When the “1” light is illuminated on the bar graph the low feed rate is at its “normal” setting.
When the “1” & “4” lights are illuminated on the bar graph the low feed rate is at its “highest” setting.
NOTE:
When the stove is set on “1” the “reset trim” values will be shown on the Feed Rate Advance bar graph. For example
if the Reset Trim is set to low the “1” and “3” lights will be illuminated on the bar graph.
HEAT LEVEL ADVANCE
This button when pushed will set the pellet feed rate, hence the heat output of your stove. The levels of heat output will
incrementally change on the bar graph starting from level “1” to “5”.
NOTE
: When dropping more than 2 heat level settings (i.e. to 1) push the “High Fan” button and allow the room air fan to
run at that setting for at least 5 minutes to prevent the stove from tripping the high temp thermodisc. If the high temp thermodisc
does trip see “SAFETY FEATURES”.
PRE-STARTUP CHECK
Remove burnpot, making sure it is clean and none of the air holes are plugged. Clean the firebox, then reinstall burnpot. Clean
door glass if necessary (a dry cloth or paper towel is usually sufficient). Never use abrasive cleaners on the glass or door. Check
fuel in the hopper and refill if necessary. Make sure hopper lid is closed. If left open, the auger will not feed pellets.
BUILDING A FIRE
Never use a grate of other means of supporting the fuel. Use only the BOSCA approved burnpot.
NOTE:
During the first few fires, your stove will emit an odor as the high temperature paint cures or becomes seasoned to the
metal. Maintaining smaller fires will minimize this. Avoid placing items on the stovetop during this period because the paint could
be affected.
NOTE:
You will have the prime the auger system before the stove will ignite. You may have to go through 2-3 startup cycles,
with each cycle lasting 15 minutes. The stove will shut off. You must then go through the startup procedure again.
Factory-approved pellets are those 1/4” or 5/16” in diameter and not over 1” long. Longer or thicker pellets sometimes bridge
the auger flights, which prevents proper pellet feed. Burning wood in forms other than pellets is not permitted. It will violate
the building codes for which the stove has been approved and will void all warranties. The design incorporates automatic feed
of the pellet fuel into the fire at a carefully prescribed rate. Any additional fuel introduced by hand will not increase heat output
but may seriously impair the stoves performance by generating considerable smoke. Do not burn wet pellets. The stove’s
performance depends heavily on the quality of your pellet fuel.
Avoid pellet brands that display these characteristics:
Excess Fines.
“Fines” is a term describing crushed pellets or loose material that looks like sawdust or sand. Pellets can be screened
before being placed in the hopper to remove most fines.
Binders.
Some pellets are produced with materials to hold them together, or “bind” them.
High Ash Content.
Poor quality pellets will often create smoke and dirty glass. They will create a need for more frequent
maintenance. You will have to empty the burnpot and vacuum the entire system more often. Poor quality pellets could damage
the auger. BOSCA cannot accept responsibility for damage due to poor quality pellets. Your dealer can recommend a good
quality pellet brand in your area.
Proper Fuel Storage:
Keep fuel raised off the floor and in a covered area to avoid moisture and water contact.
