B. 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 shut off and the appliance will shut down. Figure 27.1.
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 always start up on High. After burning approximately 4 minutes, the appliance will then burn at the rate at which it was originally set. If the appliance is set at one of the lower settings, it will run quieter but takes 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.
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. 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. Figure 27.1.
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.
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.
