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 on page 10)
.
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 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.
J. Feed Rate Adjustment Instructions
The feed adjustment control rod is factory set, and should
be adequate for most fuels.
The set screw is located at the
bottom of the hopper and
set loose at the factory
so the
fuel adjustment control rod will slide up and down by only
loosening the thumb screw at the top (
See Figure 11.1).
Do
not re-tighten bottom set 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.
1.
Loosen the thumb screw (
Figure 11.1).
2. Adjust the fuel adjustment control rod upwards to
increase the feed rate and flame height or downwards
to decrease the feed rate and flame height.
3.
Re-tighten the thumb screw.
Hot while in operation. Keep children, clothing and
furniture away. Contact may cause skin burns.
