C. Before Your First Fire
• Be sure the appliance is installed properly and
that all safety requirements have been met.
Pay particular attention to the clearances to
combustibles, oor protection and the venting
instructions.
• Test your smoke detector(s) and CO detector(s) to
the specications of the manufacturer.
• Double check that the ash pan and internal rebox
are empty.
• Be sure to read this entire manual.
D. Starting Your First Fire
1. With the mode selector in the "OFF" position, and
the Feed Adjuster NOT on "Test", plug the power
cord into a properly grounded receptacle.
2. Fill the hopper with DRY coal.
3. Place some coal on the burn grate, lling the valley
in the back.
4. Turn the mode selector dial to the desired mode.
If Room Temp is selected, be sure to turn
the temperature dial above the current room
temperature.
5. Fill the rest of the grates with a mixture of wood
pellets, rice coal, and starting gel.
6. Light the starting gel with a match, and close the
door.
7. Only after the ESP temperature increases, will the
feeder start operating to increase the re size.
NEVER APPLY STARTING GEL TO THE STARTING
MIXTURE WITHOUT THE COMBUSTION BLOWER
OPERATING.

E. Fire Characteristics
After lighting the re, it will go through a few different
stages of appearance. First, because of the wood
pellets mixed in, you'll see mostly tall yellow ames.
As the wood pellets burn away, and some coal begins
to ignite, your yellow ames will shorten and mix with
blue ames. After the wood pellets are gone and the
coal is the only thing burning, you'll see mostly blue
ames, which can be invisible in a brightly lit area. As
the re settles in, you'll have about a two inch band
of hot burning coals running across the grates. With
a maximum temperature demand, the ideal feed rate
setting will put this band approximately 1-2 inches
back from the end of the grates. Allow at least an hour
of burn time between adjustments to the feed rate.
The setting above will produce continuous maximum heat output
with the distribution blower at full speed.
The setting above will produce continuous medium heat output with
the distribution blower at low speed.
