F. Starting Your First Fire

1.A thermostat is required for proper operation of this appliance, except for corn. At this time, fi ll 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 18 minutes even though the thermostat is not calling for heat. This is normal.

3.Locate the heat output control switch on the lower right side of the firebox behind decorative front door. Set to the HIGH setting and then adjust the thermostat to its highest setting. The red call light will be on which is located on the top of the junction box behind the right access panel. This indicates the thermostat is calling for heat. Figure 27.1.

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

5.For your fi rst fi re it will be necessary to press the reset button once per minute until pellets start to drop into the fi repot, then press button 1 more time. This will fi ll 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 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.

G. Fire Characteristics

A properly adjusted fi re with the heat output control switch set on “HIGH” has a short active fl ame pattern that extends out of the fi repot approximately 4 inches (102mm).

If the fire has tall flames with black tails and seems somewhat lazy, the feed rate will need to be reduced.

If the fi re is not 4 inches (102mm) tall, increase the feed rate. A medium and low setting will give a shorter flame. The flame will rise and fall somewhat. This is normal.

H. Feed Rate Adjustment Instructions

The feed adjustment control rod is factory set, and should be adequate for most fuels. The control rod will slide by only loosening the wing 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. Make adjustments in approximately 1/2 inch increments.

1.Loosen the wing screw. Figure 27.2.

2.Adjust the fuel adjustment control rod towards to the right and up to increase the feed rate and fl ame height or to the left and down to decrease the feed rate and flame height.

3.Re-tighten the wing screw.

NOTE: We recommend the use of a 50-50 blend of corn and wood pellets. The only change in operation is that the feed rate may require a slight adjustment. If the appliance is running all of the time, 100% corn will work after the fi re has been started using wood pellets.

CAUTION

Odors and vapors released during initial operation.

•Curing of high temperature paint.

•Open windows for air circulation.

Odors may be irritating to sensitive individuals.
