Turn the Fuel Stirrer knob to the number 1 setting and let it rotate a couple turns to stir the firestarter and wood
pellets together. Then turn the fuel stirrer off until the fire is burning good. (approximately 1 minute)
9
Close the Combustion Enhancement System.
9
Once the wood pellets are burning good enough for the fuel stirrer to stay on (app. 1 minute), turn the fuel
stirrer to the number 1 setting and leave it on. Adjust the manual draft lever (located on the left side of the unit
to the left of the ash pan so that there is approximately ½ inch of fuel in the bottom of the firepot. This level
cannot be determined quickly. Minor adjustments will have to be made until the main fuel starts coming in and
the unit is up to temperature.

NOTE: Even if you are burning corn or other fuels in your Magnum 7500 wood pellets make an
excellent source of starter fuel. Corn takes too much starter gel to get lit and up to temperature.
(DO NOT START THE FIRE WITH CORN)
9
Three minutes after the heat setting knob is turned to the number 3 setting the fuel will start to feed into the
firepot. If the firepot begins to fill up with unburned fuel, open the manual draft lever a little to burn up the
excess fuel. If the fire is going out because there is too much fuel coming in, turn the heat setting knob off and
then turn back on. This will give you another 3 minutes before fuel feeds in.
9
If the fire is burning too fast and the fuel is being burned up too quickly, turn the manual draft lever closed a
little to slow the fire down. This should be done in small 1/16” increments so that the fire doesn’t change too
quickly.
9
Once the fire has established itself (usually 10 to 15 minutes) adjust the manual draft lever so that there is
approximately ½ inch of fuel in the bottom of the firepot.
Do not let the fuel build up any higher than that or
it will cause the fire to burn dirty and you will get excessive ash. If the fuel level is too low (below ¼”) the
fire may go out. Once you have achieved this the fuel feed and air mixture should sustain the 1/2 level.
9
The Combustion Enhancement must be on top of the firepot to close the door.
Damper Control Function
The damper control lever is located on the left side of the unit close to the ash pan access panel. You will turn the
lever according to the air required. The knob serves as an indicator as to how far the air is open. The proper setting
will vary from home to home so fine tuning has to be done in the home with the fuel that you plan to use.
Normally ¼ to 1/3 open will be sufficient. When you are using the high setting, the air damper has to be
adjusted independently and will have to be app. ½ to 2/3 open.

Before lighting your
Magnum 7500
for the first time make sure that all
items are out of the hopper and firebox area. Turn the heat setting and fuel
stirrer knob to the off position and turn the manual draft to 90 percent
closed.
Note:
If using a wall thermostat option make sure that the
thermostat is turned up above room temperature. The unit will operate on
low fire if the thermostat is turned down
. Always start the fire on the # 3
heat setting. Open the Combustion Enhancement System. You will
have to have the door open to hinge the CES toward the door opening.

Place a large handful of wood pellets or fire starter in the firepot.
9
Squirt a small amount of fire starter gel on top of the wood pellets.
(Evenly across the wood pellets)
9
Light the fire starter and wait app. 1-minute for it to start burning.

Turn the heat setting knob to the number 3 setting and turn the manual
draft lever approximately ¼ open. (more or less if necessary)
