Starting First Fire

Be sure the power cord is plugged into a 120 volt receptacle. This can be verified by the red power light on the control panel.

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

Fill the hopper with pellets.

Fill the burn pot with pellets to a level just short of overflowing, fig. 17.

Adjust feed rate. If this is your first fire or you are trying different pellets, set the feed adjuster to "4", fig. 18. 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, too high of a feed rate will waste fuel.

Turn Mode selector to "OFF" and then to "Stove Temp". This will turn the combustion blower to high. When starting a fire always turn the mode selector to "OFF" before selecting the desired mode. This resets the control for start-up.

Turn Temp Dial to 7. This will allow the stove to burn at maximum for feed rate adjusting purposes.

Apply starting gel to pellets in burn pot and light the gel. Close the door after lighting. At this point the distribution and combustion lights will be on and the feed motor light will be off. As the temperature of the fire increases, the feed motor light will come on and pellets will feed into the burn pot. As the stove temperature increases the distribution blower speed will increase.

After 30 to 45 minutes it may be necessary to readjust the feed rate. The feed rate should be adjusted so there is about one inch of ash in front of the fire, fig. 20. This is a maximum burn position and the stove may not achieve this position under normal burn rates.

"NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR "FRESHEN UP " A FIRE IN THIS HEATER. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM THE HEATER WHILE IN USE".
