CAUTION:
• THE HOPPER AND STOVE TOP WILL BE HOT
DURING OPERATION; THEREFORE, YOU SHOULD
ALWAYS USE SOME TYPE OF HAND PROTECTION
WHEN REFUELING YOUR STOVE.
• DO NOT TOUCH THE HOT SURFACES OF THE STOVE.
EDUCATE ALL CHILDREN ON THE DANGERS OF A
HIGH-TEMPERATURE STOVE. YOUNG CHILDREN

TAMPER WARNING
This wood heater has a manufacturer-set minimum low
burn rate that must not be altered. It is against federal
regulations to alter this setting or otherwise operate this
wood heater in a manner inconsistent with operating
instructions in this manual.
WARNING:
• KEEP HOPPER LID CLOSED AT ALL TIMES EXCEPT
WHEN REFILLING.
• DO NOT OVERFILL HOPPER.
SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE
WARNING:
NEVER SHUT DOWN THIS UNIT BY UNPLUGGING IT
FROM THE POWER SOURCE.
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.
NOTE: On some units, once tripped, like a circuit breaker,
the reset button will have to be pushed before restarting
your stove. On other units the thermodisc has no reset
button and will reset itself once the stove has cooled. The
manufacturer recommends that you call your dealer if this
occurs as this may indicate a more serious problem. A
service call may be required.
2. If the combustion blower fails, an air pressure switch
will automatically shut down the auger.
NOTE: Opening the stove door for more than 30 seconds
during operation will cause enough pressure change to
activate the air switch, shutting the fuel feed off. The stove
will shut down and show “E2” on the two digit display. The
stove has to fully shut down before restarting.
INTERIOR CHAMBERS
•
Burn Pot -
Periodically remove and clean the burn pot
and the area inside the burn pot housing. In particular,
it is advisable to clean out the holes in the burn pot to
remove any build up that may prevent air from moving
through the burn pot freely.
•
Heat Exchanger -
There is a clean out plate on both
sides of the heat exchanger that need to be removed to
clean fly ash out of the heat exchanger. The cleanouts
are located inside the cabinet doors, on the lower front
corners of the heat exchanger. To access these clean
outs, you must remove both side panels. The clean outs
are secured to the firebox with (2) 5/16” screws. Remove
the clean outs and vacuum out any accumulated ash.
This should be done at least once per month or more
frequently if large amounts of ash are noticed while
cleaning or if the stove does not seem to be burning
properly.
If a vacuum is used to clean your stove, we suggest
using the AV15E AshVac vacuum. The AV15E AshVac is
designed for ash removal. Some regular vacuum cleaner
(i.e. shop vacs) may leak ash into the room.
DO NOT VACUUM HOT ASH.
WARNING:
FAILURE TO PROPERLY MAINTENANCE THE CLEAN
OUTS WILL RESULT IN POOR PERFORMANCE OF THIS
STOVE.
