Note: when the stove is plugged into power for the first time the combustion blower will come on and run
for 8-10 minutes, this is the same function as after a power failure.
Filling the Hopper:
The hopper can be accessed by sliding the the stove top toward you. The hopper will hold up to 65 pounds
(29 Kg) of pellets. Check for any foreign objects in the hopper before filling with pellets. To completely fill the
hopper, pellets will need to be pushed to the back during filling. The Hopper Lid is connected to a switch
and must be completely closed before the Auger will operate.
Opening the Door.
Rotate the door handle clockwise to the horizontal position and slowly pull open. This will help prevent large
amounts of ash from being sucked out as you open the door. To close the Door, revearse the steps.
Before Lighting your stove.
Check the holes in the Burn Pot Liner to make sure they are clear. Remove any ash/clinkers if needed. (See
"Burn-Pot and Liner Cleaning:" on page 13). Check to see that the BurnPot Liner is seated correctly and
pressed back against the Ignitor Tube for proper ignition and operation.
Lighting your Stove:
Note: If this is the first time the stove has been started or the stove has run out of pellets, the auger will be
empty and the Burn-Pot liner will need to be primed. To prime, place a handful of pellets into the middle
of the liner. Or hold down the Auger button, this will cause the auger to run continuosly while the button is
held.
On the control board, push the ON/OFF button. This will turn the POWER indicator light red and will begin
a 15 minute lighting sequence. During the lighting sequence, the auger will pre-load the Burn-Pot liner with
pellets, the igniter will light the pellets and once lit, the auger will resume feeding pellets. Some smoke
inside the firebox can be expected during light up. Once the ignition cycle is finished and the stove is lit,
the POWER light will turn green. The stove will continue to burn at the desired level indicated by the HEAT
LEVEL display.
Caution: Do not attempt to re-start the lighting sequence before it has run its course as the Burn-Pot will
overload with pellets. If after 15 minutes the stove is not lit, the middle light of the HEAT LEVEL display will
flash red. When cooled, safely empty the burn pot liner of any unburned pellets and re-start the stove.
WARNING: Never empty unburned pellets from the Burn-Pot into the pellet hopper. Pellets that appear to
be cool may retain enough heat to ignite other pellets resulting in smoke or fire damage.
General Operation:
Use the HEAT LEVEL LOW and HIGH buttons to adjust the heat level to the desired setting.
Avoid over firing the stove - do not hand feed pellets to the appliance during operation.
Due to different sizes and quality of the fuel, the stove may require adjustment to the damper and or the
feed rate trim to achieve a satisfactory burn on low.
Turning the Unit OFF:
Normal - To turn the stove off, press the ON/OFF button. The control panel lights will go out. The Auger will
stop but the fans will continue to operate until the exhaust temperature drops and the control board com-
pletes the shut down cycle.
