Lighting Your Stove

Before lighting a fire check to ensure the Burn Grate is clean and adjusted and the Ash Tray is not full.

For safety reasons use extra caution when lighting a stove that is HOT!

Lighting stove manually (No Igniter)

In the NON-Thermostat Mode

1.Push firmly on the FEED RATE or START touch pad. -The COMBUSTION FAN (exhaust) will start and operate at full speed for 60 seconds, then adjust downward to match feed rate #1

-The CONVECTION FAN (heating) will start and the LED will go solid on LOW setting

- The AUGER CYCLE LED will go solid for 3 seconds, indicating signal being sent to auger motor.

2.Place a small amount of a solid fuel fire starter, such as those made from sawdust and wax or use wood shavings, in the bottom of the burn grate.

Add a small handful of pellets to the starter material. Add a small amount of fire starter over the pellets.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE ANY FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR FRESHEN-UP THE FIRE! KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM THE HEATER WHILE IT IS IN USE.

3.Light the fire starter and slowly close the MAIN DOOR, leaving it about 1 inch open. When the pellets are burning, close and latch the main door. If the fire goes out when the main door is closed, add more fire starter, re-light the fire and leave the main door open an inch or so until the pellets start to burn, then close and latch the main door.

4.Adjust the FUEL RATE and the FAN SPEED to your desired settings you require upon completion of startup sequence.

Lighting stove with Auto-Ignitor In the NON-Thermostat Mode

1.Push firmly on the FEED RATE or START touch pad.

-The COMBUSTION FAN (exhaust) will start and operate at full speed for 60 seconds, then adjust downward to match feed rate #1 -The CONVECTION FAN (heating) will start and the LED will go solid on LOW setting

-The AUGER CYCLE LED will go solid for 3 seconds, indicating signal being sent to auger motor.

-The IGNITER LED will light up solid and the 300 watt igniter will begin to operate.

2.On a primed AUGER system pellets will begin to fall into the BURN GRATE, and the AUTO SELF IGNITER will automatically ignite the pellets in approx. 3 – 5 min.

Note: If stoves fails to light within 15 minutes, shut off the stove, remove the pellets from the burn grate and repeat step 2. If stove fails to ignite a second time, disconnect and contact your dealer.

3.Adjust the FUEL RATE and the FAN SPEED to your desired settings you require upon completion of startup sequence.

NOTE: If the fire does not start, your stove will continue to feed pellets and the fans will run for approximately 15 minutes. The stove will then automatically shut off. If this happens, some unburned pellets will build up in the burn grate. To restart the fire, clean the excess pellets out of the burn grate and follow the above "Lighting a Fire".

NOTE: Some odors may be given off a new stove during the initial few hours of burning while the stove and the paint are being cured. These odors are not harmful. However, ventilating the room until the odors disappear is strongly recommended.

CAUTION: Never use liquid or volatile fire starters to start a fire in your stove! Do not install or operate your stove in any room where any liquid or volatile fuels or any other highly combustible items are in the air or stored in the room. These could cause a safety hazard.
