Start Button Installation
Flush Wood Plus Arch Start Button Installation:
Drill a 9/64” pilot hole approximately 2” from the flat end of the left side
trim panel. Enlarge the hole with the 1/2” drill bit.
Affix the GreenStart sticker over the hole.
Route the On/Off switch wires through the drilled hole and install the power button.
NOTE:
Use a saw to remove a 7/8” x 7/8” notch from the rear of the trim. This will
be used to route the igniter cord.
Attach the trim and panels, and connect the start button wires to the igniter
assembly.
NOTE: The wires are color-coded and must be matched.
Cape Cod Flush Wood Plus Start Button Installation:
Drill a 9/64” hole approximately 2” from the flat end of the left side trim
panel. Enlarge the hole with a 1/2” drill bit.

Cypress Face Start Button Installation:
The Cypress Face (Flush Wood Plus and Large Flush Wood) is larger than the
other faces and requires a unique location for the GreenStart igniter button.
Follow the directions below to locate and drill the hole for the igniter
button.
Remove the lower face (disconnect any wiring) and place the front down on a
non-scratching work surface. The button location will be on the left side,
inwards of the rheostat. Mark a location approximately 1” inwards of the
vertical support, centered vertically on the lower face. Use a center punch
and pilot drill to drill through the lower face. Then flip the lower face over
and drill the 1/2” button-mounting hole (make sure to protect all wiring).
Mount the button in this location. 
Affix the GreenStart sticker over the hole, and then insert the color-coded start button wires through the hole. The start button should be flush with the trim panel.

Placing the Compressor assembly
Compressor Placement Guidelines
The compressor assembly may be placed on the floor or hearth, away from the
insert (do not place it in front of the insert). It may also be placed in a
ventilated enclosure or remote location. The guidelines below outline the
requirements for placing the igniter assembly. If it is placed in a remote
location, make sure it is accessible and meets all of the requirements listed
below and any local building codes.
Typical installation locations may include:
- Decorative Enclosure
- Behind Cabinet, Bookcase, or Furniture
- Remote, Dry Locations: crawl space or attic enclosure
NOTE: DO NOT place the compressor assembly inside the fireplace cavity or outside the house.
Routing the Igniter Cord
The igniter cord is 9’ long and requires a 1” diameter hole for routing
through partitions. If placed in a remote location, seal any holes to prevent
air infiltration.
Electrical Requirements
The igniter assembly uses a standard 120v plug and requires an accessible
receptacle. The igniter system draws 8 amps (you may wish to place this system
on a dedicated circuit). If placed in a remote location, we recommend you a
GFCI circuit breaker (this allows for safe operation and eliminates the need
to access the igniter assembly). Consult your local building official for
requirements in your location.
Air Requirements
The igniter assembly utilizes a 2 CFM compressor. If making an enclosure, make
sure to accommodate enough air input to allow the igniter assembly to operate
correctly. If the igniter assembly is placed in an external location such as
an attic or crawl space, make sure to keep insulation or excessive dust or
dirt from entering the igniter assembly.
WARNING: DO NOT place the compressor assembly inside the fireplace cavity, and do not place it on its side or upside down.
Operating Instructions
Warnings
- The igniter must be operated only with someone present. Improper operation may lead to smoke entering the home.
- MAKE SURE THE AIR CONTROL AND BYPASS ARE OPEN (IF APPLICABLE). FAILURE TO OPEN THESE CONTROLS MAY LEAD TO SMOKE ENTERING THE HOME.
- DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR DURING IGNITION. THIS MAY LEAD TO SMOKE ENTERING THE HOME.
- DO NOT PLACE YOUR HAND NEAR THE IGNITER OPENING. THIS AREA BECOMES EXTREMELY HOT AND MAY CAUSE SEVERE BURNS.
Operating Tips
The compressor assembly will turn on for 30 seconds when it is first plugged
in. This is normal.
Hardwood or un-seasoned wood may take longer to ignite. For this kind of wood,
you may need to cut the kindling into smaller pieces.
Wood placement is the key to building a good fire. Experiment with different sizes of wood and wood placement until you find a method that works best for your wood quality and kindling.
Make sure to place the wood within 1” of the igniter opening.
-
Place two pieces of wood front to back opening on the firebox floor (or ash bed) as shown below.
NOTE: These pieces should be placed to elevate the next course of kindling to a position next to the igniter opening.
-
This next piece of wood is the key. It should be approximately 2-3” in diameter with no bark. Place it directly behind the igniter opening, parallel with the door opening. Done correctly, this piece will ignite along its entire length, starting the fire quickly and burning long enough to light the other pieces.
-
Place additional pieces of wood directly in front and back of the piece of wood placed in step 2. Make sure the wood runs parallel to the igniter airflow and is spaced far enough apart to allow air to flow.
-
Continue to stack your kindling in a crisscross pattern. Make sure to provide enough room for airflow. Bigger pieces may be stacked on top of the pile.
-
Make sure the air control and bypass are in the open position.
-
Close the stove door when all kindling is in place.
-
Press the igniter button to start the ignition process. The green indicator light on the button will turn on. The igniter and compressor assembly will run for 15 minutes before shutting off automatically.
NOTE: If
you need to turn off the igniter after starting the ignition process, press
the GreenStart button a second time. The system will turn off power to the
igniter and the GreenStart button will flash. The pump will continue to run
for about seven minutes and then shut off.
ADDED FEATURE – “BELLOWS ONLY”:
If a bellows effect is desired (adding oxygen to the fire without cycling
the igniter) simply push the GreenStart button twice, which will start the
pump-only mode. The bellows effect will stay on for 7 minutes before the unit
shuts down.
