OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE YOUR FIRST FIRE
- Make sure your appliance has been properly installed and that all safety requirements
have been met.
- Check that the ash drawer and firebox are empty.
- The ash drawer and door must be closed securely for proper and safe operation of the
pellet heater.
STARTING THE HEATER
1. The First Ignition
When using your heater for the first time, ensure the hopper is clean and clear of any
foreign materials. Ensure there is current at your outlet.
2. Start Up Procedure
i. Check the burn pot, burn pot liner and ash drawer. Adjust to proper position if
necessary.
ii. Fill the hopper with pellets. Do not allow any part of the bag or any foreign material
in the hopper, as this may jam the auger. Ensure that all pellet matter is cleared from
the hopper lid gasket. Store fuel away from the heater to maintain clearances to
combustibles.
iii. Push the On/Off Button. The Power Light will light up.
Note: If the heater is in either Manual or Temperature mode, it will start automatically.
If the heater is in Weekly mode, it will not start till the programmed time period is
reached.
3. Ignition Stage
During the ignition stage, the igniter will turn on and start to heat the air in the burn pot.
The combustion blower will start and the vacuum switch will turn on. After a couple of
minutes, the auger will start feeding pellets into the burn pot.
The duration of the ignition cycle will depend on the type and quality of the fuel used. It is
normal to see some smoke in the firebox during the ignition process. The smoke will
stop once the moisture evaporates and the fuel lights.
4. Heating
As the fire builds, more fuel will be added and after approximately 10 minutes, the
convection blower will start. This will distribute the heat from the heater into the room.
TURNING YOUR PELLET HEATER OFF
Push the On/Off Button. The display and power will turn off.
Turning the heater off does not disconnect all power from the unit. It will take approximately 30
minutes for the heater to turn off. The combustion blower and the convection blower will still be
running while the heater cools down.
DO NOT TURN OFF THE UNIT BY DISCONNECTING THE ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE
UNIT. THIS WILL STOP THE COMBUSTION BLOWER, CAUSING THE RELEASE OF
SMOKE INTO THE HOUSE AND OVERHEATING OF THE HEATER.
