Helpful Hints

1.Fines are small pieces of broken pellets (sawdust). Fines do not flow easily and often build up on the hopper funnel bottom angles. You can push these fines into the feeder opening and then fill the hopper with pellets. As the system works, they will be burned. Or you can clean them out before filling the hopper.

2.The "TEST" cycle will operate the feeder motor for exactly one minute. Turning to "TEST" again and again may purge too much fuel into the burn pot causing excessive smoke on start-up.

3.The firebox low pressure switch will not allow the auger motor or the igniter element to operate if the view door or the ash pan door are open.

4.Adjust Feed Rate. If this is your first fire 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

30minutes 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.

Starting First Fire

Igniter Switch to"AUTO"(up position)

Make sure the unit is plugged into a 120 VAC, 60 HZ electrical source. The power light should be the only light lit.

Notice: Be sure there is no unburned fuel or other combustibles in the ash pan prior to lighting.

1.Turn Mode Selector to "OFF".

2.Fill hopper with pellets.1

3.Clean burn pot with scraper, if necessary.5

4.If starting after an empty hopper, turn Feed Adjuster to "TEST" (for one 60 second cycle).2 This will purge pellets into the auger tube and also allow you to check the motors for operation.

NOTE: The auger motor will not operate with the view door or ash pan door open.3

5.Turn Feed Adjuster to #4.4

6.Flip the Igniter Switch up into the "AUTO" position.

7.Turn the Temperature Dial to the desired temperature.

8.Turn Mode Selector to Room Temperature or Stove Temperature.

9.Fill hopper with pellets and remove ashes as required.6
