Helpful Hints

1.Fines are small pieces of broken pellets (sawdust). Fines do not flow easily and often build up on the hopper funnel bottom angles. You can push these fines into the feeder opening and then fill the hopper with pellets. As the system works, they will be burned. Or you can clean them out before filling the hopper. As the system works, they will be burned.

2.The "TEST" cycle will operate the feeder motor for exactly one minute. Turning to "TEST" again and again may purge too much fuel into the burn pot causing excessive smoke on start-up.

3.The firebox low pressure switch will not allow the auger motor or the igniter element to operate if the view door or the ash pan door are open.

4.Adjust Feed Rate. If this is your first fire or you are trying different pellets, set the feed adjuster to #4, Fig. 26. This is a conservative number and will probably need to be increased. After you know a feed rate setting that works well, use that setting. Remember, if your feed rate is too high you may waste fuel.

5.This is usually a weekly maintenance procedure. Cleaning the burn pot with the scraper with a small amount of new fuel in the bottom is not a problem. First, scrape the ashes off the front of the burn pot into the ash pan. Then, scrape the top surface of the burn pot downward into the base of the burn pot. When the stove is ignited these scrapings will be pushed out by the feeder and burned.

6.The ash pan can hold the ashes from approximately 1 ton of premium fuel. This means the ashes will only need to be emptied a few times a year.

7.Setting the feed adjuster # for maximum burn: With the unit burning in "AUTO", turn to "Stove Mode" and put the fan on "H". Set the Temperature Dial to #7. Allow the unit to burn for about 30 minutes and check ash on front of burn pot. Fig. 28. If the ash line is larger than 1", turn the feed adjuster from #3 to #4. Allow another

30minutes of burn time and check again. If , at #6 setting, a 1" or less ash bed is not obtainable, it is not a problem. The 1" ash bed is only a maximum burn rate and at most normal settings the ash bed will be larger.

Manual "Cold" Start

Igniter Switch to "MANUAL" (up position)

Make sure the unit is plugged into a 120 VAC, 60 HZ electrical source.

IMPORTANT: To avoid unwanted smoke, Be sure there is no fuel or other combustibles in the ash pan prior to lighting.

Keep all doors closed during operation. Maintain all seals and gaskets in good condition.

Use only the burn pot, as supplied in the firebox, to support or contain the burning fuel. No other form of grate or rack is permitted.

1.Turn FEED ADJUSTER to the desired feed rate. No. 4 is good for most pellets.4

2.Turn the Mode Selector to “OFF” and then to the desired mode. This will reset the control and start the combustion motor.

3.Turn the Temperature Dial to the desired setting.

4.Clean the burn pot with the scraper, if necessary.5

5.Fill the burn pot with pellets, only level with front edge. (Do Not Over Fill).

NOTE: If an automatic ignition was attempted - Be sure to give the appliance at least 30 minutes of cooling time before proceeding with these instructions.

6.Add starting gel on top of the pellets. Stir the gel into pellets for faster lighting.

SEE CAUTION BELOW. The use of a starting gel that is commercially marketed for use with pellet stoves is permitted ONLY when performing a cold start. Also be sure to perform the above steps in sequence to ensure combustion blower operation before applying the starting gel. Follow the starter manufacturer's instructions for proper application.

7.Light the starting gel with a match, and close the door. Operation will begin when the fire reaches the proper temperature.3

8.Fill the hopper with pellets and remove ashes as required.1, 6

CAUTION

DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO START THE FIRE. For example: NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR "FRESHEN UP" A FIRE IN THIS HEATER. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM THE HEATER WHILE IT IS IN USE.
