7. When the split wood starts to turn to charcoal, the firebox can be filled with seasoned wood. Allow this wood to burn (with the door cracked) for another ten to fifteen (10 to 15) minutes. 8. Close the door completely, leaving the draft controls in the open position. Push in the by-pass damper handle after about five (5) minutes. Note: You will notice the flame die down; however, this does not mean the fire has gone out. This unit is designed to burn wood more efficiently and slower-burning wood does not generate much flame. 9. Once you are sure the combustor is operating properly, the slide damper on the front of the stove can be adjusted to the desired burn rate. Note: It is important the above procedures be followed to ensure the catalytic combustor reaches the proper temperature. It is recommended the combustor be operated at 770 to 1400 degrees Fahrenheit; the combustor must be above 500 degrees Fahrenheit before it will accept the smoke. Operating the combustor above 1800 degrees will damage the combustor, although temperatures between 1400 and 1600 degrees are common. If minor build-up is evident on the combustor, run the stove at a high rate for two to three hours with the by-pass damper partially open. This will help the combustor clean itself of minor contamination. (Call 800-516-3636 to order Part # AC-14 – Catalytic Thermometer for fireplace inserts.) B. Draft Control The unit has a slide damper located above the door that allows combustion air to enter the stove, and controls the amount of air and the total heat output of the unit. In the right position the damper is completely closed, and sliding it to the left allows air to enter the firebox. You will need to experiment with your stove to find the best position for your combustion air, as no two flues are alike. The long burn cycle can usually be accomplished with an opening of one-half to one inch (1/2” to 1”). Remember that all flue systems draw differently. C. Do Not Over-Fire Your Stove Burning flammable liquids, large amounts of wood or trash in your stove may result in over-firing the unit. If the chimney connector pipe turns red or white, the unit is over-fired; this condition may ignite creosote in the chimney and possibly cause a house fire. If this happens, immediately close the combustion air draft control and the by-pass damper. A chimney fire may cause structural damage to the flue system, which should not be used again until it is thoroughly inspected. A chimney sweep can perform this inspection and make repairs if necessary. D. Everyday Fueling This unit is designed to burn eight to ten hours on one filling of seasoned wood. At the end of the long burn cycle you should follow the listed procedure for the next long burn cycle. 1. Always open (pull out) the by-pass damper before opening the front door of the stove. Then, open the combustion air damper by sliding it completely to the left. 2. Crack the door about one inch (1”) for three to five minutes. This will allow the draft to increase and clear the smoke that is in the stove. 3. Open the door slowly and you should see a bed of hot ashes. Smooth out the ashes and fill the unit with dry seasoned wood (split wood burns considerably better than logs). Please refer to Building A Fire (earlier in the manual) if your fire has gone out. 4. Allow the stove to burn for about 15 to 20 minutes with the door cracked one-half inch (.”). 5. You can close the door completely, but leave the draft controls open. Allow the stove to burn 10 to 15 minutes in this mode. 6. Close the by-pass damper and burn the unit for another 5 minutes. 7. Once the combustor is accepting the fumes, the slide damper can be adjusted to your preferred setting. E. Ash Removal and Disposal Regularly inspect the ash build-up in your stove and remove as necessary. Ashes should be placed in a metal container with an airtight lid. Pending final disposal, the ashes should be placed on a non-combustible surface or on the ground, completely away from all combustible materials. The ashes should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. If you have a masonry or pre- manufactured system, it is essential that your flue be checked for creosote at least once per month. SECTION VI: CARE AND MAINTENANCE A. Catalytic Maintenance and Replacement Note – Your unit will have a 3” thick, 25-cell combustor (manufactured by Applied Ceramics), or it will have a 1” thick, “ceramic foam” type combustor (manufactured by Clear Skies). The following instructions apply to both types, unless otherwise specified. 1. To reach the catalytic combustor, first take out the flame impingement plate by removing the four (4) 3/8” brass nuts (they take a 9/16” wrench). Once the nuts are removed the plate should drop from the bolts and allow you to see the bottom of your combustor. 2. For 25-cell Applied Ceramics combustor: If the combustor is plugged up you will see black soot within the cells on the bottom side of the ...
