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.
4.Close the front door.
CAUTION
Tip of thermocouple must be in contact with the inside end of the thermocouple cover.
Missed ignitions can occur.
D. Fuel Adjustment Control Rod
The set screw is located at the bottom of the hopper and set loose at the factory so the fuel adjustment control rod will slide by only loosening the wing nut. Do not
E. 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 10 minutes even though the thermostat is not calling for heat. This is normal.
3.Locate the heat output control switch on the right side behind the right side panel. Set to the HIGH setting and then adjust the thermostat to its highest setting. The red call light will be on which is located on the right side behind the right side panel. This indicates the thermostat is calling for heat. See Figure 24.1 on page 24.
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 approximately 2 minutes after
6.Once the appliance has ignited, let the 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. 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 to 6 inches
G. 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.Open the hopper lid and locate the fuel adjustment control rod.
2.Loosen the wing nut on the rod.
3.Adjust the fuel adjustment control rod towards the "+" symbol to increase the feed rate and flame height or towards the
4.
H. Ignition Cycles
1.During each ignition cycle, it is normal to see some smoke in the firebox. The smoke will stop once the fire starts.
2.The convection blower will automatically turn on after your appliance has reached the set temperature. This blower transfers heat from your appliance into the room, and will continue to run after the thermostat has stopped calling for heat until the appliance has cooled down.
3.Occasionally the appliance may run out of fuel and shut itself down. When this happens, the red call light will be on. To restart it, fill the hopper and press the reset button. When you press the reset button the red call light will go out. Release the button and the light will come back on. You should see a fire shortly. If not, follow the instructions “Starting Your First Fire”.on this page.
CAUTION
Odors and vapors released during initial operation.
•Curing of high temperature paint.
•Open windows for air circulation.
Odors may be irritating to sensitive individuals.
