helpful hints
1. Fines are small pieces of broken pellets (sawdust). Fines do not
ow easily and often build up on the hopper funnel bottom angles.
You can push these nes into the feeder opening and then ll the
hopper with pellets. As the system works, they will be burned. Or
you can clean them out before lling the hopper.
2. The "TEST" cycle will operate the feeder motor for exactly one
minute. Turning to "TEST" again and again may load too much fuel
into the burn pot causing excessive smoke on start-up.
3. The rebox low pressure switch will not allow the auger motor to
operate if the view door or the ash pan door are open.
4. Adjust Feed Rate. If this is your rst re or you are trying different
pellets, set the feed adjuster to #4, Fig. 17. This is a conservative
number and will probably need to be increased. After you know a
feed rate setting that works well, use that setting. Remember, if your
feed rate is too high you may waste fuel.
5. This is usually a weekly maintenance procedure. Cleaning the
burn pot with the scraper with a small amount of new fuel in the
bottom is not a problem. First, scrape the ashes off the front of the
burn pot into the ash pan. Then, scrape the top surface of the burn
pot downward into the base of the burn pot. When the stove is
ignited these scrapings will be pushed out by the feeder and burned.
6. The ash pan can hold the ashes from approximately 1 ton of
premium fuel. This means the ashes will only need to be emptied
a few times a year.
7. Setting the feed adjuster # for maximum burn: With the unit
burning in "AUTO", turn to "Stove Mode" and put the fan on "H".
Set the Temperature Dial to #7. Allow the unit to burn for about 30
minutes and check ash on front of burn pot. Fig. 18. If the ash line
is larger than 1", turn the feed adjuster from #4 to #5. Allow another
30 minutes of burn time and check again. If , at #6 setting, a 1" or
less ash bed is not obtainable, it is not a problem. The 1" ash bed
is only a maximum burn rate and at most normal settings the ash
bed will be larger.
