Operation
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.
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.
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.
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 the stove has been shut off, and you want to re-start it while it is still warm, the “on/off” button must be held down for 2 seconds.
The re goes out and the auger motor and blowers will run until the stove cools. This will take 30 to 45 minutes. After the
stove components stop running the “On/Off” and the BAR GRAPH lights stay on for 10 minutes. After the 10 minutes the
“3” light on the bar graph will ash and the “On/Off” light will go off. To restart, rell hopper and press “Fuel Feed” button
until pellets begin to fall into burn pot. Press “On/Off” button.
We recommend that you not let the hopper drop below ¼ full.
KEEP HOPPER LID CLOSED AT ALL TIMES EXCEPT WHEN REFILLING. DO NOT OVERFILL HOPPER.
Turning your stove off is a matter of pressing the “On/Off” control panel switch. The red light will go out. The blowers will
continue to operate until internal rebox temperatures have fallen to a preset level.
a. 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.
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.
b. If the combustion blower fails, an air pressure switch will automatically shut down the auger.
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 off. Close the door and press “On/Off” button to continue operation of your stove.
