unobstructed.
7. Light the paper in the appliance. NEVER light or
rekindle re with kerosene, gasoline, or charcoal lighter
uid; the results can be fatal.
8. Once the kindling is burning quickly, add several full-
length logs 3 inches (76mm) or 4 inches (102mm) in
diameter. Be careful not to smother the re. Stack the
pieces of wood carefully; near enough to keep each
other hot, but far enough away from each other to allow
adequate air ow between them.
9. Set the Burn Rate Air Control and activate the ACC
timer system.
10. When ready to reload, It is best to fully open both
the Burn Rate Air and Start-up Air Controls before
reloading. This livens up the coal bed and reduces
excessive emissions (opacity/smoke). Open door
slowly so that ash or smoke does not exit appliance
through opening. Large logs burn slowly, holding a re
longer. Small logs burn fast and hot, giving quick heat.
11. As long as there are hot coals, repeating steps 6
through 8 will maintain a continuous re.
Fire Risk
• Do NOT burn wet or green wood.
• Store wood in dry location.
• Stack wood so both ends are exposed
to air.
Wet, unseasoned wood can cause
accumulation of creosote.
