OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Control Board Functions
AUTO/T-STAT/Manual Switch:
This switch selects the pellet stove operating mode.
Slide the switch to Manual (the far right position) to be able to manually select the heat
settings and controls.
If you have a remote thermostat attached and wish to have the pellet stove controlled by
the thermostat slide the switch to T-STAT (the middle position) to operate the pellet
stove in variable heat mode. The thermostat will control the heat output of the pellet
stove alternating between the lowest heat level and the highest heat level pre-selected by
the user.
The AUTO setting (far left position) is similar to the T-STAT setting except that the
stove will alternate between shutdown (stove turned completely off) and restart to the
user selected heat level, when commanded by the thermostat. When using a thermostat
the T-STAT position is recommended. This setting provides a more even heat output, for
better comfort, and will extend the life of the ignition system components. In addition
the constant flame, in the stove, will serve as a warning for people and pets to keep away
from the stove while in operation.
After switching between modes the stove should be turned Off and back On to reset the
control to operate in that mode.
On/Off Button:
This button is used to turn the unit on and off. If the stove is cold prior
to start-up press and release the On/Off button. The green light above the On/Off switch
will flash to indicate start up cycle has started. Fuel pellets will start to feed into the burn
pot. The electric ignition system will be automatically activated, flames in the burn pot
will normally appear between 3 - 7 minutes. Once the flame has been established, the
start up cycle will end, this takes between 10 -15 minutes. At this point the user will be
able to make heat level adjustments.
If the stove is warm at restart the On/Off button must be pressed down and held for 2
seconds, or more, until the minimum heat level setting light is lit.
Heat Level:
When pressed this increases the heat level setting one level. Pressing the
button will cycle the heat setting from minimum to maximum and back again. The
convection fan speed will also increase with the heat level setting. When the light is
flashing during the start up cycle the heat level button will not respond to the
adjustments. When the light is solid, indicating the start up cycle is finished, it will then
respond (only in manual mode).
Fan:
Use this button to override the automatic fan speed control to turn the convection
fan on high. The smart control on this pellet stove will vary the fan speed in accordance
with the heat level setting. It is recommended to let the controller automatically adjust
the speed of the fan for optimum efficiency and minimal fan noise.
Auger:
Pressing and holding this button will turn on the auger to speed feeding of pellets
into the burn pot, when first using the pellet stove or when you completely empty the
hopper of pellets and restarting after reloading the hopper. You can load the auger faster
by pressing and holding this button (until you see pellets dropping into the burn pot).
This button will turn off after 1 minute and must be released and pressed again if you
want to continue to manually operate the auger.
