introduced by hand will not increase heat output
but may seriously impair the stoves performance
by generating considerable smoke. Do not burn
wet pellets. The stove’s performance depends
heavily on the quality of your pellet fuel. Avoid pellet
brands that display these characteristics:
• Excess Fines – “Fines” is a term describing crushed
pellets or loose material that looks like sawdust or
sand. Pellets can be screened before being placed
in hopper to remove most nes.
• Binders – Some pellets are produced with
materials to hold the together, or “bind” them.
• High ash content – Poor quality pellets will often
create smoke and dirty glass. They will create a
need for more frequent maintenance. You will
have to empty the burn pot plus vacuum the
entire system more often. Poor quality pellets
could damage the auger. We cannot accept
responsibility for damage due to poor quality
pellet.
CAUTION:
• KEEP FOREIGN OBJECTS OUT OF THE
HOPPER.
• THE MOVING PARTS OF THIS STOVE ARE
PROPELLED BY HIGH TORQUE ELECTRIC
MOTORS. KEEP ALL BODY PARTS AWAY
FROM THE AUGER WHILE THE STOVE IS
PLUGGED INTO AN ELECTRICAL OUTLET.
THESE MOVING PARTS MAY BEGIN TO
MOVE AT ANY TIME WHILE THE STOVE IS
PLUGGED IN.
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.
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. During the start-up period:
1. Make sure the burn pot is free of pellets.
2. DO NOT open the viewing door.
3. DO NOT add pellets to the burn pot by hand.
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 the stovetop during this period because the paint
could be affected. Attempts to achieve heat output
rates that exceed heater design specications can
result in permanent damage to the heater.
AUTOMATIC IGNITOR
Fill hopper and clean burn pot.
1. Press “On/Off” button. Make sure green light
comes on.
2. Adjust feed rate to desired setting by pressing
“Heat Level Advance” button.
If re 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 default setting for the damper
control should be full open. The damper 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 turning the damper slightly
to the right. A “blow torch” re can be improved by
turning the dampener to the left a little bit.
