2.10.REFUELING

We recommend that you do not let the hopper drop below ¼ full. If the reload lid stays open for more than

3 minutes, a warning will appear. To restart, press the “RESET” button, and then press the “MODE” button to start the unit on Manual or Thermostatic mode.

KEEP HOPPER LID CLOSED AT ALL TIMES EXCEPT WHEN REFILLING. THE HOPPER MAY BE FILLED

WHILE THE STOVE IS OPERATING. DO NOT OVERFILL HOPPER.

2.11.SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE

Turning your Drolet stove off is a matter of pressing the “MODE” control panel switch, until the “OFF” led goes on. The blowers will continue to operate until internal firebox temperatures has fallen to a preset level.

2.12.SAFETY FEATURES

a.If the exhaust blower fails, the flue is blocked or a back draft occurred inside the flue, an air pressure switch

will automatically shut down the auger and the combustion blower. Then, a warning message will appear. This safety feature is to prevent the unit from burning fuel when the exhaust blower has failed, therefore preventing combustion fumes from spilling into the room.

b.If the temperature in the auger rises beyond a certain acceptable level, a high temperature switch located on

the auger housing will stop the fuel feed system and a warning will appear.
