Castile & Santa Fe CE Pellet Stove
R
D. General Operating Information
1. Thermostat Calls For Heat
The appliance is like most modern furnaces; when the thermostat calls for heat, your appliance will automatically light and deliver heat. When the room is up to temperature and the thermostat is satisfied, the red call light will go off and the appliance will shut down.
2. Heat Output Controls
This appliance is equipped with a heat output control switch that has three settings or burn rates; low, medium and high. The appliance will turn on and off as the thermostat demands. When the thermostat calls for heat, the appliance will start up at the burn rate for which it is set. If the appliance is set at one of the lower settings, it will run quieter but take longer to heat up an area than if it were set at a higher burn rate. Regardless of the burn rate, when the area is warm enough to satisfy the thermostat, the appliance will shut off.

E. 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 drawer and firebox are empty!
3.Close the front door.
IMPORTANT DETAIL: The tip of the thermocouple must be in contact with the inside end of the thermocouple cover or missed ignitions can occur.
F. Filling the Hopper with Fuel
1. Open the hopper lid and pull the lid towards you. The lid can now serve as a shelf to support the bag of fuel.
2.Do not over fill the hopper. The lid must be completely closed to maintain proper vacuum and for the feed motor to operate. An error message will appear on the wall control if the lid is not properly closed.
3.Remove any sawdust or fuel from the lid gasket after refilling hopper.
4.Do not leave any part of the fuel bag on the appliance after refilling hopper.
5.Store fuel away from the appliance to maintain proper safe air clearance to combustibles.
G. Starting Your First Fire
1.A thermostat is required for proper operation of this appliance. 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. Figure 9.1. Turn it to the “high” setting by pushing the top of the control switch in and then adjust the thermostat to its highest setting. Remove the right side panel and the red call light located to the left of the control box will be on. Figure 10.1. 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.
