MANUAL poition.
If this is the first time the unit has been started or the unit has run out of fuel, the auger will need to be primed. Press the Manual Auger Feed button until fuel starts to drop into the Burn Pot Liner (see
“OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS; CONTROL BOARD FUNCTIONS”).
To OPERATE: When a fire has been established, the System Light will turn solid (after approximately 10
-15 minutes) and the Auger Light will continue to flash to the corresponding Heat Level setting. The Heat Level button can now be pressed at this time to change the desired Heat Level Output setting.
The convection blower (room air blower) will turn on. The speed of this blower is controlled by the setting of the heat level output indicator. The convection blower can be turned OFF by depressing the convection blower control button. For the best efficiency and to prevent cycling, the convection blower should be left on at all times.
When operating on LOW HEAT LEVEL, the feed rate can be adjusted, using the auger trim, for different quality fuels. These settings can be used if the fire keeps going out on low (poor quality fuel). Or if the
low setting is too hot for the room (see “OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS; CONTROL BOARD FUNCTIONS”).
