THE SLIDER / DAMPER MUST BE SET AT TIME OF INSTALLATION.
A Qualified Service Technician
or Installer must set the Slider Damper .
If the fire should happen to go out and the heat output indicator has been set on the lowest setting, the
Slider Damper should be pushed in slightly, decreasing the air in the firebox.
If, after long periods of burning, the fire builds up and overflows the burn pot or there is a build up of
clinkers, this would be a sign that the pellet quality is poor, this requires more primary air, the slider
damper must be pulled out to compensate. Pulling the slider damper out gives the fire more air.

•
MANUAL and HI / LOW mode: To turn the unit OFF, simply press the ON / OFF button. This will stop
the feed of pellets. The blowers will continue to operate and cool the stove down. When cool enough,
the stove will turn off.
• AUTO / OFF mode: To turn the unit OFF, turn the thermostat down or off. NOTE: The unit will run on
low for three (3) minutes before it turns off.
DO NOT unplug unit while Combustion fan is operating.
This may lead to smoke escaping from the stove.
If this is the first time the unit has been started or the unit has run out of fuel, the auger will need to
be primed. This can be done by restarting the unit five (5) minutes into its start-up or by putting a small
hand full of pellets into the burnpot.
To OPERATE:
When a fire has been established, the System Light will turn solid (after approximately 10
- 15 minutes) and the Auger Light will continue to flash to the corresponding Heat Level setting.
The convection blower (room air blower) will turn on. The speed of this blower is controlled by the setting
of the heat level output indicator. The convection blower can be turned OFF by depressing the convection
blower control button. For the best efficiency the convection blower should be left on at all times.
