Operating Instructions
B. Fire Characteristics
A properly adjusted fire has a medium active flame pattern
that extends out of the burn pot approximately 6 inches
(152mm).
C. Feed Rate Adjustment Instructions
The feed adjustment control is factory set at #4, and should
be adequate for most fuels.
However, if the flame height is too high or too low, you will
need to adjust the feed rate. Wait until the appliance has been
burning for 15 minutes before making your adjustments and
allow 15 minutes for feed adjustment to take effect.
A. Starting Your First Fire
1. The wall control is required for proper operation of this
appliance in “Automatic” mode. At this time, fill the hopper
with pellets, insure the control is set to “OFF”. Figure 4.1.
Plug the power cord into a properly grounded, nearby
outlet.
2. Once power is present, the unit it will run through a quick
diagnostics test to insure the control is operating properly.
This is normal.
3. For your first fire it may be necessary to purge the auger
system by putting the feed adjuster knob to “Test” prior
to starting the unit. Figure 4.2. This insures that plenty of
fuel enters the burn pot for proper ignition.
