PRE-START-UP CHECK
Remove burn pot, making sure it is clean and none of the
air holes are plugged. Clean the firebox, and then reinstall
burn pot. Clean door glass if necessary (a dry cloth or
paper towel is usually sufficient). Never use abrasive
cleaners on the glass or door. Check fuel in the hopper,
and refill if necessary.
BUILDING A FIRE
Never use a grate or other means of supporting the fuel.
Use only the burn pot supplied with this heater. Hopper
lid must be closed in order for the unit to feed pellets.
During the start-up period:
• Make sure the burn pot is free of pellets.
• DO NOT open the viewing door.
• DO NOT add pellets to the burn pot by hand.
NOTE: During the first few fires, your stove will emit an
odor as the high-temperature paint cures or becomes
seasoned to the metal. Maintaining smaller fires will
minimize this. Avoid placing items on the stovetop during
this period because the paint could be affected. Attempts
to achieve heat output rates that exceed heater design
specifications can result in permanent damage to the
heater.
OPTIMAL OPERATION
This pellet stove has been certified by the US EPA to
meet strict 2020 guidelines. To Insure this unit produces
the optimal minimal emissions, it is critical to follow the
following guidelines. To achieve a “high burn” your stove
should be set on setting 5 with the damper fully open.
To achieve a “medium burn” your stove should be set
on setting 1 with the damper fully closed. To achieve a
“low burn” your stove should be set on setting 1 with the
damper closed. Settings 2, 3 & 4 will give you a higher
heat output above medium and the damper should be
open for these settings. If the door is opened while the
stove is in operation it must be closed within 30 seconds
or the stove will shut down. If the stove shuts down push
the “On/Off” button to re-start your stove. The stove will
have to fully shut down and turn off before you will be
able to restart the stove.
IGNITOR
1. Fill the hopper and clean the burn pot.
2. Press the “On/Off” button.
3. Set the heat range/temperature.
Manual Mode -
Press the “Display Button” to see the current heat
range. Use the up and down arrows to adjust the heat
range.
T-stat Mode -
Press the “Display Button” to
see the current temperature setting. Use the up and
down arrows to adjust the temperature as needed.
If the fire doesn’t start in 12 minutes, press “On/Off”, wait
a few minutes, clear the burn pot, and start the procedure
again.
DAMPER CONTROL
The damper control lever is located on the back of the
stove on the lower left side. The default setting for the
damper control should be full open. The damper adjusts
the combustion air. This control is necessary due to the
varied burn characteristics of individual installations,
different pellet brands and pellet feed rates. It allows
you to improve the efficiency of your stove. Providing
correct combustion air will reduce the frequency of
cleaning your glass door and prevent the rapid buildup
of creosote inside your stove and chimney. You should
adjust the damper based on the fire’s appearance. A low,
reddish, dirty fire can be improved by turning the damper
slightly to the right. A “blow torch” fire can be improved
by turning the dampener to the left a little bit. For optimal
burning results, refer to “Optimal Operation” section of
this manual.
