manual Start up
Starting First Fire
Igniter Switch to "mANuAl" (up position)
Make sure the unit is plugged into a 120 VAC,
60 HZ electrical source. The power light should be
the only light lit.
ImPOrTANT:
To avoid unwanted smoke, Be sure
there is no fuel or other combustibles in the ash
pan prior to lighting.
Keep all doors closed during operation. Maintain
all seals and gaskets in good condition.
1. Turn FEEd AdjuSTEr to the desired feed
rate
. No. 4 is good for most pellets.

2. Turn the mOdE SElECTOr to “OFF” and then
to the desired mode.
This will reset the control
and start the combustion motor.
3. Turn the TEmPErATurE dIAl to the desired
setting.
4. Clean the burn pot with the scraper, if neces-
sary.

5. Fill the burn pot with pellets, only level with
front edge.
(Do Not Over Fill).
6. Add starting gel on top of the pellets.
Stir the
gel into pellets for faster lighting.
7. light the starting gel with a match, and close
the door.
Operation will begin when the fire
reaches the proper temperature.

8. Fill the hopper with pellets and remove ashes
as required.

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 feeder motor for exactly one
minute. Turning to "TEST" again and again may feed 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 or the ash pan
door are open.
4. Adjust Feed Rate. If this is your first fire or you are trying different
pellets, set the feed adjuster to #4, Fig. 7. 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 on the front of the
burn pot into the ash pan. Then scrape the holed surface downward
into the burn pot. When the stove is ignited 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. 9. 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 a maximum burn rate and at most normal settings the ash
bed will be larger.
