G. General Operating Information
1. Thermostat Calls For Heat
The appliance is like most modern furnaces; when the
thermostat calls for heat, your appliance will
automatically
light and deliver heat. When the room is up to temperature
and the thermostat is satisfied, the red call light will go off
and the appliance will shut down.
2. Heat Output Controls
This appliance is equipped with a heat output control switch
that has three settings or burn rates; low, medium and
high. The appliance will turn on and off as the thermostat
demands. When the thermostat calls for heat, the
appliance will start up at the burn rate for which it is set. If
the appliance is set at one of the lower settings, it will run
quieter but take longer to heat up an area than if it were set
at a higher burn rate. Regardless of the burn rate, when
the area is warm enough to satisfy the thermostat, the
appliance will shut off.
Tested and approved for wood pellets and shelled corn.
Burning of any other type of fuel voids your warranty.

E. Before Your First Fire
1. First, make sure your appliance has been properly
installed and that all safety requirements have been
met. Pay particular attention to the fire protection,
venting and thermostat installation instructions.
2.
Double check that the ash drawer and firebox are
empty!
3. Close the front door.
IMPORTANT DETAIL: The tip of the thermocouple must
be in contact with the inside end of the thermocouple
cover or missed ignitions can occur.

Size
•
Pellets are either 1/4 inch or 5/16 inch (6-8mm) in
diameter
•
Length should be no more that 1-1/2 inches (38mm)
• Pellet lengths can vary from lot to lot from the same
manufacturer
•
Due to length variations, the flame height (feed rate)
may need adjusting occasionally.
Performance
• Higher ash content requires the ash drawer to be
emptied more frequently
• Hardwoods require more air to burn properly
• Premium wood pellets produce the highest heat output.
•
Burning pellets longer than 1-1/2 inches (38mm) can
cause an inconsistent fuel feed rate and/or missed
ignitions.
Changing to Different Fuel Type
• Empty the hopper of the previous fuel
•
Thoroughly vacuum hopper before filling with the new
fuel
The burn rate, BTU content and heat output will all vary
depending on the fuel selected.
Storage
• Wood pellets should be left in their original sealed bag
until using to prevent moisture absorption.
Do not store any pellet fuel within the clearance
requirements or in an area that would hinder routine
cleaning and maintenance.
F. Filling the Hopper
Open the hopper lid by lifting the handle. Fill the hopper
with fuel. Close the hopper lid. The unit will not feed with
the hopper lid open and the fire will go out.
