5700 Step Top Wood Stove Series ACC
B. Fire Safety
To provide reasonable fi re safety, the following should be
given serious consideration:
1. Install at least one smoke detector on each fl oor of
your home to ensure your safety. They should be
located away from the heating appliance and close
to the sleeping areas. Follow the smoke detector
manufacturer’s placement and installation instructions,
and be sure to maintain regularly.
2. A conveniently located Class A fi re extinguisher.
3. A practiced evacuation plan, consisting of at least two
escape routes.
4. In the event of a chimney fi re:
a. Prepare occupants for immediate evacuation
b. Notify fi re department
C. Overfi ring
WARNING! Risk of Fire!
Do not over-fi re.
Over-fi ring may ignite creosote or will damage the
stove and chimney.
To prevent over-fi ring your stove, DO NOT:
• Use fl ammable liquids
• Overload with wood
• Burn trash or large amounts of scrap lumber
• Permit too much air to the fi re
1. Symptoms of Over-Firing
Symptoms of over-fi ring may include one or more of the
following:
• Chimney connector or appliance glowing
• Roaring, rumbling noises
• Loud cracking or banging sounds
• Metal warping
• Chimney fi re
2. What To Do if Your Stove is Over-Firing
• Immediately close the door and air controls to reduce
air supply to the fi re.
• If you suspect a chimney fi re, call the fi re department
and evacuate your house.
• Contact your local chimney professional and have
your stove and stove pipe inspected for any damage.
• Do not use your stove until the chimney professional
informs you it is safe to do so.
Hearth & Home Technologies WILL NOT warranty stoves
that exhibit evidence of over-fi ring. Evidence of over-fi ring
includes, but is not limited to:
• Warped air tube
• Deteriorated refractory brick retainers
• Deteriorated baffl e and other interior components
D. Combustible/Non-combustible Materials
• Combustible Material
Material made of or surfaced with wood, compressed
paper, plant fi bers, plastics, or any material capable
of igniting and burning, whether fl ame-proofed or not,
plastered or unplastered.
• Non-combustible Material
Material which will not ignite and burn. Such materials are
those consisting entirely of steel, iron, brick, tile, slate,
glass or plasters, or any combination thereof.
• Non-combustible Sealant Material
Sealants which will not ignite and burn: Rutland, Inc.
Fireplace Mortar #63, Rutland 76R, Nuflex 304, GE
RTV106 or GE RTB116 (or equivalent).
E. Seasoned Wood
Burn only dry seasoned wood.
• Store wood under cover, out of the rain and snow.
• Dry and well-seasoned wood will not only minimize the
chance of creosote formation, but will give you the most
effi cient fi re.
• Even dry wood contains at least 15% moisture by weight,
and should be burned hot enough to keep the chimney
hot for as long as it takes to dry the wood out - about one
hour.
• It is a waste of energy to burn unseasoned wood of any
kind.
Dead wood lying on the forest fl oor should be considered wet,
and requires full seasoning time.
• Standing dead wood can be considered to be about 2/3
seasoned.
• To tell if wood is dry enough to burn, check the ends of
the logs.
• If there are cracks radiating in all directions from the center,
it is dry.
• If your wood sizzles in the fi re, even though the surface
is dry, it may not be fully cured.
F. Chimney Fire
WARNING! Risk of Fire! A chimney fi re can permanently
damage your chimney system and nearby structures.
In the event of a chimney fi re, Hearth & Home Technologies Inc. recommends
• Replacement of the chimney, and
• Inspection of the adjacent structure to the provisions of
NFPA Level III inspection criteria

air quality. Much of the blame for poor air quality has been
placed on the burning of wood for home heating.
In order to improve the situation, we at Quadra-Fire have
developed cleaner-burning wood appliances that surpass
the requirements for emissions established by our governing
agencies.
These wood appliances must be properly operated in order
to ensure that they perform the way they are designed to
perform.
NOTICE: Improper operation can turn any wood appli-
ance into a smoldering environmental hazard.
1. Kindling or First Stage
It helps to know a little about the actual process of burning in
order to understand what goes on inside the appliance. The
fi rst stage of burning is called the kindling stage.
In this stage:
• Wood is heated to a temperature high enough to evapo-
rate the moisture present in all wood.
• Wood will reach the boiling point of water (212°F) and will
not get any hotter until the water is evaporated.
This process takes heat from the coals and tends to cool the
appliance.
Fire requires three things to burn:
• Fuel
• Air
• Heat
If heat is robbed from the appliance during the drying stage,
the new load of wood has reduced the chances for a good
clean burn.
It is always best to burn dry, seasoned fi rewood. When the
wood isn’t dry, you must open the air controls and burn at a
high burn setting for a longer time to start it burning.
The heat generated from the fi re should be warming your
home and establishing the fl ue draft, not evaporating the
moisture out of wet, unseasoned wood, resulting in wasted
heat.
2. Second Stage
In the secondary stage wood gives off fl ammable gases which
burn above the fuel with bright fl ames.
During this stage of burning:
• The fl ames must be maintained and not allowed to go out
to ensure the cleanest possible fi re.
• If the fl ames tend to go out, it is set too low for your burn-
ing conditions.
The air control located at the upper right hand corner is used to
adjust for burn rates. This is called the Burn Rate Air Control.
Figure 10.1 on page 10.
3. Final Stage
The fi nal stage of burning is the charcoal stage. This occurs
when the fl ammable gases have been mostly burned and
only charcoal remains. This is a naturally clean portion of
the burn. The coals burn with hot blue fl ames.
• It is very important to reload your appliance while enough
lively hot coals remain in order to provide the amount of
heat needed to dry and rekindle the next load of wood.
• It is best to open the Burn Rate Air and Start-Up Air Con-
trols before reloading. This livens up the coalbed and
reduces excessive emissions (opacity/smoke). Figure
10.1 on page 10.
• Open door slowly so that ash or smoke does not exit appliance through opening.
•
Break up any large chunks and distribute the coals so
that the new wood is laid on hot coals.
Air quality is important to all of us, and if we choose to use
wood to heat our homes we should do so responsibly.
We need to learn to burn in the cleanest way possible allowing us to continue using our wood appliances for many
years to come.

H. Automatic Combustion Control (ACC)
Typically, when you build a fi re, you open the air controls fully
and monitor the fi re to prevent it from going into an overfi re
situation and/or burning your wood up too quickly before you
shut down the air controls to the desired burn rate.
When using the Automatic Combustion Control (ACC) system,
you do not have to continually monitor the fi re. Once you
set the ACC system it will control the fi re for you. Follow the
instructions below to learn how to operate your stove with
ease.
I. Air Controls
1. Start-Up Air Control
The Start-Up Air Control has two primary functions.
The fi rst function is to activate the Automatic Combustion
Control system (ACC).
• Slide the Start-Up Air Control all the way back until it stops
at the “HI” indicator on the label and then pull forward to
the front of the appliance until it stops. Figure 10.1.
• The front air channel opens and allows air to enter the front
of the appliance for approximately 25 minutes.
• The front air channel gradually shuts down until it is completely closed at the end of the 25 minutes.
• The fi re is now controlled by the air supplied by the Burn
Rate Air Control. Figure 10.1.
• This function should be performed each time you reload
the appliance.
The second function of the Start-Up Air Control is operation
of the rear air system.
• Slide the Start-Up Air Control between the fi rst and third
marker as indicated on the label to allow rear air to enter
the fi rebox. Figure 10.1.
• The rear air is used primarily during a High Burn Rate.
• In some instances rear air is desired during normal operation to help with combustion of fuel towards the back of
the fi rebox particularly when burning hardwoods.
• The rear air is controlled independently from the ACC
system.
2. Manual Timer Over-Ride
If you need to shut the ACC system off before it shuts itself
off after 25 minutes (i.e. overfi re situation), reach down to
the bottom right rear corner and pull the lever toward you.
Figure 10.2.
3. Burn Rate Air Control
• The air supply enters at the upper front of the fi rebox,
near the top of the glass door.
• This preheated air supplies the necessary fresh oxygen
to mix with the unburned gases, helping to create second, third and fourth combustions
Page 10

Figure 10.1 - Start-Up and Burn Rate Air Controls
Figure 10.2 - Manual Over-Ride
3. Burn Rate Air Control (Cont’d)
• This air is regulated by the Burn Rate Air Control.
•
There are four settings High, Medium-High, MediumLow and Low.
• When the control is raised all the way up it is on the
High setting and when pushed all the down it is on the
Low setting. Figure 11.1 on page 11.

J. Burn Rates and Operating Effi ciency
For maximum operating effi ciency
1. This appliance has a timer system (ACC) that operates
the appliance at its maximum effi ciency removing any
guess work for the homeowner. Follow the instructions
below for each burn rate for the Start-Up Air Control and
Burn Rate Air Control. Figure 11.1.
2. Burn dry, well-seasoned wood.
Burn Rates
1. Starting a Fire
• Open both controls fully by raising the Burn Rate Air Con-
trol all the way up until it stops and slide the Start-up Air
Control back until it stops.
• The blower tends to cool the appliance. Leave the blower
off until the burn is well established, i.e., 30 minutes.
• After loading the appliance with wood and starting the
fi re, set both controls to the desired setting by following
the burn rate instructions below.
2. High Burn Rate - Maximum Heat* - 30,000+ BTU/hr
•
Raise the Burn Rate Air Control all the way up until it stops
(top marker) to a fully open position.
•
Slide the Start-Up Air Control all the way back until it stops
(HI marker) and leave it there.
•
This setting over-rides the timer system (ACC) so you
must monitor the fi re closely while in this setting to avoid
overfi ring your stove.
5. Low Burn Rate* - Below 10,000 BTU/hr
• Leave the Burn Rate Air Control at the bottom marker.
Leave the blower off until the burn is well established, i.e.,
30 minutes.
• Slide the Start-Up Air Control all the way back until it
stops (HI marker) and then pull forward until it stops.
*NOTE:
These are approximate settings, and will vary with
type of wood or chimney draft. Due to altitude and other
environmental circumstances, this operational information is
a guideline only.
3.
Medium-High Burn Rate* - 15,000 to 30,000 BTU/hr
• Raise the Burn Rate Air Control all the way up until it
stops (top marker) to a fully open position.
Blower may
remain on.
• Slide the Start-Up Air Control all the way back until it
stops (HI marker) and then pull forward until it stops.
• This activates the timer system (ACC).
4.
Medium-Low Burn Rate* - 10,000 to 15,000 BTU/hr
• Raise the Burn Rate Air Control up to the bottom of the
middle marker and stop.
Leave the blower off until the
burn is well established, i.e., 30 minutes.
• Slide the Start-Up Air Control all the way back until it
stops (HI marker) and then pull forward until it stops.
• This activates the timer system (ACC).
WARNING! Risk of Fire!
When set on High Burn Rate and over-riding the Automatic
Combustion Control system an overfi re situation can occur
and may result in a chimney fi re.
Overfi ring will void the stove warranty

7038-159D
After activating the timer (ACC), if the control is placed
within the rear air section on the label it will allow rear air
to enter the fi rebox. This will not interfere with the timer
gradually closing the front air channel in 25 minutes. If
control is set on “HI” it over-rides the timer (ACC).

L. Building A Fire
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Keep combustible materials,
gasoline and other fl ammable vapors and liquids clear
of the fi replace.
Do NOT:
• Store fl ammable materials close to the fi replace, or
• USE GASOLINE, LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE,
CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS
TO START OR “FRESHEN UP” A FIRE IN THIS
FIREPLACE.
Keep all fl ammable liquids well away from the fi replace while
it is in use. Combustible materials may ignite.
Before lighting your fi rst fi re in the appliance:
1. Confi rm the baffl e and ceramic blanket are correctly posi-
tioned. See page 12 for detailed diagrams. They should
be even with the front tube and resting on all tubes. Figure
13.1.
2. Remove all labels from glass.
There are many ways to build a fi re. The basic principle is
to light easily-ignitable tinder or paper, which ignites the fast
burning kindling, which in turn ignites the slow-burning fi rewood. Here is one method that works well:
1.
Open the Burn Rate Air and Start-Up Air Controls fully.
2. Place several wads of crushed paper on the fi rebox fl oor.
Heating the fl ue with slightly crumpled newspaper before
adding kindling keeps smoke to a minimum.
3. Lay small dry sticks of kindling on top of the paper.
4. Make sure that no matches or other combustibles are in
the immediate area of the appliance. Be sure the room
is ventilated and the fl ue unobstructed.
5. Light the paper in the appliance. NEVER light or rekindle
fi re with kerosene, gasoline, or charcoal lighter fl uid; the
results can be fatal.
6. Once the kindling is burning quickly, add several full-
length logs 3 to 4 inches (76 to 102mm) in diameter. Be
careful not to smother the fi re. Stack the pieces of wood
1/2 inch to 1 inch apart; near enough to keep each other
hot, but far enough away from each other to allow air fl ow
between them.
7. Set the Burn Rate Air Control and activate the timer sys-
tem (ACC).
8. If you have installed the optional blower, please note that
the blower tends to cool the appliance. Leave the blower
off until the burn is well established, i.e., 30 minutes.
WARNING! Risk of Fire!
Make sure fuel door is sealed tight against the gasket.
Do NOT operate stove with the door open. It may cause:
• Overfi re condition
• Flame and/or smoke spillage
9. When ready to reload, It is best to fully open both the Burn
Rate Air and Start-up Air Controls before reloading.
• This livens up the coalbed and reduces excessive emissions (opacity/smoke).
• Open door slowly so that ash or smoke does not exit appliance through opening.
• Large logs burn slowly, holding a fi re longer.
• Small logs burn fast and hot, giving quick heat.
10.
As long as there are hot coals, repeating steps 6 through
8 will maintain a continuous fi re throughout the season.
NOTICE:
• Build fi re on brick fi rebox fl oor.
• Do NOT use grates, andirons or other methods to support fuel as it will adversely affect emissions.
CAUTION! Odors and vapors released during initial
operation may be irritating to sensitive individuals.
Open windows for air circulation.

M. Wood Fuel
WARNING! Risk of Fire!
• DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS
SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA OR ENGINE OIL.
• Do NOT burn treated wood or wood with salt (driftwood).
• May generate carbon monooxide if burn material other
than wood.
May result in illness or possible death.
Hardwood vs Softwood
Your appliance performance depends on the quality of the
fi rewood you use.
• Seasoned wood contains about 8,000 BTUs per pound .
• Hard woods are more dense than soft woods.
• Hard woods contain 60% more BTUs than soft woods.
• Hard woods require more time to season, burn slower and
are harder to ignite.
• Soft woods require less time to dry, burn faster and are
easier to ignite.
• Start the fi re with softwood to bring the appliance up to
operating temperature and to establish draft.
• Add hardwood for slow, even heat and longer burn time.
Moisture
WARNING! Risk of Fire!
• Do NOT burn wet or green wood.
• Wet, unseasoned wood can cause accumulation of
creosote.
• Store wood in dry location.
• Stack wood so both ends are exposed to air.
The majority of the problems appliance owners experience
are caused by trying to burn wet, unseasoned wood.
• Wet, unseasoned wood requires energy to evaporate the
water instead of heating your home, and
• Causes evaporating moisture which cools your chimney,
accelerating formation of creosote.
Seasoned Wood
• Cut logs to size
• Split to 6 inches (152 mm) or less in diameter.
• Air dry to a moisture content of around 20%
- *Soft wood - about nine months to dry
- *Hard wood - about eighteen months to dry
*NOTE: Seasoning time may vary depending on drying
conditions.
Soft woods Hard woods
• Douglas Fir • Oak
• Pine • Maple
• Spruce • Apple
• Cedar • Birch
• Poplar
• Aspen
• Alder
Processed Solid Fuel Fire Logs
• NOT permitted for use in this appliance
Storing Wood
Steps to ensure properly seasoned wood:
• Stack wood to allow air to circulate freely around and
through woodpile.
• Elevate wood pile off ground to allow air circulation
underneath.
• Smaller pieces of wood dry faster. Any piece over 6 inches
(152 mm) in diameter should be split.
• Wood (whole or split) should be stacked so both ends of
each piece are exposed to air. More drying occurs through
the cut ends than the sides.
• Store wood under cover to prevent water absorption
from rain or snow. Avoid covering the sides and ends
completely.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT store wood:
• In front of the appliance.
• In space required for loading or ash removal.

5. Low Burn Setting*: Burn Rate Air Control is closed.
Leave the blower off until the burn is well established, i.e.,
30 minutes.
*NOTE: For burn settings 3 to 5 the Start-up Air Control
needs to be pushed in (Open) then pulled back to activate the Automatic Combustion Control (ACC).
NOTE: For maximum effi ciency and lowest emissions,
when operating the blower in either the automatic or
manual setting for the low and medium low burn settings
leave the blower off until the burn is well established, i.e.,
30 minutes
6. The blower is equipped with a rheostat (speed control).
The highest blower speed is obtained by turning the
rheostat on, then adjusting back towards “OFF” as far as
possible without turning the blower off. For a low blower
speed, turn the control knob clockwise as far as possible

P. Opacity (Smoke)
Opacity is the measure of how cleanly your appliance is
burning.
Opacity is measured in percent:
• 100% opacity is when an object is totally obscured by
the smoke column from a chimney, and
• 0% opacity means that no smoke column can be seen.
As you become familiar with your appliance, you should
periodically check the opacity. This will allow you to know
how to burn as nearly smoke-free as possible (goal of 0%
opacity).
CAUTION! Odors and vapors released during initial
operation may be irritating to sensitive individuals.
Open windows for air circulation.
Q. Frequently Asked Questions
ISSUES SOLUTIONS
Odor from appliance When fi rst operated, this appliance may release an odor for the fi rst several hours. This is
caused by the curing of the paint and the burning off of any oils remaining from manufacturing.
Metallic noise Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats up and cools down, similar to
the sound produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or
longevity of the appliance.
Whirring sound If the optional blower has been installed, the blower produces a whirring sound which
increases in volume as the speed is increased.
