Scrape burnpot to remove any carbon build-up that may have occurred

Starting A Fire Automatically

1. Turn Mode Selector to “OFF”.

This resets the control in addition to turning it off.

2. Clean Burnpot with scraper, if necessary.

This is usually a weekly maintenance proce- dure. 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 on the front of the burn pot into the ash pan. Then scrape the hole grid surface downward into the burn pot. When the stove is ignited these scrapings will be pushed out by the feeder.

The illustration at left shows the hopper swing plate open for easy access to the burn pot. The burn pot can also be reached through the firebox door.

NOTE: To minimize the amount of stress placed on the hopper swing plate hinges, opening of the hopper swing plate should be done with the least amount of fuel in the hopper as possible.

3. Fill Hopper with pellets.

When filling the hopper check for excessive fines in the bottom of the hopper. Fines are small pieces of broken pellets (sawdust). Fines do not flow easily and often build up on the hopper funnel bottom angles. These fines can be pushed into the feeder opening and then fill the hopper with pellets. As the system works, they will be burned.
