F. Before Your First Fire
1.
First, make sure your appliance has been properly
installed and that all safety requirements have been
met. Pay particular attention to the fire protection,
venting and thermostat installation instructions.
2.
Double check that the ash drawer and firebox
are empty!
3. Check that cleaning rod is in the fully closed position.
4. Close and latch the door.
Performance
• Higher ash content requires the ash drawer to be
emptied more frequently
• Hardwoods require more air to burn properly
•
Set wall control to “Utility Pellet” if the firepot and ash
pan are filling quickly. This will cause the auto-clean
system to empty the firepot more often.
•
Premium wood pellets produce the highest heat output.
• Burning pellets longer than 1-1/2 inches (38mm)
can cause an inconsistent fuel feed rate and/or
missed ignitions.
We recommend that you buy fuel in multi-ton lots whenever
possible. However, we do recommend trying various
brands before purchasing multi-ton lots to ensure your
satisfaction.
Changing to Different Fuel Type
• Empty the hopper of the previous fuel
•
Thoroughly vacuum hopper before filling with the
new fuel
•
Select the appropriate setting on the FUEL
SELECTION screen on the thermostat wall control
The burn rate, BTU content and heat output will all vary
depending on the fuel selected.
Storage
• Wood pellets should be left in their original sealed bag
until using to prevent moisture absorption.
• This will also prevent rodents from becoming
a problem.
• Do not store any pellet fuel within the clearance
requirements or in an area that would hinder routine
cleaning and maintenance.
Tested and approved for wood pellets. Burning of any
other type of fuel voids your warranty.
CAUTION
E. General Operating Information
1. Thermostat Calls For Heat
The appliance is like most modern furnaces; when the
thermostat calls for heat, your appliance will automatically
light and deliver heat. When the room is up to temperature
and the thermostat is satisfied, the red call light will shut
off and the appliance will shut down. The red call light is
located behind the left access panel.
2. Heat Output Controls
This appliance is equipped with a heat output control switch
that has three settings or burn rates; low, medium and high
(Figure 10.1)
. The appliance will turn on and off as the
thermostat demands. When the thermostat calls for heat,
the appliance will always start up on High. After burning
approximately 4 minutes, the appliance will then burn at the
rate at which it was originally set. If the appliance is set at
one of the lower settings, it will run quieter but takes longer
to heat up an area than if it were set at a higher burn rate.
Regardless of the burn rate, when the area is warm enough
to satisfy the thermostat, the appliance will shut off.
HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. KEEP CHILDREN,
CLOTHING AND FURNITURE AWAY. CONTACT MAY
CAUSE SKIN BURNS.
CAUTION
CAUTION
Tip of thermocouple must be in contact with the inside
end of the thermocouple cover.
Missed ignitions can occur.
