Maintaining Catalytic Burn-Off
This fireplace uses a catalytic combustor to increase heat transfer to the room and reduce emissions.
The catalytic combustor
takes dirty smoke and turns it
into extra heat and cleaner
emissions.
NOTE: If the combustor is engaged
(bypass closed) when the fireplace
is still cool, it will not work, leading
to dirty smoke, no extra heat, and a
dirtier combustor.
Warning: The bypass control becomes hot during operation - use gloves or a tool to prevent burns.
Follow the directions below to utilize the combustor to its fullest potential.
Keep the by-pass open (pulled out) until the fireplace becomes hot (approximately 15 to 30 minutes).
Close the by-pass (push in) when the fireplace is hot.
Keep the by-pass closed (pushed in) while the fireplace is operating, except when re-loading.
Hint: The combustor can be viewed through the glass from below. You will notice the
combustor glowing red when the combustor is working effectively.

An optional combustor temperature probe is available from your dealer. It allows you to monitor the
combustor temperature, which light off if the temperature is above 600° F.
