HOW YOUR APPLIANCE WORKS
The operations and maintenance of your Glow Boy Series of
Cautions:
Do not try to operate your stove with viewing door open. Pellets will not feed under these circumstances and a safety concern may arise from sparks or fumes entering room.
If you are not drawing combustion air from outside, care must be taken to allow for adequate air make up, to avoid possible room air starvation when stove or other exhaust fans are in operation.
It is highly recommended that you install a high quality smoke detector as well as a carbon monoxide gas detector in the room where stove is installed. Care should be taken to make sure detectors are in working order at all times.
FUEL CONSIDERATIONS
Your Glow Boy Series of
1.Wood pellets that comply with the Pellet Fuel Industries standards.
2.A combination of up to 50/50 Wood Pellet and Shelled Corn
3.100% Shelled Corn or Grain, using the
Memory & Fan Trim
Fuel in the form of wood pellets , shelled corn or grain is stored in the hopper. An auger delivers the pellets to the burn grate. The fuel rate, or heat output, is set by adjusting the feed rate touch pad, (settings 1 to 4). A fan provides combustion air to the burn grate. The amount of combustion air in the burn grate is adjustable and automatically changes as the fuel rate changes. The higher the fuel rate, the larger the amount of combustion air and visa versa. The fuel burns in the burn grate, producing heat. Some heat radiates out the front of your stove. The majority of the heat passes around the heat exchange tubes and air plenum around the firebox and is then moved into the room by the room air fan. A small amount of heat must pass out the exhaust of your stove, along with gases, into the atmosphere.

Your stove can run efficiently over extended periods of time and at different heat output levels as long as the fuel supply is uninterrupted and timely cleaning and maintenance is preformed. An example of how improper cleaning effects operations is; the
exhaust pressure switch will shut the pellet supply off and your stove will shut off if the exhaust system be- comes plugged.
