Fire CharacteristicsA properly adjusted fire with the heat output control switchset on “high” has a short active flame pattern that extendsout of the firepot approximately 4 inches (102mm). If the firehas tall flames with black tails and seems somewhat lazy,the feed rate will need to be reduced. This is done by slidingthe fuel adjustment control rod down, which will reduce thefeed. If the fire is not 4 inches (102mm) tall, slide the fueladjustment control rod up to increase the feed. A mediumand low setting will give a shorter flame. The flame will riseand fall somewhat. This is normal.Red Call Light islocated on top ofJunction Box behindthe Control Box.ControlBoxF. Iginition Cycles1. During each ignition cycle, it is normal to see somesmoke in the firebox. The smoke will stop once thefire starts.2. The convection blower will automatically turn on afteryour appliance has reached the set temperature onthe “high” setting. This blower transfers heat from yourappliance into the room, and will continue to run afterthe thermostat has stopped calling for heat until theappliance has cooled down.3. Occasionally the appliance may run out of fuel and shutitself down. When this happens, the red call light willbe on. Figure 24.1. To restart it, fill the hopper andpress the reset button. (See Figure 23.1, page 23).When you press the reset button the red call light willgo out. Release the button and the light will come backon. You should see a fire shortly. If not, follow theinstructions on page 23, of “Starting Your First Fire”.Figure 24.2The feed adjustment control rod is factory set, and shouldbe adequate for most fuels. However, if the flame height istoo high or too low, you will need to adjust the feed rate. Waituntil the appliance has been burning for 15 minutes beforemaking your adjustments and a llow 15 minutes for feedadjustment to take effect.G. Feed Rate Adjustment Instructions1. Loosen the set screw 1/4 to 1/2 turn during set-upof appliance. This will allow movement of the feedadjustment control rod. Do not re-tighten set screw.Figure 24.2.2. Loosen the thumb screw.3.
