(Slide Damper is located on the left side of the stove)
(Damper Adjustment: Pulling out on damper increases air)
Low Heat setting 1, air slide fully closed
Medium - Low Heat setting 2, air slide set at 0.365” from full closed
Medium - High Heat setting 3, air slide set at 1” from full closed
High Heat setting 4, air slide fully open
PRE-START-UP CHECK
Remove burn pot, making sure it is clean and none of the air holes are plugged. Clean the rebox, and then
reinstall burn pot. Clean door glass, if necessary (a dry cloth or paper towel is usually sufcient). Never use abrasive
cleaners on the glass or door. Check fuel in the hopper, and rell if necessary.
NOTE: The 5520 Hopper can hold up to 120 lbs. of pellets.
BUILDING A FIRE
Never use a grate or other means of supporting the fuel. Use only the burn pot supplied with this heater.
Hopper lid must be closed in order for the unit to feed pellets. If it is the rst time you have started the unit, or
anytime the hopper has been emptied of pellets, it will be necessary to prime the auger. In order to prime the
auger press and hold the fuel feed button after starting the unit. Keep fuel feed button depressed until pellets
begin to fall into the burn pot, then release the fuel feed button and allow the unit to operate normally.
During the start up period:
1. DO NOT open the viewing door.
2. DO NOT open the damper more than 1/4”.
3. DO NOT add pellets to the burn pot by hand.
4. DO NOT use the Fuel Feed button (unless you are priming the auger after running out of pellets). A dangerous
condition could result.
NOTE: During the rst few res, your stove will emit an odor as the high temperature paint cures or becomes
seasoned to the metal. Maintaining smaller res will minimize this. Avoid placing items on stove top during this
period because paint could be affected.
THE AUTOMATIC FIRESTARTER
a. Fill hopper and clean burn pot.
b. Press “On/Off” button. Make sure light is on.
c. The damper should be completely closed or open no more than 1/4” during start-up. This will vary depending
on your installation and elevation. Once re is established adjust for desired ame increasing the amount the
damper is open as the heat setting is increased. (See “DAMPER CONTROL”)
d. Adjust feed rate to desired setting by pressing “Heat Level Advance” button.
If re doesn’t start in 15 minutes, press “On/Off”, wait a few minutes, clear the burn pot, and start procedure
again.
DAMPER CONTROL
The damper control rod on the stove’s lower left side 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 efciency 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 re’s appearance. A low, reddish, dirty re can be improved by
pulling the damper out slightly. A “blow torch” re can be improved by pushing the damper in a bit.
As a general rule, on lower feed rate settings, the damper should be in farther. On higher feed rates, the damper
should be more open. Through trial and error, you will nd the best setting. Consult your dealer if you need help.
NOTE: On “1”, damper should be either completely closed or out approximately 1/8” to 1/4”. If damper is out
too far, it can cause the re to go out.
OPENING DOOR
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.
