IT IS CRITICAL FOR THE CORRECT OPERATION OF YOUR STOVE THAT THE BURN 

GRATE, AIR INLET DAMPER, COMBUSTION FAN SPEED, AND  

1 & 4 FUEL RATE BE SET CORRECTLY!  

 

HIGH QUALITY FIRE

 should burn with a brisk, yellow flame.  A flame exhibiting a lazy, orange or sooty 

characteristic is a poor quality and inefficient flame.  A poor flame produces less heat, increases sooting and may 
cause a smoky exhaust.  If a poor flame exists for any period of time, clean your stove and exhaust system.  

 

Note: if log option is purchased, do not install until initial setup is complete

,

  

let stove run for approx. 10 minutes before turning the stove to the # 4 setting (or High), to 
begin to make fine adjustments

.  AUGER CYCLE indicator

 should be lit “ON” for 3 seconds 

and  “OFF” for 3-5 seconds. Adjust the

 AIR INLET DAMPER

. This will have to be set, as the 

factory sends all units out with the damper wide open to accommodate a wide range of 
installations and elevations. 

 

 

AIR INLET DAMPER

:   

Slide open or close 

damper as needed to obtain a fire that is brisk 
enough to carry ash out of the grate, but not so 
brisk that it carries pellets out as well (known as 
“Pop corning”). Normally you should find that the 
damper will need to be closed two-thirds to three 
quarters, but will vary with length of vent run, pellet 
quality and elevation. The best way to set this is at 
the 

FUEL SETTING

 

#4.

  

 
 

When you are pleased with the burn and how the appliance is operating,  you 
are now ready to set the board up at LOW setting.   

 
 

Set 

FUEL RATE

 to 

#1 or LOW setting

.  

Again let this burn for 

approx. 10 minutes before making any adjustments. The AUGER 
CYCLE indicator should be “OFF” for approx 9 – 14 seconds 
between auger turnings (light ON). If “Pop corning” is taking place 
at this setting adjust the

 

COMBUSTION FAN SPEED.

 

 

 

COMBUSTION FAN SPEED (Draft):

 In a few instances 

because of prevailing conditions pertinent to your specific 
installation, or even different batches of pellet fuel, the 

COMBUSTION FAN SPEED

 may be adjusted to increase or 

decrease the amount of air moving through the grate for the 
cleanest burn. Fan speed can be adjusted by adjusting the 

FAN

 

trim pod 

COUNTER CLOCKWISE to INCREASE 

the speed and 

CLOCKWISE to DECREASE

 the speed of the combustion fan.   

 

FUEL RATE

:

 Fuel rate at the Lowest (number 1) and highest (number 4) settings can be 

changed by adjusting the 

#1 or #4 TRIM PODS 

located on the control panel.  To 

INCREASE

 fuel rate turn trimmer 

COUNTER CLOCKWISE

 and to 

LOWER

 turn 

CLOCKWISE

. To assist in knowing what changes you made, you 

should note the amount of time the light on the 

AUGER CYCLE

 stays “OFF”. 

(Note: The light stays “off” when ever 

the fuel feed motor is not running).

 

Lengthening the time this light stays “OFF” lowers the fuel feed and 

shortening the “OFF” time increases the fuel feed

Factory Setting #1 light “OFF” is approx. 9-11 seconds, 

#4 light “OFF” is 3-4 seconds.
