oPerating stove
Once the stove has been properly installed and plugged
into a grounded surge protector you are ready to begin
operation.
start uP Procedure
Turn on the main power switch located on the back of the
stove.
see figure 10.
Make sure the hopper is clean and free of foreign matter
including pellet fines and dust.
Fill the hopper with wood pellets, making sure that NO
parts of the bag or any foreign objects enter the hopper
as this may cause harm to the auger feed system.
see
figure 11
Also take care in making sure there is no pellet material in
the hopper lid seating surfaces.
Close the lid. This stove has a safety switch that will not
allow pellets to feed with the hopper door open.
Make sure the main glass door is closed. The stove has
a safety switch that will not allow the stove to feed fuel
unless there is negative draft pressure inside the stove.
Press the button on the control pad to start stove
operation. see figure 12 & 13.
Note: when starting the unit for the first time or
after the hopper has run out of fuel, the auger will
not be primed with pellets. This may cause the
automatic ignition to time out and the unit will
shut down. pressing the button on the control
pad again will restart the startup sequence and
the stove should start properly.
Once a consistent flame has been established, you can
adjust the heat range to your desired setting, low, medium
or high. This is done by pressing the <-> button on the
control pad. Indicator lights on the control pad will display
the heat setting.
The room air distribution blower will not operate until the
stove has reached the factory preset temperature.
Note: first fire: adjust the heat setting to medium
and allow the stove to operate this way for three
hours or more, allowing the stove to cure as
residual paint and oils from the manufacturing
process will burn off. we recommend that you
open doors and windows in your home during this
process.
