Pre-lighting Instructions
During an initial
To prime the auger feed system:
1.Fill the hopper with recommended pellet fuel and plug the stove into the wall outlet.
2.Press the "START" button on the control board to start the fuel feed. Next, press the "HEAT OUTPUT" button to position #5 (maximum feed rate).
3.Look through the combustion chamber door and when you see the first pellets dropping into the UltraGrate™, the auger is then fully primed. It will take 10 to 15 minutes to prime the auger.
4.Once the auger is primed, press the "STOP" button to turn off the auger (LED will go off).
Starting Your Pellet Stove
1.Make sure the auger is primed (see
2.While the pellets will ignite on any heat output setting, it is recom- mended that the "HEAT OUTPUT" button be set to position #3. Pellets will start feeding into the UltraGrate and should begin to ignite in approximately seven minutes. The Fastfire igniter will automatically shut off after fifteen minutes (on hot starts igniter will shut off after seven minutes).
3.After the pellets are burning well, press the "HEAT OUTPUT" selector to the desired setting. Combustion air and the pellet fuel feed rate will adjust automatically as the "HEAT OUTPUT" button is pressed. The flame should be bright yellow in color and there should be no evidence of soot formation at the top of the flame. Press the "BLOWER" speed button to increase or decrease the blower speed to the desired level
4.If operating your stove with the wall thermostat, adjust the "HEAT OUTPUT" button to the desired demand mode (#1 through #5 on the "HEAT OUTPUT" button). Next, adjust the wall mounted thermostat to the desired room temperature and your stove will automatically switch between a demand mode and
Notes:
Cold Start - When the "START" button is pressed when the appliance is cold, voltage will bypass its normal circuit through the low limit thermal switch (for 25 to 35 minutes to allow adequate time for the low limit thermal switch to heat [140° F min.] which will close the circuit). The combustion and convection blowers will start at maximum speed. After approximately 10 seconds both blowers will default to settings they were at after the last shut down was completed (indicated by LED's #1 to #5). The Fastfire igniter will operate for approximately 15 minutes. The auger will turn continuously for a predetermined dura- tion at the respective Heat Output Settings, followed by the normal operating mode.
General Operating Considerations
Proper Burn Characteristics: Your flame should be bright yellow under normal operations. If your flame becomes reddish/orange, your stove probably needs routine maintenance. Excessive amounts of
Manual and Automatic Operation
Your pellet stove can be operated in either the manual or automatic mode. The manual mode is used when operating without a wall thermostat. The automatic mode is used when utilizing a wall thermostat. When utilizing the thermostat capability, the burn time can be extended dramatically depending on thermostat setting. Note: It is normal for some ash to build up on the inner glass surface at the lower Heat Output settings.
Manual Operation
Pressing the "START" button will initiate the
Automatic Operation
Your stove is capable of running in an automatic mode with the use of a wall thermostat.
For the wall thermostat to control the operation of the stove, set it to a temperature that will put it in the demand mode (calling for heat). The thermostat will establish either a demand mode or a
Once the
Note: If the "START" button is pressed while the thermostat is in the standby mode the stove will not restart until the thermostat closes (call- ing for heat).
