CARE AND OPERATION
Continued from last page…
1.Place a recommended fire starter (see your dealer for appropriate fire starter in your area) in the UltraGrateTM and put a handful of pellets on top of the starter. DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS TO START YOUR STOVE.
2.Light the fire starter in the UltraGrateTM with a match and close the door. Press the heat output selector but- ton to position 3.
3.After approximately 10 seconds, press the START but- ton. You will notice that the fire will become active and there will be air coming from the heat exchanger tubes.
4.After the pellets in the UltraGrateTM are burning suffi- ciently (red hot coals), press the AUGER ON/OFF but- ton: this will activate the auger motor and pellets will begin to feed into the UltraGrateTM. our blower motors will continue to operate.
5.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 selector 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 control knob to in- crease or decrease the desired amount of convection air from your stove.
If operating your stove with a wall thermostat, adjust the heat output selector button to the desired demand mode (#2 through #5 on the HEAT OUTPUT selector button). Next, adjust the wall mounted thermostat to the desired heat and your stove will automatically switch between a demand mode and a pilot mode.
DAMPER OPERATION
The Damper Rod is preset at 2 1/4” which is proper for the average installation. In some cases the damper may need to be adjusted from the standard setting.
Adjustment Procedure: Loosen setscrew on set collar (see illustrations on this page), then adjust in 1/4" incre- ments until optimum combustion air flow is achieved. For less air push in and for more air pull out. After adjust- ment, position set collar against side panel and tighten setscrew.

•During this period, the auger motor will gradually speed up its rotation cycle as the gearbox wears in. This will correspondingly increase the fuel feed rate. The flame pattern will grow accordingly, and the damper rod may need to be pulled out slightly to compensate.
•DO NOT ADJUST THE CONTROL BOARD INTER- NAL SETTINGS AT THE TIME OF INSTALLATION! All adjustments to compensate for burn characteris- tics should be done with the damper on the
When your new stove is installed; the exhaust should be hooked up, the stove plugged in and the fire started. Check for proper operation at all heat output settings (#1
-#5). Look for a brisk yellow flame with no black tips. Continued on next page…
