C. Before Your First Fire

E. Fire Characteristics

1.First, make sure your appliance has been properly installed and that all safety requirements have been met. Pay particular attention to the fire protection, venting and thermostat installation instructions.

2.Double check that the ash drawer and firebox are empty!

3.Check the position of the thermocouple, located above the firepot, and make sure that it protrudes approximately 3/4 inch (19mm) into the firepot.

4.Close the front door.

NOTICE: The tip of the thermocouple must be in contact with the inside end of the thermocouple cover or missed ignitions can occur.

D. Starting Your First Fire

1.A thermostat is required for proper operation of this appliance, except for corn. At this time, fill the hopper with pellets, set the thermostat to its lowest setting. Plug the power cord into nearby outlet.

2.The exhaust blower will stay on for approximately 10 minutes even though the thermostat is not calling for heat. This is normal.

3.Locate the heat output control switch mounted on the upper right corner of the right side panel. Switch it to the high setting by pushing the top of the switch in, then adjust the thermostat to its highest setting. The red call light located on the upper right corner of the right side panel will be on. This indicates the thermostat is calling for heat.

4.The fuel feed system and the igniter should now be on.

5.For your first fire it will be necessary to press the reset button every two minutes until pellets start to drop into the firepot, then press button 1 more time. This will fill the feed system and allow the appliance to begin dropping pellets. The appliance will continue to run as long as the thermostat is calling for heat.

6.Once the appliance has ignited, let the it burn for approximately 15 minutes, then set the thermostat to the desired room temperature. Adjust the heat output control switch to the desired setting.

A properly adjusted fire with the heat output control switch set on “high” has a short active flame pattern that extends out of the firepot approximately 4 to 6 inches (102 to 152mm). If the fire has tall flames with black tails and seems somewhat lazy, the feed rate will need to be reduced. This is done by sliding the fuel adjustment control rod down, which will reduce the feed. If the fire is not 4 to 6 inches (102 to 152mm) tall, slide the fuel adjustment control rod up to increase the feed. A medium and low setting will give a shorter flame. The flame will rise and fall somewhat. This is normal.

F. Feed Rate Adjustment Instructions

The feed adjustment control rod is factory set, and should be adequate for most fuels. The set screw is located at the bottom of the hopper and set loose at the factory so the fuel adjustment control rod will slide up and down by only loosening the thumb screw at the top. See Figure 23.1. Do not re-tighten bottom set screw.

However, if the flame height is too high or too low, you will need to adjust the feed rate. Wait until the appliance has been burning for 15 minutes before making your adjustments and allow 15 minutes for feed adjustment to take effect.

1.Loosen the thumb screw. Figure 23.1.

2.Adjust the fuel adjustment control rod towards the "+" symbol to increase the feed rate and flame height or towards the "-" symbol, to decrease the feed rate and flame height.

3.Re-tighten the thumb screw.
