.  

initial (cold) startup:  Leave fan off until your insert is hot and a good coal bed is established, approximately 0 minutes 

after fuel is lit.

2.  

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

.  

Medium low 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) with a snap disc.  The blower will turn on/off automatically when the 

speed control is set to AUTO.  When set to MANUAL, the fan will turn on/off only when you turn it on or off.  This setting 

overrides the snap disc.  Adjust the speed of the fan by turning the HIGH/LOW knob to the desired setting. 

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.

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 (top rod).   It is especially important to fully open both controls when reload-

ing 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 minutes on High to achieve the following burn rates set the 

controls as listed below:  
MEDIUM HIGH:  Close the Primary Air Control to 1-1/4” to 2-1/2” (2mm to 64mm) open.  Start-Up Air is closed. 
MEDIUM LOW:   Close the Primary Air Control to 1” to 1-1/4” (25mm to 2mm) open.  Start-Up Air is closed.
LOW:  Gradually close down the Primary Air Control by pulling 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 exces-

sive air pollution.

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 periodic check of the opacity emitted from your chimney will enable you to burn your insert as smoke free as pos-

sible.

WARNING:  Do not operate with Start-Up 

Air Control in the open position in excess 

of  15  minutes!    Risk  of  extreme  tem-

peratures!  Prolonged  operation  of  this 

unit  with  the  Start-Up Air  Control  in  the 

open  position  may  cause  the  combusti-

ble materials around the stove to exceed 

safe temperature limits.

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 Control (top rod).  The Start-Up Air Control (bottom rod) is 

used for initial start-up and reloading.

.  Heat output settings:  Follow burn rate instructions listed below.

4.  Burn only dry, well-seasoned wood.
