UNCTIONS

:

1.  AUGER TRIM:

 Used to change feed rates on LOW ONLY for poorer quality fuels. Push the Auger 

Trim button until the number 1 and 5 lights appear on the Heat Level Indicator.  This will increase the 

feed rate to 4 seconds ON time Auger pulse.  This is done only on LOW to allow the burning of poor 

quality fuels.  Push the button until the number 1 and 4 lights appear, this will reduce the Auger On 

time to 2 second.  This setting is for high-grade fuel only.  Push the button until just the number 1 

light is on, this is for a three (3) second on time (standard setting).

2.  CONVECTION BLOWER CONTROL:

 Used to turn the convection blower ON/OFF.  If the Blower 

is left off, and the sensor located on the air jacket reaches 160 °F (71 °C), the Convection blower 

will  automatically  come  on  HI  speed  to  cool  the  unit.  Leave  the  convection  blower  ON  for  peak 

efficiency

3.  AUGER PULSE LIGHT:

 This light will flash in conjunction with the auger.

automatic  start  mode.  When  the  light  is  solid, 

the Heat Level Setting can be altered.

6.  ON/OFF  BUTTON:

  Used  to  turn  the  unit  ON 

and OFF.

7.  HEAT  OUTPUT  INDICATOR:

  Shows  the
