OPERATION
9
The control panel is located on the left hand side of the SP 6000 Multi-Fuel Stove. It will
allow you to control the operation of your stove and achieve the desired level of warmth.
Turning the unit On or Off, as well as adjusting the heat level setting, and adjusting the
convection fan speed is all accomplished with the control panel.
The unit has two modes of operation. The mode of operation switch can be adjusted to
change between each mode of operation. One is for use with a thermostat (T-Stat), and
the other is for use without a thermostat (Manual).
The On/Off button will turn your unit on or off depending on which mode it is in currently.
When you first start your stove by pressing the On/Off button, the stove will go into its
start-up cycle. The combustion fan will come on (low setting) and the unit will conduct a
self-diagnostics. Four minutes later, the auger will begin to feed fuel into the burn pot.
The Heat Level button will increase or decrease the heat level setting of your stove from
Low (1) to High (5).
The Fan Speed button will increase or decrease your convection fan speed, and the
amount of air being blown into the room. Although you can increase the fan speed above
the pre-programmed speed for each setting, you cannot decrease the convection fan
speed below the heat level setting.
The Auger Feed button will cause the auger to feed additional fuel into the burn pot.
Pressing and holding the Auger Feed button will cause a steady stream of fuel to be added
to the fire. Use this sparingly as an over-feed or over-heating situation could occur.
The following information should help you understand how your SP 6000 Multi-Fuel stove functions. Be sure to read
these instructions carefully so that you understand the proper operation of your stove. If you need assistance or do not
understand these directions your dealer should be able to assist you. You can also look at our website for some
additional information and contact information for technical support.
Once your press the On/Off button on your stove, the combustion fan will start immediately and the unit will go into a
pre-programmed start-up cycle.
Start-up Cycle
When the unit is first started, or when restarting after the power has been interrupted, it will initially be in a pre-
programmed start-up mode. During this period the stove will not function on the heat level setting you have selected.
Instead, the unit will function at low heat level setting (1) until the start-up cycle is completed. During this pre-
programmed start-up cycle, the Power light will be flashing.
Once the stove has reached the minimum operating temperature, the convection blower will come on and begin to blow
air into the room. A short time later (within 15 minutes of initially pressing the On/Off button to start the stove), the
unit will complete the start-up cycle and the Power light will no longer flash and stay lit. At this point, the unit will go to
the heat level setting you have the stove set to.
Changing Heat Levels
When adjusting the heat level setting, keep in mind that you will experience a delay between successive heat level
increases. This delay is there in order to allow the fire to stabilize between each heat level setting. This delay affects not
only the auger feed rate, but also the blower speeds.
When the Heat Level setting is increased or decreased, the fuel feed rate, convection fan speed and combustion fan
speed are all affected.
