throughout the manual.

Ordering a second Burn Pot Liner from your Distributor is also helpful if you burn your pellet fire for extended periods. 
 
Clean Burn Pot Liner with a metal scraper, a wire brush or a small pointed object if necessary. Refer to item 2 in Daily 
Maintenance on page 27

 

for additional information.   

 
Note: Once you have determined the correct Air Damper Rod settings for the pellet fuel being used, heat setting and 
installation conditions, the Air Damper Rod will only need occasional adjustment. Remember that any change of 
operating conditions and fuel, will require adjustment of the Air Damper Rod. Poor quality fuel will require that the Air 
Damper Rod is kept out more than usual.

 

SETTING THE TIME AND USING THE CONTROL SWITCHES 

Parkwood Pellet Fires are fitted with a One Shot Timer that enables the Fire to turn on or off at pre set times. The 
Timer must be reset each time you want the Fire to turn on or off. This one shot feature ensures the Fire does not 
operate when not intended and it enables the Burn Pot Liner to be cleaned before use. This ensures proper automatic 
ignition during timer operations.  
 
The Heat Setting Switches are only enabled in specific circumstances. This is to avoid inadvertent changes to the 
owner’s preferred setting. The Heat Setting is only displayed when the Fire is operating or a change is being made. 
 

1.  The Heat Setting will default to Heat Setting 1 if it has not been set. 

2. 

The Heat Setting may be changed any time after the fire has been started. 

The new setting will be 

automatically retained as the default Heat Setting for subsequent starts unless it is reset. 

3.  The Heat Setting may be changed during 

a period of one minute immediately after the “ON TIME” has been 

set.  

SETTING THE TIME 

1. 

The clock uses 24-hour notation. The time will be displayed at all times unless there is no power to the Fire or 
during programming.  

 
2. 

The TIME SET switch must be pressed while setting the Hours and Minutes.   

 
3. 

To set the time, press the TIME SET switch on the Control Panel, at the same time press the ON/HR switch to 
set  the  hours  using  the  HEAT/TIME  Arrows  then  use  the  OFF/MIN  switch  to  set  the  minutes  using  the 
HEAT/TIME Arrows.  

SETTING THE ON TIME 

1. 

Press the “ON/HR” switch, at the same time toggle the “HEAT/TIME” arrows up or down to set the ON time in 
15 minute increments.   

 
2. 

After programming the “ON/HR” time the Clock Icon on the control panel will flash green. Once the “ON” time 
has activated the Clock Icon will stop flashing. Press the “ON” switch at any time after programming to confirm 
the ON time. 

 
3. 

To cancel an ON time; press the “ON” switch and the “ON/OFF” switch at the same time. The Clock Icon will 
turn off to indicate that the timer is no longer set 

 
4. 

Select the Heat Setting that you want the fire to automatically start on by using the Heat up and down switches. 
You have 1-minute to select the Heat Setting after setting the on time. After fifteen seconds the display will go 
blank but the setting will be saved and will become active after the ON time is reached. Repeat this entire 
process if you wish to change the ON time.  

 

Note:

 To prevent the consequences of the damper not being set correctly at higher heat settings, the fire will not 

automatically start on heat settings 4 or 5, even if these settings have been selected. The Heat Setting will 
default back to setting 3 if Heat Settings 4 or 5 have been selected or if no heat setting has been selected. If a 
Heat Setting has been pre-selected the fire will continue to default to that setting until changed.  

SETTING THE OFF TIME 

1. 

Press the “OFF/MIN” switch, at the same time toggle the “HEAT/TIME” arrows up or down to set the OFF time 
in 15-minute increments.
