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 and
venting.
2.
Double check that the firebox is empty and the fire pot
floor is fully closed.
3. Close and latch the door.
K. Fire Characteristics
The overall height of the flame will vary throughout the burn
for a couple of reasons:
1.
The flame will vary based on type of fuel or batch of
fuel.
2. The unit adjusts the burn rate according to the dial
setting – the further the dial is rotated clockwise the
higher the flame and consequently, heat output.
3. General maintenance and cleaning. Infrequent or poor
general maintenance will result in poorer performance.
Indicators for additional maintenance activities include:
-
lazy flame
-
black-sooted glass
-
pellets not igniting
-
excess pellets fall ing to the side of the fire pot
4. See trim adjustment section for additional information.
NOTICE:
If you expect children to come into contact with
this appliance, we recommend a barrier such
as a decorative screen. See your retailer for
suggestions.

HEATING
H. Startup
The unit will go into the ignition sequence followed by a
start up sequence (the user interface will read startup).
The ignition sequence involves the exhaust blower and
igniter turning on, and the feed motor running in two stages.
The first stage involves the feed motor running continu ously
for about a minute to start loading pellets into the fire pot. In
the second stage, the feed motor will begin cycling on and
off.
When the pellets are warming - on the verge of igniting - it
is not uncommon for the firebox to fill with smoke.
Once ignition happens, the smoke should quickly
disappear. During this stage, as well as any part during the
burn process, the front door should not be opened.
This startup cycle continues until the unit senses ignition
by a rise in the exhaust temperature or the unit times out.
Following the ignition cycle the unit continues to feed
pellets to build up the fire.
After warming up, the convection blower will begin to blow
warm air into the room. As the appliance increases heat the
blower will increase its output.
I. Fire pot Purge
Purpose: To help remove debris from the fire pot and help
the unit burn as efficient as possible.
The frequency of the purge cycle is once every 30 minutes
while the unit is burning. During the fire pot purge, the feed
is reduced to the lowest setting and the exhaust blower
ramps up to a very high setting. The purge cycle lasts 99
seconds.
The purge cycle does not replace daily cleaning.
J. Shutdown
To shut the appliance down, turn the user interface to
OFF from the main menu. During the shutdown process,
the user interface will read shutdown. Once shutdown is
established the user interface will read standby.
Unlike the fire pot purge, during shutdown existing fuel in
the fire pot will continue to burn without the feed motor run-
ning; but, the exhaust and convection blowers will remain
on until the exhaust has cooled.
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.
G. User Interface
The appliance comes with a user interface and Bluetooth
key, both need to connected for the appliance to operate.
Reference user interface manual supplied for installation
and operation instructions
(Figure 11.1).
Odors and vapors released during initial operation.
• Curing of high temperature paint.
•
Open windows for air circulation.
•
Odors may be irritating to sensitive individuals.
CAUTION
HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. KEEP CHILDREN,
CLOTHING AND FURNITURE AWAY. CONTACT MAY
CAUSE SKIN BURNS.
CAUTION
NOTE:
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.
