:
•
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.
DO NOT unplug unit while Combustion fan is operating.
This may lead to smoke escaping from the stove.

This is used to regulate the airflow through the pellet stove.
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.
The easiest way to make sure that an efficient flame is achieved is to understand the characteristics of
the fire.
• A tall, lazy flame with dark orange tips requires more air – Open slider (pull out) slightly.
• A short, brisk flame, like a blowtorch, has too much air – Close slider (push in) slightly.

OPERATION
: When the thermostat contacts close, the unit will light
automatically. Once up to temperature, the stove operates the same
as in MANUAL. When the thermostat contacts open, the stove’s HEAT
LEVEL and Fans will drop down to the LOW setting for 30 minutes. If
the thermostat contacts close within the 30 min, the HEAT LEVEL will
return to the previous MANUAL setting. If the thermostat contacts
remain open the stove automatically begins its shutdown routine.
The stove will re-light when the thermostat contacts close again.
Figure 6: Efficient Flame.
• If the flame is in the middle of these two characteristics
with a bright yellow/orange, active flame with no black
tips then the air is set for proper operation.
The combustion exhaust blower is a variable speed blower
controlled by the heat output button. This blower will
decrease the vacuum pressure inside the stove and as the
heat output button is turned down.
SPECIAL NOTES:
Pellet quality is a major factor in how the Pellet stove will
operate. If the pellets have a high moisture content or
ash content the fire will be less efficient and has a higher
possibility of the fire building up and creating clinkers (hard
ash build-up).
