1.  During each ignition cycle, it is normal to see some 

smoke in the firebox.  The smoke will stop once the 
fire starts.

2.  The convection blower will automatically turn on after 

your appliance has reached the set temperature on 
the “high” setting.  This blower transfers heat from your 
appliance into the room, and will continue to run after 
the thermostat has stopped calling for heat until the 
appliance has cooled down.

3.  Occasionally the appliance may run out of fuel and shut 

itself down.  When this happens, the red call light will 
be on. To restart it, fill the hopper and press the reset 
button.  (See Figure 22.1, page 22).  When you press 
the reset button the red call light will go out.  Release 
the button and the light will come back on.  You should 
see a fire shortly.  If not, follow the instructions on page 
23, of “Starting Your First Fire”.

 Odors and vapors released during initial operation.

•  Curing of high temperature paint.
•  Open windows for air circulation.

Odors may be irritating to sensitive individuals.

Fire Risk
Do NOT operate appliance:
•  With appliance door open.
•  Firepot floor open.
•  Cleaning slide plates open.
Do NOT store fuel:
•  Closer than required clearances to com-

bustibles to appliance

•  Within space required for loading or ash 

removal.

1.  Metallic noise.

1.  Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as 

it heats up and cools down, similar to the sound pro-
duced by a furnace or heating duct.  This noise does not 
affect the operation or longevity of your insert.

2.  Ash buildup on glass.

2.  This is normal.  Clean the glass.

3.  Glass has turned dirty.

3.  Excessive build up of ash.  The lower burn settings will 

produce more ash, the higher burn settings produce 
less.  The more it burns on low the more frequent clean-
ing of the glass is required.

4.  Fire has tall flames with black tails and is lazy.

4.  The feed rate needs to be reduced or the firepot needs 

cleaning.  Heat exchanger of exhaust blower needs 
cleaning.

5.  Smokey start-up or puffs of smoke from the airwash. 5.  Either the firepot is dirty or there is too much fuel at 

start-up and not enough air.  Close down feed rate 1/4 
inch at a time until this no longer happens.

6.  Large flame at start-up.

6.  This is normal.  Flame will settle down once the fire is 

established.
