Operating Instructions
HEAT LEVEL and Fans will drop down to the LOW setting for 30 minutes. If the thermostat contacts
close within the 30 min, the HEAT LEVEL will return to the previous MANUAL setting. If the thermostat
contacts remain open the stove automatically begins its shutdown routine. The stove will re-light when
the thermostat contacts close again.
TURNING YOUR PELLET STOVE OFF:
• MANUAL and HI / LOW mode: To turn the unit OFF, simply press the ON / OFF button. This will stop
the feed of pellets. The blowers will continue to operate and cool the stove down. When cool enough,
the stove will turn off.
• AUTO / OFF mode: To turn the unit OFF, turn the thermostat down or off.
DO NOT unplug unit while Combustion fan is operating. This may lead to smoke escaping from the stove.SLIDER/DAMPER SET-UP:
THE SLIDER / DAMPER MUST BE SET AT TIME OF INSTALLATION. A Qualified Service Technician
or Installer must set the Slider Damper. This is used to regulate the airflow through the pellet stove. The
slider damper knob is located on the left cab side (see Figure 7).
If the fire should happen to go out and the heat output indicator has
been set on the lowest setting, the Slider Damper should be pushed in
slightly, decreasing the air in the firebox.
If, after long periods of burning, the fire builds up and overflows the
burn pot or there is a build up of clinkers, this would be a sign that the
pellet quality is poor, this requires more primary air, the slider damper
must be pulled out to compensate. Pulling the slider damper out gives
the fire more air.
The easiest way to make sure that an efficient flame is achieved is to
understand the characteristics of the fire.
• A tall, lazy flame with dark orange tips requires more air – Open
slider (pull out) slightly.
• A short, brisk flame, like a blowtorch, has too much air – Close
slider (push in) slightly. Figure 7: Slider / Damper Knob.
• If the flame is in the middle of these two characteristics with
a bright yellow/orange, active flame with no black tips then
the air is set for proper operation, refer to Figure 8.
The combustion exhaust blower is a variable speed blower
controlled by the heat output button. This blower will decrease
the vacuum pressure inside the stove and as the heat output
button is turned down.
SPECIAL NOTES:
Pellet quality is a major factor in how the Pellet stove will operate.
If the pellets have a high moisture content or ash content the
fire will be less efficient and has a higher possibility of the fire
building up and creating clinkers (hard ash build-up).
