To activate: Push back until it stops
and then pull forward until it stops
B. Automatic Combustion Control (ACC)
Typically, when you build a re, you open the air controls fully
and monitor the re to prevent it from going into an overre
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 re. Once you
set the ACC system it will control the re for you. Follow the
instructions below to learn how to operate your stove with
ease.
C. Air Controls
1. Start-Up Air Control
The function of the Start-Up Air Control is to activate the
Automatic Combustion Control system (ACC).
• Push the Start-Up Air Control all the way back until it stops
and then pull forward to the front of the appliance until it
stops. Figure 5.1.
• The air channel opens and allows air to enter the front of
the appliance for approximately 20-25 minutes.
• The air channel gradually shuts down until it is completely
closed at the end of the 20-25 minutes.
• The re is now controlled by the air supplied by the Burn
Rate Air Control. Figure 5.1.
• This function should be performed each time you reload
the appliance.
2. Burn Rate Air Control
• The air supply enters at the upper front of the 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 the
second, third and fourth combustion process.
• This air is regulated by the Burn Rate Air Control.
• There are four settings High, Medium-High, Medium-Low
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.
D. Burn Rates and Operating Efciency
For maximum operating efciency
1. Burn dry, well-seasoned wood.
2. Follow these burn rate instructions below and refer to
Figure 5.1.
*NOTE:
These are guidelines. Actual settings may vary with
type of wood, chimney draft, altitude and other variables.
E. Blower Control Box & Snap Disc
Operating Instructions
1. The blower will turn on/off automatically when set to
AUTO. Figure 6.1 on page 6.
2. When set to MANUAL, the fan will turn on/off only when
you turn it on or off. This setting over-rides the internal
snap disc.
3. Swing the grille downward to expose the blower controls.
Adjust the speed of the fan by turning the HIGH/LOW
knob to the desired setting.

3. Medium-High Burn Setting*: Burn Rate Air Control
is closed then opened to 1 inch to fully open (pull up).
Blower may remain on.
4. Medium-Low Burn Setting*: Burn Rate Air Control
is closed then opened to 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch (pull up).
Leave the blower off until the burn is well established, i.e.,
30 minutes.
5. Low Burn Setting*: Burn Rate Air Control is closed
(down position).
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 forward to activate the Automatic Combustion Control (ACC).
NOTE: For maximum efciency and lowest emissions,
when operating the blower in either the automatic or
manual setting for the low and medium low burn settings

A. Disposal of Ashes
• Frequency: When ash reaches the top of the brick
covers (should not spill over covers). Leave 1/4 inch
(6mm) of ash in the bottom of the firebox.
• By: Homeowner
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Ashescouldcontainhotembers.
• Place ashes in a metal container with a tight-tting lid.
• The closed container should be placed on a noncombustible
oor or on the ground, well away from all combustible
materials, pending nal disposal.
• If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise
locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed
container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled
Voyageur Grand
Creosote - Formation and Need for Removal
• When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other
organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture
to form creosote.
• The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool
chimney ue of a slow-burning re.
• As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the ue
lining. When ignited this creosote makes an extremely
hot re.
• The chimney and chimney connector shall be inspected
every two months during the heating season to
determine when a creosote buildup has occurred.
• When creosote has accumulated it shall be removed to
reduce the risk of a chimney re.
B. Chimney and Chimney Connector
Inspection/Cleaning
• Frequency: Every 2 months during heating season or
as recommended by a certied chimney sweep; more
frequently if chimney exceeds or is under 14-16 feet (4.3
to 4.8m) measured from bottom of appliance.
• By: Certied chimney sweep
• Remove all ash from the rebox and extinguish all hot
embers before disposal.
• Allow the appliance to cool completely.
• If your type of installation involves a full reline of the
chimney, it will be necessary to either remove the bafe
from the insert, or remove the insert from the replace
and disconnect the vent prior to cleaning the chimney.
Refer to page 23 in this manual for instructions on Bafe
Removal.
• If your type of installation is direct connect within a masonry
chimney, the insert will need to be pulled out from the
replace and disconnected from the ue prior to cleaning
the chimney.
• The creosote or soot should be removed with a brush
specically designed for the type of chimney in use.
• Clean out fallen ashes from the rebox.
• It is also recommended that before each heating season
the entire system be professionally inspected, cleaned
and repaired if necessary.
WARNING! Risk of Fire!

C. Appliance Inspection - Routine
• Frequency: Every 2 months at the same time the
chimney and chimney connector are inspected.
• By: Homeowner
Check for:
• Cracks in glass
• Door handle - smooth cam operation
• Bafe and ceramic blanket correct placement
• Bafe for warpage
• Firebrick for cracks, broken or crumbly
• Door gasket. (Dollar bill test). Place a dollar bill between the stove and the door and then shut the door. If
you can pull the dollar bill out, replace the door gasket.
• Glass frame for loose screws
D. Cleaning Plated Surfaces
• Frequency: As desired
• By: Homeowner
• Clean all the ngerprints and oils from plated surfaces
BEFORE ring the appliance for the rst time.
• If not cleaned properly before lighting your rst re, the
oils can cause permanent markings on the plating.
• After the plating is cured, the oils will not affect the nish
and little maintenance is required.
• Wipe clean as needed.
CAUTION! Do not use polishes with abrasives. Itwill
scratchplatedsurfaces.

E. Glass Cleaning
• Frequency: As desired
• By: Homeowner
• Clean glass with a non-abrasive glass cleaner. Abrasive
cleaners may scratch and cause glass to crack.
• If the deposits on the glass are not very heavy, normal
glass cleaners work well. Heavier deposits may be
removed by using a damp cloth dipped in wood ashes or
by using a commercially available oven cleaner.
• After using an oven cleaner, it is advisable to remove any
residue with a glass cleaner or soap and water. Oven
cleaner left on during the next ring can permanently stain
the glass and damage the nish on plated metal surfaces.
• A portion of the combustion air entering the rebox is de-
ected down over the inside of the door glass.
• This air ow “washes” the glass, helping to keep smoke
from adhering to its surface.
• When operated at a low burn rate, less air will be owing
over the glass and the smoky, relatively cool condition of
a low re will cause the glass to become coated.
• Operating the appliance with the Burn Rate Air Control
and Start-Up Air Control all the way open for 15-20 minutes should remove the built up coating.
CAUTION! Handle glass assembly with care. Glass is
breakable.
• Avoidstriking,scratchingorslammingglass
• Avoidabrasivecleaners

F. Inspect Firebrick & Replacement
Instructions
• Frequency: After each ash removal
• By: Homeowner
Replace the rebrick if they become crumbly and/or if
there is a 1/4 inch (6.35mm) gap between the bricks.
The rebox is lined with rebrick, which has exceptional
insulating properties. Do not use a grate; simply build
a re on the rebox oor. Do not operate appliance
without rebrick.
1. After the coals have completely cooled, remove all
old brick and ash from unit and vacuum rebox.
2. Remove new brick set from box and lay out to the
diagram shown in the instructions that come with
the replacement brick set.
3. Lay bottom bricks in unit.
4.
Install rear bricks on the top of the bottom bricks.
5. Install side bricks. Slide top of brick under clips
on side of rebox and push the bottom of the brick
until it is ush with the side of the unit.
Use Part 832-0550 when ordering individual brick. Provide
brick dimension or copy the page in the service parts list, mark
the desired brick and take it to your authorized dealer.

Bafe and blanket placement is critical to
heat output, efciency and overall life of the
unit. Make sure the bafe is pushed all of the
way to the back of the rebox and the blanket
is laying at. Inspect bafe for cracks.
Vacuum the blower impellers.
T
he chimney and chimney cap must be inspected for soot and creosote every two
months during the burn season or more frequency if chimney exceeds or is under 14-16 ft
(4.3m-4.8m) measured from bottom of appli-
ance.
This will prevent pipe blockage, poor draft,
and chimney res.
Always burn dry wood to help prevent cap
blockage and creosote build-up.

Ashes must be cool before you can dispose
of the ashes in a non-combustible container.
Firebrick is designed to protect your rebox.
After ashes are removed, inspect the rebrick and replace rebricks that are crumbling, cracked or broken.
Keep door and glass gasket in good shape to
maintain good burn times on a low burn setting.
To test: place a dollar bill between the stove
and door and then shut the door. If you can
pull the dollar out, remove one washer from
door handle behind latch cam and try again. If
you can still pull it out, replace the door gasket.
Check the glass frame for loose screws to
prevent air leakage. Check glass for cracks.
Check the door latch for proper adjustment.
This is very important especially after the door
rope has formed to the stove face.
Check door handle for smooth cam operation.

Fire burns too fast
Wood condition is too wet, too
large
Bed of coals not established
before adding wood
Flue blockage such as birds’
nests or leaves in termination
cap
Down draft or negative pressure
Competition with exhaust
devices
Extremely dry or soft wood
Overdrafting
Use dry, seasoned wood (refer to Seasoned Wood
Section).
Start with paper & kindling to establish bed of
coals (refer to Building a Fire Section).
Have chimney inspected for creosote and cleaned
