B. General Operating Information
1. Thermostat Calls For Heat
The appliance is like most modern furnaces; when the thermostat
calls for heat, your appliance will automatically light and deliver
heat. When the room is up to temperature and the thermostat
is satisfied, the red call light will shut off and the appliance will
shut down. Figure 27.1.
2. Heat Output Controls
This appliance is equipped with a heat output control switch that
has three settings or burn rates; low, medium and high. The
appliance will turn on and off as the thermostat demands. When
the thermostat calls for heat, the appliance will always start up
on High. After burning approximately 4 minutes, the appliance
will then burn at the rate at which it was originally set. If the
appliance is set at one of the lower settings, it will run quieter
but takes longer to heat up an area than if it were set at a higher
burn rate. Regardless of the burn rate, when the area is warm
enough to satisfy the thermostat, the appliance will shut off.

C. Before Your First Fire
1. First, make sure your appliance has been properly
installed and that all safety requirements have been met.
Pay particular attention to the fire protection, venting and
thermostat installation instructions.
2. Double check that the ash pan and firebox are empty!
3. Check the position of the thermocouple, located above
the firepot, and make sure that it protrudes approximately
3/4 inch (19mm) into the firepot.
4. Close the front door.
Tip of thermocouple must be in contact with the inside
end of the thermocouple cover.
Missed ignitions can occur.
D. Starting Your First Fire
1. A thermostat is required for proper operation of this
appliance, except for corn. At this time, fill the hopper
with pellets, set the thermostat to its lowest setting. Plug
the power cord into nearby outlet.
2. The exhaust blower will stay on for approximately 10
minutes even though the thermostat is not calling for
Blue
heat. This is normal.

3. Locate the heat output control switch on the right side
behind the right side panel. Set to the HIGH setting and
Light
then adjust the thermostat to its highest setting. The
red call light will be on which is located on the right side
behind the right side panel. This indicates the thermostat
is calling for heat. Figure 27.1.
4. The fuel feed system and the igniter should now be on.
5. For your first fire it will be necessary to press the reset
button approximately 2 minutes after start-up and again
at 4 minutes. This will fill the feed system and allow the
appliance to begin dropping pellets. Continue pushing
the reset button until you detect that pellets are being
delivered into the firepot. The appliance will continue to
run as long as the thermostat is calling for heat.
6. Once the appliance has ignited, let the it burn for
approximately 15 minutes, then set the thermostat to the
desired room temperature. Adjust the heat output control
switch to the desired setting.
Odors and vapors released during initial operation.
• Curing of high temperature paint.
• Open windows for air circulation.
Odors may be irritating to sensitive individuals.
