OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
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.
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 open the damper, the damper needs
to be closed during start up.
4. 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
1. Fill hopper and clean burn pot.
2. Press “On/Off” button. Make sure green light
comes on.
3. The damper should be completely closed or
open no more than 1/4 of the way 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”)
4. Adjust feed rate to desired setting by pressing
“Heat Level Advance” button.
5. 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 dampener 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 dampener slightly to the
right. A “blow torch” re can be improved by closing
the damper a bit. On higher feed rates, the damper
should be open more. Through trial and error, you
will nd the best setting. Consult your dealer if you
need help. NOTE: On heat range “1”, damper should
be either completely closed or open no more than
a 1/4 of the way. If damper is open to far, it can cause
the re to go out.
