Starting First Fire
Igniter Switch to "AuTO" (up position)
Make sure the unit is plugged into a properly
grounded, 120 VAC, 60 Hz electrical source. The
power light should be the only light lit.
Note: be sure there is no fuel or other
combustibles in the ash pan prior to lighting.
1. Turn Mode Selector to "OFF".
2. Fill hopper with pellets.

3. Clean burn pot with scraper, if necessary.

4.
If starting after an empty hopper, turn Feed
Adjuster to "TEST" (for one 60 second cycle).
2
This
will flow pellets into the auger tube and also allow
you to check the motors for operation.
NOTE: The
auger motor will not operate with the view door
or hopper lid open.

5. Turn Feed Adjuster to #4.
4
6. Flip the Igniter Switch up into the "AUTO"
position.
7. Turn the Temperature Dial to the desired room
temperature.
8. Turn Mode Selector to Room Temperature or
Stove Temperature.
9. Fill hopper with pellets and remove ashes as
required.
6
Keep the hopper lid and firebox doors closed while
in operation. Maintain door seals in good condition.
Failure to do so will affect operation of the appliance
and may permit escape of smoke or gases into the
living space.
Automatic Start up
1. Fines are small pieces of broken pellets (sawdust). Fines do
not flow easily and often build up on the hopper funnel bottom
angles. These fines can be pushed into the feeder opening and
then fill the hopper with pellets. As the system works, they will
be burned.
2. The "TEST" cycle will operate the feed motor for exactly one
minute. Turning to "TEST" again and again may load too much
fuel into the burn pot causing excessive smoke on start-up.
3. The firebox low pressure switch will not allow the auger motor
or the igniter element to operate if the view door is open.
4. Adjust Feed Rate. If this is your first fire or you are trying
different pellets, set the feed adjuster to #4, Fig. 1. This is a
conservative number and will probably need to be increased.
After you know a feed rate setting that works well, use that
setting. Remember, if your feed rate is too high you may waste
fuel.
5. This is usually a weekly maintenance procedure. Cleaning
the burn pot with the scraper with a small amount of new fuel
in the bottom is not a problem. First, scrape the ashes off the
front of the burn pot into the ash pan. Then scrape the holed
surface downward into the burn pot. When the stove feeds, these
scrapings will be pushed out by the feeder.
6. The ash pan can hold the ashes from approximately 1 ton of
premium fuel. This means the ashes will only need to be emptied
a few times a year.
7. Setting the feed adjuster # for maximum burn: With the unit
burning in "AUTO", turn to "Stove Mode" and put the fan on
"H". Set the Temperature Dial to #7. Allow the unit to burn for
about 30 minutes and check ash on front of burn pot. Fig. 2.
If the ash line is larger than 1", turn the feed adjuster from #4
to #5. Allow another 30 minutes of burn time and check again.
If, at #6 setting, a 1" or less ash bed is not obtainable, it is not
a problem. The 1" ash bed is only at maximum burn rate and
during normal operation, the ash bed will be larger.
See Note 7.
