OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

 

 
To Start up a Hot Stove

 

If the stove is warm at re-start, the On/Off button must be pressed down and held for 2 
seconds or more until the Heat Level light is lit.   
 
 
When first starting a new pellet stove, or when you completely empty the hopper of 
pellets, you can press and hold the AUGER button to get the pellets into the burn pot 
quicker.  See AUGER button description on page 10. 
 
The convection air flow will change in accordance with the heat setting.  Convection air 
flow is at maximum when the heat setting is at maximum.  Air flow will be at a minimum 
when the heat setting is at a minimum.  If the user wishes to turn the convection fan on 
maximum, at any heat setting, they may do so by pressing the FAN button. 
 
If the flame goes out, use the AUGER TRIM button to make adjustments.  See the 
AUGER TRIM button description on page 11. 

 
To Shutdown Stove

 

 
Turn off the unit by pressing the On/Off button.  The stove will enter the shutdown cycle 
where the pellets will stop feeding to allow the fuel in the burn pot to be used up.  The 
exhaust blower and convection fan will continue to operate until the flames are out and 
the unit has cooled down.  Once this has been accomplished the stove will shut down 
completely. 
 
In the T-STAT mode turning the thermostat all the way down can also be used to turn off 
the stove. 
 

DO NOT TURN OFF THE UNIT BY DISCONNECTING THE ELECTRICAL 
POWER TO THE UNIT.  THIS WILL CAUSE THE UNIT TO MISS THE 
PROPER SHUTDOWN CYCLE, CAUSING THE RELEASE OF SMOKE INTO 
THE HOUSE AND OVERHEATING OF THE STOVE.
