A properly adjusted fire with the heat output on HIGH has an 
active flame pattern that extends out of the firepot approxi-
mately 8 inches (203mm).  

If the fire has tall flames with black tails and seems some-
what lazy, the flame height will need to be reduced.   If 
the fire is not 8 inches (203mm) tall, the flame height will 
need to be increased.  A medium and low setting will give 
a shorter flame.  

The flame will rise and fall somewhat.  This is normal. 

 

With your appliance in Manual mode and the heat output 
level set to High, adjust the flame height using the FLAME 
HEIGHT ADJUST screen under USER SETTINGS on the 
wall control.  Figure 25.1.

The appliance has been designed to operate on an optional 
battery back-up system.  If you have frequent power outages 
in your region, hook the appliance up to a 12 volt battery and 
it will automatically switch to battery power in the event of 
power failure.  There will be a battery icon that appears on 
your wall control to let you know you are now operating on 
battery power.

Once you are operating on battery power, you must manually 
light the fire in the appliance as it will no longer automatically 
light.  Use only approved fire starting gel to start the fire.  The 
high burn rate is no longer available on battery back-up as 
each level drops down one level.  For example; the high burn 
becomes medium high burn and so on.

We recommend a 12 volt deep cycle battery, (i.e., marine 
or RV type).  If the battery charge falls below 10 volt it can 
no longer sustain the appliance operation and the appliance 
will shut down.  A 12 volt battery cable is available through 
your local dealer.

•  Hook up to battery terminals BEFORE you 

plug battery into the appliance.

•  Damage to internal electronic components 

may occur.

The Advanced Energy engine is controlled by the digital wall 
control.  The digital display on the wall control will tell you 
what your appliance is doing in the upper left corner, above 
the line.

Every time the thermostat calls for heat, the appliance steps 
through five cycles:

1. Ignition cycle 
2. Soft-start cycle
3. Heating cycle 
4.  Shut down cycle 
5.  Cleaning cycle  

The duration and characteristics of these cycles may be dif-
ferent with each type of fuel selected.

During this cycle:

•  The igniter turns on for 90 seconds to heat up the air 

in the firepot 

•  The combustion blower starts 
•  Vacuum switch comes on 
•  Feed motor turns on adding fuel to the firepot and 

the appliance waits for the fire to start  

The duration of start-up depends on the type and quality of 
fuel used.  It is normal to see some smoke during the igni-
tion process as moisture evaporates and the fuel lights.  The 
smoke will stop once the fire starts.  

If you are lighting your appliance for the first time the feed 
tube is empty and it can take some time to fill it with fuel 
before you will see a fire.  To speed up this process, put a 
handful of fuel in the firepot.  You can also do this when you 
have run your hopper dry.

2. SS-Low / SS-Med (Slow-Start Low, Slow-Start Medium)

Once the fire is lit, the appliance moves into the low soft-start 
cycle as it continues to build the fire.  In this cycle, more fuel 
will be added.  As the fire builds, the appliance will change to 
medium soft-start mode and the heating cycle begins.

There are two choices in the Automatic / Manual menu of 
how your appliance will operate.  

In Automatic Mode, the wall control will turn the heat output 
level up or down depending on how far the room tempera-
ture is from the desired temperature.  The digital display will 
read AUTO:M as an example of automatic, medium level.  

As the room temperature approaches the desired tempera-
ture, the appliance will turn down to lower settings.  When 
you change the appliance to Manual, set the heat output set-
ting from the main screen.  The right bottom button will read 
HEAT OUTPUT.
