OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
REFUELLING
CAUTION:
• THE HOPPER AND STOVE TOP WILL BE HOT
DURING OPERATION; THEREFORE, YOU
SHOULD ALWAYS USE SOME TYPE OF HAND
PROTECTION WHEN REFUELING YOUR STOVE.
• DO NOT TOUCH THE HOT SURFACES OF THE
STOVE. EDUCATE ALL CHILDREN ON THE
DANGERS OF A HIGH-TEMPERATURE STOVE.
YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD BE SUPERVISED
WHEN THEY ARE IN THE SAME ROOM AS THE
STOVE.
• 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.
WARNING:
• KEEP HOPPER LID CLOSED AT ALL TIMES
EXCEPT WHEN REFILLING.
• DO NOT OVERFILL HOPPER.
SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE
WARNING:
NEVER SHUT DOWN THIS UNIT BY UNPLUGGING
IT FROM THE POWER SOURCE.
Pressing the OFF button will cause the heater to enter
a shutdown mode. If the heater has reached operating
temperature, the “OFF” Indicator will blink until the
shutdown procedure succeeds in lowering the heater
temperature. The Room Fan will stay on to cool the
heater, and the Exhaust Fan will stay on to remove smoke
and heat from the combustion chamber. The Agitator
will rotate continuously until shutdown is complete. The
Auger will bump the fuel out every few seconds to prevent
the fuel in the auger from burning. Once the temperature
of the burn chamber falls below approximately 90°F and
the pressure switch detects that the door is closed, the
fans will stop and the Auger will run for a few seconds to
purge the auger system of any burned fuel. At this point,
the “OFF” Indicator will go out and the heater will turn
completely o. If during burning, the heater reached at
least 120°F, the shutdown procedure will include a 15
minute shutdown cycle that will keep the heater in the
shutdown state for at least 15 minutes regardless of
whether it is cool or pressure is detected. The 15 minute
cycle can be turned o by pressing the o button during
shutdown. This will cause the system to exit shutdown
and return to the “OFF” mode as soon as the door is
closed and the heater is cool. Continue to monitor the
heater / insert after the shutdown procedure has begun.
And remember, varying ambient conditions may result
in a lengthy period of time for adequate cool down and
the resultant shut down. Be patient, this is normal. The
control board is telling the heater / insert to gradually
“shut down,” rather than initiate a sudden halt of fuel to
the fire pot. In this way, the possibility of smoke entering
the home is avoided.
INTERIOR CHAMBERS
• Periodically remove and clean the burn pot and the area
inside the burn pot housing. In particular, it is advisable
to clean out the holes in the burn pot to remove any
build up that may prevent air from moving through the
burn pot freely.
• Remove the small clean-out slides in the lower corners
of the firebox. Tap the sides of the burn chamber with
a wooden stick. Do not tap the firewall behind the burn
box as it may damage the ceramic firebrick. Scrape the
fly ash from the clean-out chambers toward the front
of the burn chamber. Remove the fly ash from the burn
chamber and replace the clean-outs.
• Remove the ash pan and dump the ash into a metal
container.
• Cleaning of the exhaust system will depend upon the
ash and debris content of your fuel. If your fuel has a
high ash content and/or significant debris in it, your
exhaust system will require weekly cleaning. Cleaner
fuels will allow for monthly cleaning of the exhaust
system. Remove the exhaust pipe from the back of your
heater and remove any ash that may have collected in
the pipes. Replace the pipes to the heater and seal with
high temperature seal tape. If you have installed proper
clean out tees you will not have to take the chimney
sections apart.
