SHUT DOWN PROCEDURE

Press the 

 button on the control pad to put the stove in shut down mode.  Once this is done, the auger will stop 

feeding pellets, but the distribution blower and exhaust blower will continue to operate.  When the internal temperature 
of the unit drops below the factory preset temperature, the distribution blower and exhaust blower will cease to operate 
and the unit will be completely shut down.

The hotter the unit is during its operation, the longer it will take for the stove to complete the shut down cycle.  If the 
stove stays on for more than 2 hours after pressing the 

 button and you are sure that the fire is out, the stove can 

be unplugged from the outlet.  After approximately 10 seconds, the unit can be re-connected to the power source and 
the control board will be reset.

Operation

START-UP PROCEDURE

Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or 

“freshen up” a fire in this stove.  Keep all such liquids well away from the stove while it is in use.

1.) Verify that the hopper is clean and free of foreign matter including pellet fines and dust.
2.) Verify that all of the required exhaust/inlet connections have been made in accordance with this manual and that the 

stove is plugged into an outlet (an outlet surge protector is highly recommended).

3.) Fill the hopper with wood pellets; do not allow any part of the bag or any other foreign material into the hopper, as 

this may jam the auger.

4.) Ensure that all pellet matter is cleared from the hopper seating surface. 
5.) Close the hopper lid.  

The unit WILL NOT feed fuel with the hopper lid open.

6.) Make sure that the viewing door is securely closed (the safety pressure switch will not allow the stove to feed fuel if 

there is no draft pressure inside the stove). 

7.) Press the 

 

button on the control pad and then select the highest heat range

 

by pressing the 

 button.

8.) The stove will begin to feed fuel and the 

auto-start ignitor 

will ignite the fuel in approximately 3 to 5 minutes.

When starting the unit for the first time, the auger mechanism will not be primed with pellets.  This will cause 

the auto-start ignitor to time out and shut the unit down.  Pressing the

 

 button again will restart the startup 

sequence and the stove should ignite properly.  However, on some occassions, this process may need to be 
repeated until ignition depending on fuel size and quality.

As an alternative method to the initial startup, prior to step 6 above, you may add a handful of pellets or add pellets up 
to the ignition port in the burnpot.  Proceed to step 6 thru 8.  The pellets should ignite and heater begin proper operation.    

Once a consistent flame has been established, you can adjust the heat range 

 on the control pad to your desired 

setting, low, medium, or high.  (Note:  The distribution blower will not function until the heat exchanger in the stove 

reaches the factory preset temperature).

First Fire: 

Adjust the heat range to a medium setting and allow the stove to operate in this manner for 

approximately three (3) hours (or more if necessary), allowing the stove to “cure out” as the paint and oils 

from the manufacturing process burn off.  We recommend that you open doors and windows in your home 

during this process.  Then adjust heat range to your desired setting.

WARNING: Never shut down this unit by unplugging it from the power source.
