D. Priming the Feed Tube
The feed tube may need to be primed only if the hopper
is being filled for the first time or if the appliance has run
out of pellets. To prime the appliance, turn the dial control
QUICKLY from the OFF position to the HI position, to OFF
to HI in one fluid motion. The LED light will be a solid green
color to indicate a successful prime function. When the feed
motor is running continuously, the LED light will be a solid
green color. When pellets start to drop into the firepot, the
feed tube is primed. Turn the dial control to the desired
position and the appliance will begin its ignition sequence
with a blinking green light. Allow the appliance up to 20
minutes for ignition to occur.
When attempting Prime function it is NECESSARY
to operate the dial control QUICKLY in a single fluid
motion. If this is not performed properly, the appliance
will not prime.
STOP!
Please Read Prior to Attempting Prime
Function
If the appliance does not ignite, the LED light will blink red four
times showing a missed ignition alarm. Turn the appliance to
off and remove and EMPTY the firepot.
Return the firepot to the appliance in the correct orientation.
See figure in Cleaning Fire pot in the General Maintenance
section of Owner’s Manual under Maintaining and Servicing
the Appliance.
Attempt relighting sequence (see Lighting Instructions Guide).
E. Firepot Burn Down
A feature of these pellet appliances is the firepot burn down
cycle. The frequency of the cycle is once every hour the
appliance is burning. During this event, the feed is reduced
to the lowest setting and the exhaust blower ramps up to the
highest setting. The purpose of the burn down cycle is to help
remove debris from the firepot and help the appliance burn
as efficient as possible. The cycle lasts 99 seconds. Please
be aware that the burn down does not replace daily cleaning
activities but makes them easier.
F. Shutdown
To shut the appliance down, turn the dial control counter
clockwise to the OFF position. During the shutdown process,
the LED will flash amber or green rapidly just like the ignition
sequence. The firepot burn down cycle will begin but without
the feed motor running. The feed will be terminated during
this shutdown process. The exhaust and convection blowers
will remain on during the shutdown process until the exhaust
has cooled.
If maintenance or daily cleaning is going to be conducted
immediately following a shutdown, please use caution as
components especially those inside the firebox may still
be hot.
Please note that if the dial control is turned to the off
position and back on even if by mistake, the appliance
will go through the shutdown sequence.
G. Starting Your First Fire
1. Turn the dial control to “OFF”.
2. Make sure the firepot is clean, in place, and free of debris.
3. Plug the appliance into the wall and fill the hopper with
wood pellets. Shut the hopper lid.
4. Turn the dial control to the desired burn setting.
The appliance will go into the ignition sequence followed
by start up (The green LED will flash rapidly). The ignition
sequence involves the exhaust blower turning on, the igniter
turning on, and the feed motor running in two stages. The
first stage involves the feed motor running continuously for
about a minute to preload pellets into the firepot. Following
the preload and a delay, the feed motor will begin cycling on
and off. When the pellets are warming up and on the verge of
igniting, it is not uncommon for the firebox to fill with smoke.
Once ignition actually happens, the smoke should evacuate
quickly. During this stage as well as any part during the burn
process, the front door should not be opened. This cycle
continues until the appliance senses ignition by a rise in the
exhaust temperature or the appliance times out. Following
the ignition cycle the appliance begins to feed additional
pellets gradually for a few minutes to build up the fire. This is
important to have a controlled start up to keep the appliance
in balance.
A FIREPOT THAT IS MORE THAN HALF FULL IS
OVERFILLED AND CAN BE DANGEROUS. DO NOT
OVERFILL FIREPOT FOR IGNITION.
Overfilling the firepot could cause an unsafe ignition
resulting in injury or damage. Firepot must be emptied.
