Operation

CONTROL PANEL

Turning the stove OFF/ON, as well as adjustments for the fuel feed rate and room air fan speed are performed by pressing the appropriate button(s) on the control panel which is located on the lower left-hand side of your King/Ashley stove (see FIGURE 10).

Pressing the “ON” button on the control panel will begin the start-up sequence for the stove. Fuel will begin to feed through the auger feed system and, once an adequate amount of fuel has been deposited into the burn pot, the auto-start igniter will ignite the fuel.

Pressing the up/down arrow buttons beneath the “HEAT RANGE” and “BLOWER SPEED” will adjust the amount of fuel that is fed to the burnpot and the amount of room air drawn through the stove to be heated, respectively. Either value can be set from 1 to 9 (lowest to highest).

DIGITAL CONTROL PANEL

Pressing the “OFF” button on the control panel will cause the stove to enter its shut-down sequence. The fuel feed system will stop pulling fuel from the hopper and, once the fire goes out and the stove cools down, the blowers will stop running.

The “A”, “B”, and “C” buttons on the control panel are reserved for diagnostic use only. These controls are disabled by default when the unit is shipped from our factory.

UNIT PREPARATION

After carefully unpacking and reading the instructions for installing your stove, you will need to perform the following steps:

1.) Attach the included spring handle to the door handle by screwing it on in a respective location.

Attach the electrical cord to the back of the stove first; then plug it into a 110-volt outlet (an outlet surge protector is

2.) highly recommended).

PERFORMING A “DRY RUN”

Perform a “dry run” on your stove prior to making the exhaust/inlet connections and starting your stove for the first time. 1.) Check that there is NO fuel in the hopper or burn-pot.

2.) Check that the viewing door is securely closed.

3.) Press the “ON” button on the control panel. This will start the auger and exhaust blower.

4.) Check that the auger and the exhaust blower are operating (the room air blower will not start at this time). DO NOT open the viewing door, the auto-start igniter will get very hot during this test. The stove will automatically shut down after approximately 23 minutes.
