DO NOT OPERATE THE UNIT WITH THE DOOR OR ASH PAN OPEN. Keep hopper lid closed except during
CAUTION: When operating during adverse weather, such as high winds or freezing rain, if the unit exhibits dramatic changes in combustion stop using the unit immediately. Watch for blocked exhaust outlet.
Note: The thermostat mode can be changed during normal operation.
MANUAL MODE:
All control of circuit board function is adjusted at the circuit board.
To START: Press the ON / OFF button. The stove will turn on. |

of the auger (the Auger Feed Rate is |
|
up). The Heat Level Indicator will show the Heat Level that the stove |
|
will run at after | Figure 3: Thermostat Switch in |

out of fuel, the auger will need to be primed. Press the Manual Auger Feed button until fuel starts to drop
into the Burn Pot Liner (see “OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS; CONTROL BOARD FUNCTIONS”).
When a fire has been established, the System Light will turn solid and the convection blower will turn on (after approximately 10 - 15 minutes), and the Auger Light will continue to flash to the corresponding Heat Level setting.
To OPERATE: Press the Heat Level button to change the desired Heat Level Output setting.
The speed of the convection blower is controlled by the setting of the heat level. The Convection Blower does not operate when on Heat Output is on LOW, this is to prevent over cooling of the unit.
When operating on LOW HEAT LEVEL, the feed rate can be adjusted, using the auger trim, for different quality fuels. These settings can be used if the fire keeps going out on low (poor quality fuel) or if the low
setting is too hot for the room (see “OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS; CONTROL BOARD FUNCTIONS”).
HIGH/LOW MODE: (Requires a Thermostat or Timer)
INITIAL
OPERATION: When the thermostat calls for heat (contacts are closed) the stove settings are adjustable as per Manual Mode. When the thermostat contacts open, the HEAT LEVEL and Fans will drop down to the LOW setting until the thermostat contacts close again. *The LOW heat setting can be adjusted for different fuel qualities
(see “OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - CONTROL BOARD FUNCTIONS”). The stove will
come back to the previous HEAT LEVEL setting when the thermostat contacts close again.
AUTO/OFF MODE: (Requires a Thermostat or Timer)
INITIAL
OPERATION: When the thermostat contacts close, the unit will light automatically. Once up to temperature, the stove operates the same as in MANUAL. When the thermostat contacts open, the stove’s
