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
(Figure 10.1)
.
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 on the high setting for the first
4 minutes and 15 seconds, then automatically switch to
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.
3.
Fan Speed Switch
This switch will adjust the speed of the room distribution
air fan or convection blower on all three settings. This
means you have six different blower speeds available as
there is a high and low on each setting.
5. For your first fire it will be necessary to press the reset
button every two minutes until pellets start to drop into
the fire pot, 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.
I. Fire Characteristics
A properly adjusted fire with the heat output control switch
set on “high” has a short active flame pattern that extends
out of the fire pot approximately 4 to 6 inches (102 to
152mm). If the fire has tall flames with black tails and seems
somewhat lazy, the feed rate will need to be reduced. This
is done by sliding the fuel adjustment control rod down,
which will reduce the feed. If the fire is not 4 to 6 inches
(102 to 152mm) tall, slide the fuel adjustment control rod up
to increase the feed. A medium and low setting will give a
shorter flame. The flame will rise and fall somewhat. This
is normal.
Fire Risk
Do NOT operate appliance:
• With appliance door open.
• Fire pot floor open.
• Cleaning slide plates open.
WARNING
Do NOT store fuel:
• Closer than required clearances to combustibles to
appliance
• Within space required for loading or ash removal.
H. 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 10
minutes even though the thermostat is not calling for
heat. This is normal.
3. Locate the heat output control switch mounted on the
right side. Switch it to the high setting by pushing the top
of the switch in, then adjust the thermostat to its highest
setting. The red call light located on the upper right
corner of the right side panel will be on. This indicates
the thermostat is calling for heat
(Figure 10.1)
.
4. The fuel feed system and the igniter should now be on.
