Your pellet stove utilizes a inclined auger fuel
feed system that is operated by a microprocessor
controlled digital circuit board. The digital circuit
board allows the inclined auger fuel feed system
to run in a timer-based, non-continuous cycle; this
cycling allows the auger to run for a predetermined
period of seconds. The auger pushes pellets up a
chute located at the front/bottom of the hopper
which in turn falls through another chute into the
burnpot. Your stove is equipped with an automatic
ignition system that should ignite the fuel within
5-10 minutes from pressing the ON button. As
pellets enter the burn pot and ignite, outside air
is drawn across the fuel and heated during the
combustion process which is then pulled through
the heat exchanger by the exhaust motor or draft
fan. As the stove heats up, room air is circulated
around the heat exchanger by means of a room air
blower, distributing warm air into the room.
The amount of heat produced by the stove is
proportional to the rate of the fuel that is burned, and
this rate is controlled by the “HEAT RANGE” setting.
In order to maintain combustion of the fuel at a
desired rate, the air provided to the burn chamber
by the exhaust or draft fan must be maintained
precisely. Too little air will result in a flame that is
non-energetic or lazy. If the fuel continues to flow
with too little air for long enough, the burn pot will
fill with too much fuel and the fire will smother out.
To much air will result in a flame that is overactive
or aggressive. The flame in this situation is typically
very blue at the bottom and resembles a blow torch.
If this situation continues, the fuel in the burn pot
will be consumed and the fire will go out. Matching
the amount of air required for proper combustion
to the fuel rate is the primary objective in effectively
burning pellets of various brands and qualities in
your stove. The air to fuel ratio can be adjusted to
allow almost any fuel quality to burn effectively by
following the procedures detailed in the remainder
of this manual. Because a forced draft pressure is
required for the combustion process inside your
stove, it is extremely important that the exhaust
system be properly installed and maintained. And,
that when operating your stove, you make sure that
the viewing door is properly sealed.
PANEL/REMOTE CONTROLS
The operation of this appliance can be controlled
from the panel located on the side of the stove and/
or by the remote control. The control functions are
as follows:
A.
On/Off Switch (“Power” Button)
•
When pushed, the stove will automatically ignite.
No other fire starter is necessary. The igniter
will stay on for at least 10 and up to 12 minutes,
depending on when Proof of Fire is reached. The
fire should start in approximately 5 minutes.
•
After pushing “POWER”, the auger motor is on for
3.5 minutes, off for 1 minute. During the remainder
of the start-up period, the auger motor operates
