5.2.3 Main load and controlling output
9. Around 40~45 mins, when the intermediate load 2 is burnt more than 50%, switch the damper to the
“OPEN”
position and open the door for loading the main load.
10. Add 3 large size logs and close the main door.
11. Once the main load is fully lit switch the damper to
“CLOSE”
positions.
12. Once the large size logs are fully alight, the burner is ready to adjust the output by operating the air slide.
At this stage, the burner combustion is stabilized and catalyst is active and unburnt particles in the
combustion gases are getting burnt while passing through the glowing combuster
13. Adjust the air slide to the medium of low position to control the output.

Always open the door in three stages :
1. Switch the damper handle to “OPEN” position, air slide to “HIGH” setting and
wait for at least 30 secs
2. Unlatch the door and keep it slightly ajar for 15~20 seconds
3. Then open the door fully.
Always switch the damper handle gently and gradually.
This practice is important to avoid puff of smoke coming into room or damage to the
catalytic combustor.
5.2.4 Refueling and Shut-down
14. Before opening the door for reloading make sure that the damper handle is switch to the
“OPEN”
position, air slide is on
“HIGH”
setting. Reload one or two logs at a time. After reloading keep the air
slide to the
“HIGH”
position and keep damper
“OPEN”
till logs are fully alight.
15. To shut down the burner, let the fire extinguish and leave the burner doors closed until it has cooled down
DO NOT EVER USE THE BURNER WITHOUT
THE CATALYTIC COMBUSTOR AND FLAME ARRESTOR PLATE.
Note
– The timing given for various steps of the light-up process may vary slightly depending upon wood, log
length. After a couple of burns, the user will be able to judge for themselves.
