• Attempts to achieve heat output rates that exceed heater design specifications can result in permanent
damage to the heater.
1. Verify that the hopper is clean and free of foreign matter.
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 “ON” button on the control pad and set the “heat Setting” to your desired setting.
8. The stove will begin to feed fuel and the auto-start igniter will ignite the fuel in approximately 5 minutes.
Once a consistent flame has been established, you can adjust the “Heat Range” and “Blower Speed” on the
control pad to your desired settings. (Note: The distribution blower will not function until the heat exchanger in the
stove reaches the factory pre-set temperature).
SHUT DOWN PROCEDURE
Press the “OFF” button on the control pad to put the stove in shut down mode. At this time, the red light above
the pad will illuminate. 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. The red light will then shut
off 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 “OFF” 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. If a chimney or creosote fire occurs, press the “OFF” button
immediately. Do not unplug the unit.
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
First Fire: Adjust the “Heat Range” and “Blower Speed” to a “3” 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. Adjust setting to desired setting.
WARNING: Never shut down this unit by unplugging it from the power source.
