D. Before Your First Fire

Be sure the appliance is installed properly and that all safety requirements have been met. Pay par- ticular attention to the clearances to combustibles, floor protection and the venting instructions.

Test your smoke detector(s) and CO detector(s) to the specifications of the manufacturer.

Double check that the ash pan and internal firebox are empty.

Be sure to read this entire manual.

E. Draft Test Procedure

Using a 9/16" wrench, remove the draft test port plug bolt, located to the left inside the firebox. This bolt threads downward through the outside of the body. Externally, the opened hole is located above the ash pan spring latch on the left.

Insert the draft meter hose into the test port.

Be sure the meter is ca- pable of a scale between 0 and 1 inch Water Column. Zero the meter if necessary, and be sure it is set up to read in negative pressure.

Be sure the ash pan, door, and hopper lid are all closed and latched.

Turn the feed adjuster to "Test" mode.

During the first minute of test, the combustion blower will be on high. Record the high draft reading here ____________-W.C. The high draft should be above -0.5" W.C. but no higher than -1" W.C.

After a minute, the combustion blower will go to low speed. Here you want to see a reading be- tween -0.30" and -0.35". If necessary, adjust the draft voltage using the low draft adjustment screw on the circuit board (See Page 24). Clockwise will increase the draft and counter-clockwise will decrease it.

Once set, record the low draft reading here:_____

______ -W.C.

Be sure and turn off of "Test" mode. Disconnect the meter and return the plug bolt to the test port.

F. Starting a Fire - "MANUAL"

1.With the mode selector in the "OFF" position, and the Feed Adjuster NOT on "Test", plug the power cord into a properly grounded receptacle.

2.Fill the hopper with DRY fuel.

3.Turn the FEED ADJUSTER dial to "Test". This will run the feed motor for one minute. If you begin to see fuel entering the burn pot, you can stop the test cycle. Return to #4 or #5 to start out.

4.Turn the mode selector dial to the desired mode. This will start the combustion blower operating.

If Room Temp is selected, be sure to turn the temperature dial above the current room tem- perature.

5.Fill the burn pot with a mixture of wood pellets and starting gel.

6.Light the starting gel with a match, and close the door.

7.Only after the ESP temperature increases, will the feeder start operating to increase the fire size.

NEVER APPLY STARTING GEL TO THE FUEL IN THE BURN POT WITHOUT THE COMBUSTION BLOWER OPERATING.
