E. General Operating Information
1. Thermostat Wall Control - Automatic Setting
The appliance is like most modern furnaces; when the
thermostat wall control calls for heat, your appliance will
automatically light and deliver heat.
When the room is up to temperature and the wall control is
satisedtheappliance will shut down.
Intheautomaticsettingtheheatoutputleveliscontrolledby
thewallcontrol.Select“Automatic”ontheAUTO/MANUAL
screen. Figure 8.1.
2. Thermostat Wall Control - Manual Setting
Whenyouselect“Manual”ontheAUTO/MANUALscreenthe
appliance will still automatically turn on and off according to
the temperature setting.
However,youwillbeabletomanuallycontroltheheatoutput

A. Introduction
Welcome to the Quadra-Fire family. This manual will help
you understand and operate the wall control attached to
your new pellet appliance.
TheQuadra-Fire WallControl is not just a traditionalther-
mostat,butanintegralpartofthepelletappliancesystem.
While it has many of the features one would expect from
an advanced thermostat, including programmable setback
capabilitiesandcurrenttemperaturedisplay,italsoindicates
thesystem’scurrentoperatingcycleandstate.Itdoesthis
bycommunicatingwiththeapplianceviaawiredconnection.
Additionally, it allows you to set parameters that will optimize
the performance of your pellet appliance system. These pa-
rameters are accessed with an easy to navigate menu sys-
tem.
B. Language Selection
The language selection function is under the USER
SETTINGS found on pages 17. Please refer to that
section for complete detailed instructions.
C. The Main Screen
Thekeytobeingcomfortablewhileoperatingyournewwall
control is to familiarize yourself with the main screen. The
main screen shows, at a glance, the status of the system,
the most important settings and the current temperature. Ad-
ditionally, the main screen indicates with simple icons many
useractionsrequiredtokeepyourapplianceworkingasin-
