This heater is designed to burn only PFI Premium grade pellets.
DO NOT BURN:
1.
Garbage;
2.
Lawn clippings or yard waste;
3. Materials containing rubber, including tires;
4.
Materials containing plastic;
5.
Waste petroleum products, paints or paint thinners,
or asphalt products;
6. Materials containing asbestos;
7.
Construction or demolition debris;
8. Railroad ties or pressure-treated wood;
9.
Manure or animal remains;
10. Salt water driftwood or other previously salt water
saturated materials;
11. Unseasoned wood; or
12.
Paper products, cardboard, plywood, or
particleboard. The prohibition against burning
these materials does not prohibit the use of fire
starters made from paper, cardboard, saw dust,
wax and similar substances for the purpose of
starting a fire in an affected wood heater.
WARNING: Burning these materials may result in release of toxic fumes or render the heater ineffective and
cause smoke.
START-UP PROCEDURE
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 preset temperature).
Attempts to achieve heat output rates that exceed heater design specifications can result in permanent
damage to the heater.
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.
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:
WARNING: Never shut down this unit by unplugging it from the power source.
