DAILY OPERATION
The hopper and stove top will be hot during operation; therefore, you should always use some type of hand
protection when refueling your stove.
Never place your hand near the auger while the stove is in operation.
This unit should be filled when the hopper level drops below 3-inches.
In the event of a
power outage
, the stove WILL NOT
function. It is very important that unit be vented properly (with
outside air), as the natural draft is needed to clear the smoke from the stove during a power outage. If the unit was
“ON”
when the power outage occurred, one of the following will take place:
1.) If the stove is still warm, it will resume feeding fuel and continue to operate normally. If the fire has gone out, you
will have to press the
“OFF”
button and then the
“ON”
button again to begin a new start-up sequence.
2.) If the stove has cooled-off, it will reset to its
“OFF”
condition. At this point, you may press the
“ON”
button and the
unit will begin a new start-up sequence.
NOTE: The unit will also shut down in the event of an exhaust blower failure; if this is the case, the unit will not re-start
and you must contact Customer Service at (800) 750-2723.
SAFETY AND CONVENIENCE FEATURES
Your pellet stove incorporates a
safety pressure switch
that helps ensure that everything is in proper working order
before feeding fuel to the burn pot. Because the stove works using an induced draft pressure, the stove will not continue
to operate if the viewing door is left open; or if the exhaust blower fails or the exhaust system is blocked.
The
temperature limit control
(Thermistor) will prevent your stove from operating at abnormally high temperatures.
Should the stove temperature begin to approach the factory pre-set limit, the temperature limit control will automatically
slow down the auger feed rate until the temperature returns to a normal condition. Even though the heater will operate
on the highest setting, we recommend to operate your heater on this setting for only a short period of time. (1 hour etc.)
Your pellet stove also includes an
auto-start igniter
as a standard feature. The use of other fire starter materials (wood
chips, starter gel, etc.) is not necessary. By simply pressing the “
ON
” button on the digital control panel, your stove will
begin to feed fuel and automatically start within 5 minutes.
TAMPER WARNING
This wood heater has a manufacturer-set minimum low burn rate that must not be altered. It is against federal regulations to
alter this setting or otherwise operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent with operating instructions in this manual.
