UNDERSTANDING THE NORMAL HEAT SCREENS (CONT.)
CORN AS FUEL
PUSH AUX 1 TO SET
STARTING FIRE 
LEVEL ^
If corn is the fuel of choice, press AUX 1 to load corn settings. Low moisture corn will have the highest BTU content.
NOTE: DO NOT use seed corn because it has a chemical coating that is toxic when burned.
PRESSWOOD PELLET
PUSH AUX 1 TO SET
If pressed wood pellets are the fuel of choice, press AUX 1 to load all of the wood settings. There are three grades of pressed wood pellets (GS1, GS2, GS3). This setting works well with the lower grade pellets. The best grade is GS1 because it is hardwood and contains the least amount of ash and the most BTU’s per pound.
NAT’L WOOD PELLET
PUSH AUX 1 TO SET
If natural wood pellets are the fuel of choice, press AUX 1 to load all of the wood settings. There are many types of natural wood pellets sold throughout the USA. This setting works well with GS1 or better. Some other types of natural wood pellets are cherry pits and cocoa beans.
STARTUP CHECK
EXHAUST RUNNING
The POV (Proof of Vacuum) switch has detected vacuum. There is a 15 second delay waiting for the screen to process all the settings after the ON key is pushed.
LIGHT FIRE AND
PUSH THE ON KEY
This screen waits for the ON key to be pushed. It is important to light the fire before pushing the ON key because opening the door to light the fire will produce a loss of vacuum fault.
After the fire is lighted and the ON key is pushed the controller displays this message. The timer bar counts down for ten minutes. If after ten minutes and the stove has reached the normal operating temperature, the next screen will be displayed.

STOVE CONTROLLED
BY TEMP KEY ^
The stove is now up to operating temperature. Any of the six heat settings can be selected by pushing the TEMP UP or TEMP DOWN keys. There is a time delay between each level.
^ Indicates BTU Level (see chart above)
Note:The heat content of any pellet will vary because of the moisture content and the type of process used to form the pellet.
STOVE CONTROLLED
BY THERMOSTAT
Special terminals are provided to connect the stove to a standard wall thermostat (not included). See page 17 for terminal location. When this key is pushed the stove is now controlled by the “heat call” of the wall thermostat.
