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.
• KEEP HOPPER LID CLOSED AT ALL TIMES
EXCEPT WHEN REFILLING.
• WARNING: DO NOT ADD PELLETS TO
THE BURNPOT BY HAND AT ANY TIME, A
DANGEROUS CONDITION COULD RESULT.
• DO NOT OVERFILL HOPPER.
A tool has been provided to help with the following
functions:
a. Stirring pellets in hopper – unlike liquids in a tank,
pellets do not drain evenly into the auger. Bridging
across the opening can occur. Pellets can hang up
on the sides of the hopper. Occasionally “stirring”
the hopper can help. NOTE: To help prevent bridging
of pellets, common wax paper can be rubbed on the
sidewalls and bottom of the hopper.
b. Cleaning heat exchanger tubes (see “Cleaning”
section of this manual).
c. Scrape ashes from burnpot.
WARNING:
ATTEMPTS TO ACHIEVE HEAT OUTPUT RATES
THAT EXCEED HEATER DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS
CAN RESULT IN PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE
HEATER.
SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE
WARNING:
NEVER SHUT DOWN THIS UNIT BY UNPLUGGING
IT FROM THE POWER SOURCE.
Turning your stove o is a matter of pressing the “Power”
control panel switch. The red light will go out. The
blowers will continue to operate until internal firebox
temperatures have fallen to a preset level.
TAMPER WARNING
This wood heater has a manufacturer-set minimum low
burn rate that must not be altered. It is against federal
regulations to alter this setting or otherwise operate this
wood heater in a manner inconsistent with operating
instructions in this manual.
SAFETY FEATURES
Your stove is equipped with a high temperature
thermodisc. This safety switch has two functions.
1. To recognize an overheat situation in the stove and
shut down the fuel feed or auger system.
2. In case of a malfunctioning convection blower, the
high-temperature thermodisc will automatically
shut down the auger, preventing the stove from
overheating.
NOTE: On some units, once tripped, like a circuit breaker,
the reset button will have to be pushed before restarting
your stove. On other units the thermodisc has no reset
button and will reset itself once the stove has cooled. The
manufacturer recommends that you call your dealer if
this occurs as this may indicate a more serious problem.
A service call may be required.
3. If the combustion blower fails, an air pressure switch
will automatically shut down the auger.
NOTE: Opening the stove door for more than 30 seconds
during operation will cause enough pressure change to
activate the air switch, shutting the fuel feed o. Close
the door and press “On/O” button to continue operation
of your stove.
CLEANING
Heat Exchange Tubes – Your stove is designed with a
built-in heat exchange tube cleaner. This should be used
every two or three days to remove accumulated ash on
the tubes, which reduces heat transfer. Insert the handle
end (with hole) of the cleaning tool onto the cleaning rod.
The cleaner rod is located in the grill above the stove
door. Move the cleaner rod back and forth several times
to clean the heat exchanger tubes. Be sure to leave tube
cleaner at the rear of the stove.
Interior Chambers – Four ash doors and two upper
baes in the firebox of this unit can be removed for
periodic cleaning. These doors allow access to the
chamber surrounding the firebox.
