•
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.

1. Burn dry, well-seasoned wood.
2. Follow these burn rate instructions below and refer to
Figure 12.1
*NOTE: These are guidelines. Actual settings may vary with
type of wood, chimney draft, altitude and other variables.
Burn Rates
1. Starting a Fire and Reloading
•
Open both controls fully by raising the Burn Rate Air Con-
trol all the way up until it stops and push the Start-up Air
Control back until it stops.
• The blower tends to cool the appliance. Leave the blower
off until the burn is well established, i.e., 30 minutes.
•
After loading the appliance with wood and starting the
fire,setbothcontrolstothedesiredsettingbyfollowing
the burn rate instructions below.
2. High Burn Rate - Maximum Heat*
• Raise the Burn Rate Air Control all the way up until it stops
(top marker) to a fully open position.
•
Push the Start-Up Air Control all the way back until it stops
and leave it there.
• This setting over-rides the timer system (ACC) so you

3. Medium-High Burn Rate
-
15,000 to 30,000 BTU/hr*
•
Raise the Burn Rate Air Control all the way up until it
stops (top marker) to a fully open position.
•
Push the Start-Up Air Control all the way back until it
stops and then pull forward until it stops.
