C. Before Your First Fire

1.First, make sure your appliance has been properly installed and that all safety requirements have been met. Pay particular attention to the fire protection, venting and thermostat installation instructions.

2.Double check that the ash pan and firebox are empty!

3.Check the position of the thermocouple, located above the firepot, and make sure that it protrudes approximately 3/4 inch (19mm) into the firepot. IMPORTANT DETAIL:

The tip of the thermocouple must be in contact with the inside end of the thermocouple cover.

E. Fire Characteristics

A properly adjusted fire with the heat output control switch set on “high” has a short active flame pattern that extends out of the firepot approximately 4 inches (102mm). If the fire has tall flames with black tails and seems somewhat lazy, the feed rate will need to be reduced. This is done by sliding the fuel adjustment control rod down, which will reduce the feed. If the fire is not 4 inches (102mm) tall, slide the fuel adjustment control rod up to increase the feed. A medium and low setting will give a shorter flame. The flame will rise and fall somewhat. This is normal.

4. Close the front door.

D. Starting Your First Fire

1.A thermostat is required for proper operation of this appliance, except for corn. At this time, fill the hopper with pellets, set the thermostat to its lowest setting. Plug the power cord into nearby outlet.

2.The exhaust blower will stay on for approximately 18 minutes even though the thermostat is not calling for heat. This is normal.

3.Locate the heat output control switch mounted on the back of the appliance in the upper right corner. See Figure 21.1 on page 21. Turn it to the “high” setting by pushing the top of the control switch in and then adjust the thermostat to its highest setting. Open the right side panel and the red call light located behind the control box will be on. See Figure 22.1. This indicates the thermostat is calling for heat.

4.The fuel feed system and the igniter should now be on.

5.For your first fire it will be necessary to press the reset button once approximately 2 minutes after start up and again in 5 minutes. This will fill the feed system and allow the appliance to begin dropping pellets. The appliance will continue to run as long as the thermostat is calling for heat.

6.Once the appliance has ignited, let it burn for approximately 15 minutes, then set the thermostat to the desired room temperature. Adjust the heat output control switch to the desired setting.

F. Feed Rate Adjustment Instructions

The feed adjustment control rod is factory set, and should be adequate for most fuels. However, if the flame height is too high or too low, you will need to adjust the feed rate. Wait until the appliance has been burning for 15 minutes before making your adjustments and allow 15 minutes for feed adjustment to take effect.

1.Loosen the set screw 1/4 to 1/2 turn during set-up of appliance. This will allow movement of the feed adjustment control rod. Do not re-tighten set screw.

Figure 22.2.

2.Loosen the wing nut. Figure 22.3.

3.Adjust the feed adjustment control rod upward towards the "+" symbol to increase the feed rate and flame height or down towards the "-" symbol, to decrease the feed rate and flame height. Figure 22.3.

4.Re-tighten the wing nut.
