OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
(Using self igniter systems, if auto ignition system (optional) has been installed)
NOTE: Each time the stove is started, the firepot must be checked for debris and clear air holes. Some fuels will cause
the firepot to build up more frequently making it necessary to stir and clean the firepot more often. Do not allow ash to
build up underneath the firepot area or in the ash pan as it will block off the air flow to the firepot.
Your control panel has three (3) separate modes of operation (switch located on top of board). The MANUAL setting allows
the operator to choose heat level setting changes without a thermostat. The T-STAT setting allows the operator to set the
highest heat level setting desired and when the thermostat is satisfied, the unit will automatically go to the low heat level
setting. The AUTO setting allows the unit to shut completely off when the thermostat is satisfied and re-start when the
thermostat calls for heat. The AUTO setting can only be used with
wood pellets or a 50/50 mix of corn and wood pellets.
Before lighting your MagnuM for the first time make sure that all items are out of the hopper and firebox area. Note: If using a
wall thermostat, make sure that the thermostat is turned up above room temperature. The unit will operate on low fire if the
thermostat is turned down.
9 Load the hopper with fuel (Corn or Wood Pellets).
9 Close the door
9 Push the “On/Off” button.
9 Turn the air intake butterfly damper to approximately ¼ inch open. (More
or less as needed.)
NOTE: Priming the auger is required when the unit is new or when the hopper
has completely run out of fuel. This can be done approximately 1 minute after
pushing the on/off start button. Press and hold the “auger” button until fuel
begins to drop into the firepot. When fuel begins to drop regularly, release
auger button, the auger is primed.
NOTE: The viewing door, ash pan door and hopper door must be closed and/or
latched during operation or vacuum will not be established. If vacuum can not
be established the stove will shut down and the #2 heat level setting light will
blink. The ON/OFF button must be held for app. 6 seconds to reset.
The unit starts automatically on a pre-set heat level setting. After the unit has
been turned on, and the 1 minute diagnostics has run, you may select a desired
heat level. However, the heat level feed rate will not change until the unit has
completed the 15 minute startup sequence. It is recommended to burn the unit
on the number #2 or #3 heat level setting for the first 30-45 minutes.
If the fire temperature has not reached proper operating temperature within the
minimum cycle time (15 min.) the auger will stop feeding, the stove will shut
down and the #3 heat level setting light will blink. You will need to press and
hold the ON/OFF button for 6 seconds to start the cycle over again. If the
system is set on auto start it will attempt two startups on its own.
The draft and room air blower speed varies with each feed rate. The “Draft
Trim” button will override the variable fan fu/- 5 volts on all heat
levels. To override, press and hold the “Draft Trim” button along with the heat level button arrow up or heat level button
arrow down, depending on desired change.
The auger feed rate on each setting is pre-programmed but may be changed if necessary. The “Auger Trim” button will
override the programmed feed rates by +/-5% on all heat levels. To override the feed rate press and hold the ‘Auger Trim’
button along with the heat level button arrow up or heat level button arrow down, depending on desired change.
NOTE: In case of a power outage or interruption lasting longer than 5 seconds, the “On/Off” button must be pushed
and held for app. 6 seconds to re-engage the auger. If needed re-light the unit.
