OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
2.
DO NOT open the viewing door.
3. DO NOT open the damper, the damper needs to be
closed during start up.
4.
DO NOT add pellets to the burn pot by hand.
NOTE: During the first few fires, your stove will emit an odor
as the high-temperature paint cures or becomes seasoned
to the metal. Maintaining smaller fires will minimize this.
Avoid placing items on the stovetop during this period
because the paint could be affected. Attempts to achieve
heat output rates that exceed heater design specifications
can result in permanent damage to the heater.
AUTOMATIC IGNITOR
1.
Fill hopper and clean burn pot.
2.
Press “On/Off” button. Make sure green light comes
on.
3.
The damper should be completely closed or open no
more than 1/4 of the way during start-up. This will vary
depending on your installation and elevation. Once
fire is established adjust for desired flame increasing
the amount the damper is open as the heat setting is
increased (see “Damper Control”)
4.
Adjust feed rate to desired setting by pressing “Heat
Level Advance” button.
5.
If fire doesn’t start in 12 minutes, press “On/Off”, wait
a few minutes, clear the burn pot, and start procedure
again.
DAMPER CONTROL
The damper control lever is located on the back of the
stove. The dampener adjusts the combustion air. This
control is necessary due to the varied burn characteristics
of individual installations, different pellet brands and pellet
feed rates. It allows you to improve the efficiency of your
stove. Providing correct combustion air will reduce the
frequency of cleaning your glass door and prevent the rapid
buildup of creosote inside your stove and chimney. You
should adjust the damper based on the fire’s appearance.
A low, reddish, dirty fire can be improved by turning the
dampener slightly to the right. A “blow torch” fire can be
improved by closing the damper a bit. On higher feed rates,
the damper should be open more. Through trial and error,
you will find the best setting. Consult your dealer if you
need help. NOTE: On heat range “1”, damper should be
either completely closed or open no more than a 1/4 of the
way. If damper is open to far, it can cause the fire to go out.
OPEN
CLOSED
OPENING DOOR
CAUTION:
• DO NOT OPERATE YOUR STOVE WITH THE VIEWING
DOOR OPEN. THE AUGER WILL NOT FEED PELLETS
UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES AND A SAFETY
CONCERN MAY ARISE FROM SPARKS OR FUMES
ENTERING THE ROOM.
• THE FEED DOOR MUST BE CLOSED AND SEALED
DURING OPERATION.
If the door is opened while the stove is in operation it must
be closed within 30 seconds or the stove will shut down. If
the stove shuts down push the “On/Off” button to re-start
your stove. The stove will have to fully shut down and turn
off before you will be able to restart the stove.
ROOM AIR FAN
When starting your stove the Room Air Fan will not come
on until the stove’s heat exchanger warms up. This usually
takes about 10 minutes from start-up.
IF STOVE RUNS OUT OF PELLETS
The fire goes out and the auger motor and blowers will run
until the stove cools. This will take 30 minutes or longer
depending on the heat remaining in the appliance. After
the stove components stop running all lights on the display
will go out and the two digit display will begin flashing “E3”
REFUELLING
Never place your hand near the auger while the stove is in
operation. We recommend that you not let the hopper drop
below 1/4 full.
