Operation
P38+ Pellet Stove
Placing too many pellets in the burn pot may cause the fire to be pushed off the end.

Never use gasoline,
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.
When filling hopper be sure to remove any |

pellets from ledge and around hinges before | 1" |

Starting First Fire
Be sure the power cord is plugged into a 120 volt grounded receptacle.
Fill the hopper with pellets.
Fill the burn pot with pellets to a level no more than shown in Fig. 14.
Turn Feed Rate Dial to "1". NOTE: Every time the control is turned from "OFF" to any other position on the dial the stove goes through a self test for a minute or less during which all motors will run. After this period, only the combustion motor run. See Test Mode.
Apply starting gel to pellets in burn pot and light the gel as shown in fig. 15. Close the door after lighting (A low draft pressure switch will not allow the feed motor to operate with the door open). As the temperature of the fire increases, the feed motor will start and pellets will feed into the burn pot. As the stove temperature in- creases the distribution blower will start and run at the speed set on the Blower Speed dial.
Normal Operation: After the fire is established turn the feed rate to the desired setting from "1" to "5". The ESP probe in the exhaust will sense the flue gas temperatures and adjust the feed rate in order to maintain a stove temperature relative to the setting on the dial. The blower Speed may be adjusted by turning the blower to the desired setting.
Turbo Operation: Turning the feed rate into the Turbo range will provide approximately 5000 btu's more than in Normal range.
Shut-Down Procedure
To kill the fire or stop burning the stove, turn the Mode Selector to "OFF". This will cause the fire to diminish and burn out. When the fire burns out and the stove cools down, everything will stop.
If you pull the plug to shut down the stove, all motors will stop. This may cause incomplete combustion and smoke in the firebox. If the load door is opened the smoke may escape.
The best way to shut down the stove is simply let it run out of pellets, then turn the control to "OFF".
