E. Firepot Burn Down
A feature of these pellet appliances is the firepot burn down
cycle. The frequency of the cycle is once every hour the
appliance is burning. During this event, the feed is reduced
to the lowest setting and the exhaust blower ramps up to
the highest setting. The purpose of the burn down cycle
is to help remove debris from the firepot and help the
appliance burn as efficient as possible. The cycle lasts 99
seconds. Please be aware that the burn down does not
replace daily cleaning activities but makes them easier.
F. Shutdown
To shut the appliance down, turn the dial control counter
clockwise to the OFF position. During the shutdown
process, the LED will flash amber or green rapidly just like
the ignition sequence. The firepot burn down cycle will
begin but without the feed motor running. The feed will be
terminated during this shutdown process. The exhaust and
convection blowers will remain on during the shutdown
process until the exhaust has cooled.
If maintenance or daily cleaning is going to be conducted
immediately following a shutdown, please use caution as
components especially those inside the firebox may still
be hot.
Please note that if the dial control is turned to the off
position and back on even if by mistake, the appliance
will go through the shutdown sequence.
Return the firepot to the appliance in the correct orientation.
See figure in Cleaning Fire pot in the General Maintenance
section of Owner’s Manual under Maintaining and Servicing
the Appliance.
Attempt relighting sequence (see Lighting
Instructions Guide).

This is the
position for the
dial control
when starting
the prime
feature.
The feed tube may need to be primed only if the hopper
is being filled for the first time or if the appliance has run
out of pellets. To prime the appliance, turn the dial control
QUICKLY from the OFF position to the HI position, to OFF
to HI in one fluid motion. The LED light will be a solid green
color to indicate a successful prime function. When the
feed motor is running continuously, the LED light will be a
solid green color. When pellets start to drop into the firepot,
the feed tube is primed. Turn the dial control to the desired
position and the appliance will begin its ignition sequence
with a blinking green light. Allow the appliance up to 20
minutes for ignition to occur.
When attempting Prime function it is NECESSARY
to operate the dial control QUICKLY in a single fluid
motion. If this is not performed properly, the appliance will
not prime.
STOP!
Please Read Prior to Attempting Prime
Function
A FIREPOT THAT IS MORE THAN HALF FULL IS
OVERFILLED AND CAN BE DANGEROUS. DO NOT
OVERFILL FIREPOT FOR IGNITION.
Overfilling the firepot could cause an unsafe ignition
resulting in injury or damage. Firepot must be emptied.
WARNING
CAUTION
Do not restart or manually add pellets or any type of fuel to
the burn pot during this process.
G. Starting Your First Fire
1. Turn the dial control to “OFF”.
2. Make sure the firepot is clean, in place, and free
of debris.
3. Plug the appliance into the wall and fill the hopper
with wood pellets. Shut the hopper lid.
4. Turn the dial control to the desired burn setting.
The appliance will go into the ignition sequence followed
by start up (The green LED will flash rapidly). The ignition
sequence involves the exhaust blower turning on, the
igniter turning on, and the feed motor running in two
stages. The first stage involves the feed motor running
continuously for about a minute to preload pellets into the
firepot. Following the preload and a delay, the feed motor
will begin cycling on and off. When the pellets are warming
up and on the verge of igniting, it is not uncommon for the
firebox to fill with smoke. Once ignition actually happens,
the smoke should evacuate quickly. During this stage
as well as any part during the burn process, the front
door should not be opened. This cycle continues until
the appliance senses ignition by a rise in the exhaust
temperature or the appliance times out. Following the
ignition cycle the appliance begins to feed additional
pellets gradually for a few minutes to build up the fire.
This is important to have a controlled start up to keep the
appliance in balance.
If the appliance does not ignite, the LED light will blink
red four times showing a missed ignition alarm. Turn the
appliance to off and remove and EMPTY the firepot.
