N.B.: It is possible to change the setting of your unit such that if the thermostat does not call for heat after 45 minutes, the unit will remain at the lowest heat setting (#1) but will not shut down (this is the PILOT ON mode). The stove will remain at the lowest heat level until the thermostat calls for heat again. It is also possible that the unit shuts down as soon as the thermostat stops calling for heat. This mode is called “PILOT OFF”. If you prefer that your unit runs following one of these logics, you need to change the setting to PILOT ON or PILOT OFF by simultaneously pressing the following two buttons on the PC Board for a couple of seconds:

and

Once you do that, the letters P, I, L, O, T, O, N will appear on the PC Board to let you know that you are in the “PILOT ON” mode. By pressing again the two buttons, the letters P, I, L, O, T, O,F,F will appear on the PC Board to let you know that you are in the “PILOT OFF” mode. If you wish to go back to the default thermostatic mode (i.e. the unit shuts down after 45 minutes if the thermostat does not call for heat), simply press the same two buttons again for a couple of seconds. The letters P, I, L, O, T, A, U, T, O will appear on the PC Board to let you know that you are in the “PILOT AUTO” mode.

NOTE: When in thermostatic mode:

YOU SHOULD NOT OPERATE THE MANUAL CONTROL OR PLAY WITH THE TEMPERATURE

SETTING.

YOUR THERMOSTAT SHOULD BE INSTALLED BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER OR SERVICE

PERSON.

2.14.OPERATING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ THIS!

a.If you notice a smoldering fire (burnpot full but no visible flame) AND a heavy smoke buildup in the firebox, immediately TURN OFF the stove, but DO NOT unplug it. Do not open the door. Make sure that the fresh air damper is open and do not tamper with any controls on the stove. Wait until smoke inside the firebox clears and blowers shut down. Do as instructed in “PRE-START-UP CHECK” and “LIGHTHING PROCEDURE”, then attempt to restart the fire. If the problem persists, contact your dealer. Please note that smoke build-up during ignition may occur. Smoke can accumulate in the firebox for a few seconds just before the igniter is hot enough to fire-up the pellets in the burn pot. This is normal. As soon as there is fire in the burn pot, smoke will disappear.

b.DO NOT STORE OR USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS, ESPECIALLY GASOLINE, IN THE VICINITY OF YOUR DROLET STOVE. NEVER USE A GAS OR PROPANE TORCH, GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID OR SIMILAR FLUIDS TO START OR

“FRESHEN UP” A FIRE IN THIS HEATER.

c.WARNING: DO NOT OVERFIRE THIS STOVE. This may cause serious damage to your stove and void your warranty. It also may create a fire hazard in your home. IF ANY EXTERNAL PART OF THE UNIT BEGINS TO GLOW, YOU ARE OVERFIRING. Immediately press the “MODE” switch on the control panel, until reaching the „OFF‟ position. DO NOT UNPLUG YOUR STOVE. If you leave your house and your stove is not connected to a thermostat or a fresh air supply, do not leave it at the maximum setting. If the ambient air in a confined room becomes too hot, the stove may overheat and the thermal protection on the combustion motor, exhaust motor or auger motor may be activated. This will cause one of the motors to stop and a warning code may appear. Also, the thermistor may reach its maximum limit. If this happens, the stove will automatically reduce the feeding rate until the thermistor temperature has decreased.
