REFUELLING
CAUTION:
• THE HOPPER AND STOVE TOP WILL BE HOT DURING
OPERATION; THEREFORE, YOU SHOULD ALWAYS USE
SOME TYPE OF HAND PROTECTION WHEN REFUELING
YOUR STOVE.
• DO NOT TOUCH THE HOT SURFACES OF THE STOVE.
EDUCATE ALL CHILDREN ON THE DANGERS OF A
HIGH-TEMPERATURE STOVE. YOUNG CHILDREN
SHOULD BE SUPERVISED WHEN THEY ARE IN THE
SAME ROOM AS THE STOVE.
• NEVER PLACE YOUR HAND NEAR THE AUGER WHILE
THE STOVE IS IN OPERATION.
• WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU NOT LET THE HOPPER
DROP BELOW 1/4 FULL.
WARNING:
• KEEP HOPPER LID CLOSED AT ALL TIMES EXCEPT
WHEN REFILLING.
• DO NOT OVERFILL HOPPER.
TAMPER WARNING
This wood heater has a manufacturer-set minimum low burn
rate that must not be altered. It is against federal regulations
to alter this setting or otherwise operate this wood heater
in a manner inconsistent with operating instructions in this
manual.
SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE
WARNING:
NEVER SHUT DOWN THIS UNIT BY UNPLUGGING IT
FROM THE POWER SOURCE.
Turning your stove off is a matter of pressing the “POWER”
button on the display board. The green light will turn back to
red when the “POWER” button is pushed. The auger motor
will stop, and the blowers will continue to operate until the
internal firebox temperatures have fallen to a preset level.
1. Your stove is equipped with a high temperature
thermodisc. This unit has a manual reset thermodisc.
This safety switch has two functions.
A. To recognize an overheat situation in the stove and shut
down the fuel feed or auger system.
B. In case of a malfunctioning convection blower, the high-
temperature thermodisc will automatically shut down
the auger, preventing the stove from overheating.
NOTE: On some units, once tripped, like a circuit breaker,
the reset button will have to be pushed before restarting your
stove. On other units the thermodisc has no reset button and
will reset itself once the stove has cooled. The manufacturer
recommends that you call your dealer if this occurs as this
may indicate a more serious problem. A service call may
be required.
2. If the combustion blower fails, an air pressure switch
will automatically shut down the auger.
NOTE: Opening the stove door for more than 30 seconds
during operation will cause enough pressure change to
activate the air switch, shutting the fuel feed off. The stove
will shut down and show “E2” on the two digit display. The
stove has to fully shut down before restarting.
MAINTENANCE TOOL
A tool has been provided to help with the following functions:
• Stirring pellets in hopper – unlike liquids in a tank, pellets
do not drain evenly into the auger. Bridging across the
opening can occur. Pellets can hang up on the sides of
the hopper. Occasionally “stirring” the hopper can help.
NOTE: To help prevent bridging of pellets, common wax
paper can be rubbed on the side walls and bottom of the
hopper.
• Cleaning heat exchanger tubes.
• Scrape ashes from burnpot.
INTERIOR CHAMBERS
•
Burn Pot -
Periodically remove and clean the burn pot and
the area inside the burn pot housing. In particular, it is
advisable to clean out the holes in the burn pot to remove
any build up that may prevent air from moving through
the burn pot freely.
•
Heat Exchange Tubes –
Your stove is designed with a
built-in heat exchange tube cleaner. This should be used
every two or three days to remove accumulated ash on
the tubes, which reduces heat transfer on this unit. Insert
the handle end (with hole) of the cleaning tool onto the
cleaning rod. The cleaner rod is located in the grill above
the stove door. Move the cleaner rod back and forth
several times to clean the heat exchanger tubes. Be sure
to leave tube cleaner at the rear of the stove.
