Starting A Fire Automatically
1.Turn Mode Selector to “OFF”.
This resets the control in addition to turning it off.
2.Clean Burnpot with scraper.
This is typically a weekly maintenance procedure, but, depending on the fuel being burned, may need done more frequently. 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 from the front of the burn pot into the ash pan. Then scrape the hole grid surface downward into the burn pot. When the stove is ignited these scrapings will be pushed out by the feeder.
CAUTION: Wear
3. Fill Hopper with pellets.
Before refilling the hopper, check for excessive fines in the bottom of the hopper. Fines are small pieces of broken pellets (sawdust). Fines do not flow easily and often build up on the hopper funnel bottom angles.
These fines can be pushed into the feeder opening and then fill the hopper with pellets. As the system works, they will be burned.
