• A tall, lazy flame with dark orange tips requires more air – Open slider
(pull out) slightly.
• A short, brisk flame, like a blowtorch, has too much air – Close slider
(push in) slightly.
• If the flame is in the middle of these two characteristics with a bright
yellow/orange, active flame with no black tips then the air is set for
proper operation, refer to Figure 7.
The combustion exhaust blower is a variable speed blower controlled by
the heat output button. This blower will decrease the vacuum pressure
inside the stove, adjusting the air to fuel ratio.
SPECIAL NOTES:
Fuel quality is a major factor in how the stove will operate. If the fuel has a
high moisture content or ash content the fire will be less efficient and has
a higher possibility of the fire building up and creating clinkers (hard ash
build-up).

•
MANUAL and HI / LOW mode: To turn the unit OFF, simply press the ON / OFF button. This will stop
the feed of pellets. The blowers will continue to operate and cool the stove down. When cool enough,
the stove will turn off.
•
AUTO / OFF mode: To turn the unit OFF, turn the Thermostat down or Timer off.
•
Upon shut-down the burn pot agitator will run continually for two (2) minutes when on Pellet Fuel Type
and fifteen (15) minutes when on Multi-fuel Fuel Type.
DO NOT turn unit off during start-up or unplug unit while operating; this may lead
to smoke escaping from the stove.

Operating Instructions
Figure 6: Slider/Damper Plate in Unit.
If the fire should happen to go out and the heat
output indicator has been set on the lowest
setting, the Slider Damper should be pushed in
slightly, decreasing the air in the firebox.
If, after long periods of burning, the fire builds up
and overflows the burn pot or there is a build up of
clinkers, this would be a sign that the fuel quality
is poor, this requires more primary air, the slider
damper must be pulled out to compensate. Pulling
the slider damper out gives the fire more air.
The easiest way to make sure that an efficient flame
is achieved is to understand the characteristics of
the fire.

THIS UNIT IS DESIGNED TO OPERATE WITH AN INTERNAL
FIREBOX VACUUM OF 0.15"-0.17" WC (MEASURED WHEN
UNIT IS HOT; AND RUNNING ON HIGH)
