Burn Rate Air Control• 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 oxygento mix with the unburned gases, helping to create thesecond, third and fourth combustion process.• This air is regulated by the Burn Rate Air Control.• There are four settings High, Medium-High, Medium-Lowand Low.• When the control is raised all the way up it is on the Highsetting and when pushed all the down it is on the Lowsetting. Figure 11.1.I. Burn Rates and Operating EfficiencyFor maximum operating efficiency1. This appliance has a timer system (ACC) that operatesthe appliance at its maximum efficiency removing anyguess work for the homeowner. Follow the instructionsbelow for each burn rate for the Start-Up Air Control andBurn Rate Air Control. Figure 11.1.2. Burn dry, well-seasoned wood.Burn Rates1. 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 AirControl back until it stops.• The blower tends to cool the appliance. Leave the bloweroff until the burn is well established, i.e., 30 minutes.• After loading the appliance with wood and starting thefire, set both controls to the desired setting by followingthe 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 stopsand leave it there.• This setting over-rides the timer system (ACC) so youmust monitor the fire closely while in this setting.3. Medium-High Burn Rate - 15,000 to 30,000 BTU/hr*• Raise the Burn Rate Air Control all the way up until itstops (top marker) to a fully open position.• Push the Start-Up Air Control all the way back until itstops and then pull forward until it stops.• This activates the timer system (ACC).4. Medium-Low Burn Rate - 10,000 to 15,000 BTU/hr*• Raise the Burn Rate Air Control up to the bottom of themiddle marker and stop.Figure 11.1 Activating TimerAfter activating the timer (ACC), if the control is placedwithin 3/8 inch (9.5mm) inward from the full OUT position itwill allow rear air to enter the firebox. This will not interferewith the timer gradually closing the front air channel in 20-24minutes. If control is set full inward on “HI” it over-rides thetimer (ACC).*NOTE: These are approximate settings, and will vary withtype of wood or chimney draft. Due to altitude and otherenvironmental circumstances, this operational information isa guideline only.• Push the Start-Up Air Control until it stops.• This activates the timer system (ACC).5. Low Burn Rate - Below 10,000 BTU/hr*• Leave the Burn Rate Air Control at the bottom marker.• Push the Start-Up Air Control all the way back until itstops and then pull forward until it stops.• This activates the timer system (ACC).WARNINGRisk of Fire.When set on High Burn Rate and over-ridingthe Automatic Combustion Control system anoverfire situation can occur and may result in achimney fire.Overfiring will void the stove warranty.HIGHLOWBurn RateAir ControlLow (Closed)High (Opened)(Start-Up AirControl) IN/OUT
