STARTING UP

YOUR PELLET STOVE

1STARTUP CHECKLIST

Please make certain you have completed the following checklist before proceeding:

.Unit is plugged into a 3 pronged grounded outlet

.Burn pot is clean, level & seated properly

.Front door of the stove is closed

.Screened pellets are in the hopper

.Pellet fuel complies with PFI standards (pelletheat.org)

.Unit is NOT plugged into a GFI outlet (ground fault interruptor)

FOR NEW INSTALLATIONS:

. Used only PL or L approved venting

. Sealed vent connections with high temp RTV sealant

and allow sealant to cure for 24 hours

. Make sure #1 trim pod is set to 9 o’clock position (see pg 5)

. Air inlet damper is OPEN to between 1/4” and 1/2”

(see ‘Initial Setup’ section on page 4)

We STRONGLY recommend the use of a surge protector

to protect the circuitry in your control board.

2LIGHTING PROCEDURE

Push firmly on the START / FEED RATE button.

Procedures listed will work with both

AcuTron II & AcuTron III control boards.

AThe COMBUSTION FAN (exhaust) will start and operate at full speed for 60 seconds, then will slow to match the startup rate

BThe CONVECTION FAN (heat circulation) will start and the LED will go solid on LOW setting

CThe AUGER CYCLE LED will go solid for 3 seconds indicating the signal is being sent to auger motor

DThe IGNITER LED will light up solid and the igniter will begin to heat up

3 On a primed auger system, pellets will begin to fall into the BURN GRATE, HOPPER and the igniter will automatically ignite pellets in approximately

3 to 7 minutes.

During first-time startup procedure, your auger system IS NOT PRIMED (meaning pellets have not filled the entire auger system yet). To solve this, simply press theSTART / FEED RATE button again.

If the fire does not start, your stove will continue to feed pellets and run the fans for 15 minutes. The stove will then automatically shut off.

If the stove fails to ignite a second time, refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING section of your manual or contact your pellet stove dealer.

NOTE: New stoves can emanate an odor during the initial few hours of burning while the paint cures.

Ventilating the room is strongly recommended until the odors disappear.

The standard outlines critical requirements for gas connections, venting, and clearances from combustible materials to mitigate fire hazards and ensure optimal performance.

The technologies incorporated into products designed under the CAN/CSA B365 standard highlight innovation in outdoor heating. Many appliances leverage advanced burner technology that allows for efficient fuel consumption, minimizing waste while maximizing heat output. This technology not only enhances safety but also contributes to environmentally friendly practices by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, aligning with the increasing consumer demand for sustainable outdoor solutions.

Another characteristic of products compliant with CAN/CSA B365 is their durability. The materials used in their construction are specifically chosen to withstand various weather conditions, including extreme temperatures, humidity, and UV exposure. This ensures that consumers receive long-lasting products that maintain their aesthetic and functional appeal over time.

In terms of installation, the standard emphasizes user-friendliness. Manufacturers are encouraged to design their products with clear instructions and compatible components, allowing for straightforward assembly and installation.
