1. Start-Up Cycle

During this cycle:

• Igniter turns on for 90 seconds to heat up the air in the fi repot

• Combustion blower starts

• Vacuum switch comes on

• Feed motor turns on adding fuel to the fi repot and the appliance waits for the fi re 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 ignition process as moisture evaporates and the fuel lights. The smoke will stop once the fi re starts.

• Do NOT store fl ammable materials in the appliance’s vicinity.

• DO NOT USE GASOLINE, LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE,

• DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS

SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA OR ENGINE OIL.

• DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO START THE

FIRE.

• Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use.

• Combustible materials may ignite.

2. Soft Start Cycle (SS-Low / SS-Med)

Once the fi re is lit:

• The appliance moves into the low soft-start cycle as it continues to build the fi re

• More fuel will be added
