1. 

Initial (cold) startup:  Leave fan off until your insert is hot 

and a good coal bed is established, approximately 0 min-

utes after fuel is lit.

2. 

High Burn Setting:  The fan may be left on throughout the 

burn.

. 

Medium or Medium High Burn Setting:  The fan should 

be left off until a good burn is established, then turned on a 

medium or high rate.

4. 

Low Burn Setting:  The fan tends to cool the insert.  Leave 

fan off until the burn is well established; then, if you wish, turn 

the fan on at a low rate.  

5. The  fan  is  equipped  with  a  rheostat  (speed  control).    The 

highest fan speed is obtained by turning the rheostat on, then 

adjusting back towards “OFF” as far as possible without turn-

ing the fan off.  For a low fan speed, turn the control knob 

clockwise as far as possible.

Remove cold ashes (not hot) from the insert at regular intervals, 

depending on your usage.  Ashes should be placed in a metal 

container with a tight fitting lid.  The closed container of ashes 

should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground, 

well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal.  

If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally 

dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until 

all  cinders  have  thoroughly  cooled.   Always  treat  ashes  as  if 

they contain hot coals. 

For maximum operating efficiency with the lowest emissions, 

follow these operating procedures:
1.  Regardless of desired heat output, when loading insert, 

burn your Quadra-Fire with both air controls wide open for 

a minimum of 5 to 15 minutes.

2.  Regulate burn rate (heat output) by using the Primary Con-

trol (center control under ashlip).  The Start-Up Air Control 

(right control) is mainly for initial start-up and reloading.

.  Heat output settings:  Follow burn rate instructions listed 

below.

4.  Burn only dry, well-seasoned wood.

STARTING FIRE:  Open both controls (push in) completely.  

After a wood load has been burning on high for 5 to 15 minutes 

or longer for very large pieces, close the Start-Up Air Control 

(bottom rod) by pulling it out.  
HIGH:  Leave the Primary Air Control fully open (immediately 

under the ashcatcher).  It is especially important to fully open 

both controls when reloading the insert as failure to do so could 

result in excessive emissions, also referred to as ‘opacity’.
After a wood load has been burning on high for 5 to 15 

the controls as listed below: 
MEDIUM HIGH:  Close the Primary Air Control to 1/4 inch to 

1.0 inch (6mm to 25mm) open.  Start-Up Air is closed.
MEDIUM:   Close the Primary Air Control to 1/8 inch to 1/4 

inch 

(mm to 6mm) open.  Start-Up Air is closed.

Opacity is the measure of how clean your insert is burning and 

is measured in percentages.  An opacity of 100% in the smoke 

column from a chimney will totally obscure an object.   Whereas 

0% opacity means that no smoke column can be seen.  A peri-

odic check of the opacity emitted from your chimney will enable 

you to burn your insert as smoke free as possible.

LOW:  Gradually close down the Primary Air Control by pull-

i

ng out making sure to maintain flames in the insert.  Start-Up 

Air  is  closed.    It  is  very  important  to  maintain  flames  in  your 

insert during the first few hours of a low burn to avoid excessive 

air pollution.

NOTE:
•  Build fire on brick firebox floor.

•  Do NOT use grates, andirons or other methods to support fuel.

It will adversely affect emissions.

Fire Risk.
Disposal of Ashes

•  Ashes should be placed in metal container with tight fitting lid.

•  Do not place metal container on combustible surface.

•  Ashes should be retained in closed container until all cinders 

have thoroughly cooled.

Fire Risk
•  Do NOT operate with Start-Up Air Control in 

open position in excess of 15 minutes.

•  Risk of extreme temperatures!

Prolonged operation with Start-Up Air Control in open 

position may cause combustible materials around 

appliance to exceed safe temperature limits.
