H. Fire Characteristics
A properly adjusted fire with the heat output control button
set on “HIGH” has a short active flame pattern that extends
out of the firepot approximately 102mm.
If the fire has tall flames with black tails and seems somewhat
lazy, the feed rate will need to be reduced.
If the fire is not 102mm tall, increase the feed rate. A medium
and low setting will give a shorter flame. The flame will rise
and fall somewhat. This is normal.
The feed adjustment control rod is factory set, and should be
adequate for most fuels. The control rod will slide by only
loosening the wing screw.
However, if the flame height is too high or too low, you will
need to adjust the feed rate. Wait until the appliance has been
burning for 15 minutes before making your adjustments and
allow 15 minutes for feed adjustment to take effect. Make
adjustments in approximately 12.7mm increments.
1. Loosen the wing screw.
Figure 10.2
2. Adjust the fuel adjustment control rod towards to the right
and up to increase the feed rate and flame height or to
the left and down to decrease the feed rate and flame
height.
3. Re-tighten the wing screw.

G. Starting Your First Fire
1. A thermostat is required for proper operation of this
appliance. At this time, fill the hopper with pellets, set
the thermostat to its lowest setting. Plug the power cord
into nearby outlet.
2. The exhaust blower will stay on for approximately 18
minutes even though the thermostat is not calling for
heat. This is normal.
3. Locate the heat output control switch on the lower right
side of the firebox behind decorative front door. Set to the
HIGH setting and then adjust the thermostat to its highest
setting. The red call light will be on which is located on
the top of the junction box behind the right access panel.
This indicates the thermostat is calling for heat.
Figure
10.1.
4. The fuel feed system and the igniter should now be on.
5. For your first fire it will be necessary to press the reset
button once per minute until pellets start to drop into the
firepot, then press button 1 more time. This will fill the
feed system and allow the appliance to begin dropping
pellets. The appliance will continue to run as long as the
thermostat is calling for heat.
6. Once the appliance has ignited, let it burn for approximately
15 minutes, then set the thermostat to the desired room
temperature. Adjust the heat output control switch to the
desired setting.
