THE FIRESTARTER
1. Fill hopper and clean burn pot.
2. Press “On/Off” button. Make sure green light comes on.
3. The damper should be completely closed or open no more than 1/4 of the way during start-up. This will vary
depending on your installation and elevation. Once fire is established adjust for desired flame increasing the
amount the damper is open as the heat setting is increased. (See “DAMPER CONTROL”)
4.
Adjust feed rate to desired setting by pressing “Heat Level Advance” button.
If fire doesn’t start in 12 minutes, press “On/Off”, wait a few minutes, clear the burn pot, and start procedure
again.
DAMPER CONTROL
The damper control lever is located on the back of the stove on the lower left side. The dampener 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 dampener slightly to the right. A “blow torch” fire can be improved by
turning the dampener to the left a little bit. As a general rule, on lower feed rate settings, the damper should
be farther to the left closing it off. On higher feed rates, the damper should be open more by having it set more
towards the right. Through trial and error, you will find the best setting. Consult your dealer if you need help.
NOTE: On heat range “1”, damper should be either completely closed or open no more than a 1/4 of the way. If
damper is open to far, it can cause the fire to go out.
OPENING DOOR
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.
ROOM AIR FAN
When starting your stove the Room Air Fan will not come on until the stove’s heat exchanger warms up. This
usually takes about 10 minutes from start-up.
IF STOVE RUNS OUT OF PELLETS
The fire goes out and the auger motor and blowers will run until the stove cools. This will take 30 minutes or longer
depending on the heat remaining in the appliance. After the stove components stop running all lights on the
display will go out and the two digit display will begin flashing “E3”
REFUELING
•
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.
We recommend that you not let the hopper drop below 1/4 full.
KEEP HOPPER LID CLOSED AT ALL TIMES EXCEPT WHEN REFILLING. DO NOT OVERFILL HOPPER.
SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE
Turning your stove off is a matter of pressing the “POWER” button on the display board. The green light will turn
back to red when the “POWER” button is pushed. The auger motor will stop, and the blowers will continue to
operate until the internal firebox temperatures have fallen to a preset level.
1. Your stove is equipped with a high temperature thermodisc. This unit has a manual reset thermodisc. This
safety switch has two functions.
A. To recognize an overheat situation in the stove and shut down the fuel feed or auger system.
B. In case of a malfunctioning convection blower, the high-temperature thermodisc will automatically
shut down the auger, preventing the stove from overheating.
WARNING: Never shut down this unit by unplugging it from the power source.
