R R CB1200-I Pellet Insert B. General Operating Information C. Before Your First Fire 1. Thermostat Calls For Heat 1. First, make sure your appliance has been properly installed and that all safety requirements have been met. Pay particular attention to the fire protection, venting and thermostat installation instructions. The appliance is like most modern furnaces; when the thermostat calls for heat, your appliance will automatically light and deliver heat.
R CB1200-I Pellet Insert E. Fire Characteristics A properly adjusted fire with the heat output control switch set on “HIGH” has a short active flame pattern that extends out of the firepot approximately 4 to 6 inches (102-105mm). If the fire has tall flames with black tails and seems somewhat lazy, the feed rate will need to be reduced. If the fire is not 4 inches to 6 inches (102-105mm) tall, increase the feed rate. A medium and low setting will give a shorter flame. The flame will rise and fall somewhat.
