Performance
•
Higher ash content requires the ash drawer to be
emptied more frequently
•
Hardwoods require more air to burn properly
•
Premium wood pellets produce the highest heat output.
•
Burning pellets longer than 1-1/2 inches (38mm) can
cause an inconsistent fuel feed rate and/or missed
ignitions.
We recommend that you buy fuel in multi-ton lots whenever
possible. However, we do recommend trying various
brands before purchasing multi-ton lots to ensure your
satisfaction.
Changing to Different Fuel Type
•
Empty the hopper of the previous fuel
•
Thoroughly vacuum hopper before filling with the new
fuel
The burn rate, BTU content and heat output will all vary
depending on the fuel selected.
Storage
•
Wood pellets should be left in their original sealed bag
until using to prevent moisture absorption.
f i r e - p a r t s . c o m
•
This will also prevent rodents from becoming a
problem.
•
Do not store any pellet fuel within the clearance
requirements or in an area that would hinder routine
cleaning and maintenance.
E. 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 drawer and firebox are
empty!
3. Close the front door.
IMPORTANT DETAIL: THE TIP OF THE
THERMOCOUPLE MUST BE IN CONTACT WITH THE
INSIDE END OF THE THERMOCOUPLE COVER OR
MISSED IGNITIONS CAN OCCUR.
F. Filling the Hopper
Open the hopper lid by lifting the handle. Fill the hopper
with fuel. Close the hopper lid. The unit will not feed with
the hopper lid open and the fire will go out.

G. User Dial Control
The appliance has one dial control located on the side of
the unit (behind a drop door) used for changing the heat
setting and restarting the appliance. There are five heat
settings on this dial ranging to include: LOW, MED-LOW,
MED, MED-HIGH, and HIGH. Figure 11.1
Turn the dial control to the desired heat setting and turn the
appliance ON and OFF using the thermostat.

H. Normal Startup Sequence
The unit will go into the ignition sequence followed by a
start up sequence (the green LED will flash rapidly).
The ignition sequence involves the exhaust blower and
igniter turning on, and the feed motor running in two stages.
The first stage involves the feed motor running continu ously
for about a minute to start loading pellets into the fire pot.
In the second stage, the feed motor will begin cycling on
and off.
When the pellets are warming - on the verge of igniting - it
is not uncommon for the firebox to fill with smoke.
Once ignition happens, the smoke should quickly
disappear. During this stage, as well as any part during the
burn process, the front door should not be opened.
This startup cycle continues until the unit senses ignition
by a rise in the exhaust temperature or the unit times out.
Following the ignition cycle the unit continues to feed
pellets to build up the fire.
After warming up, the convection blower will begin to blow
warm air into the room. As the appliance increases heat
the blower will increase its output.
I. Fire Characteristics
A properly adjusted fire with the heat output control switch
set on "high" has a short active flame pattern that extends
out of the fire pot approximately 4 inches (102mm). If the
fire has tall flames with black tails and seems somewhat
lazy, the feed rate will need to be reduced. This is done
by sliding the fuel adjustment control rod down, which will
reduce the feed. If the fire is not 4 inches (102mm) tall,
slide the fuel adjustment control rod up to increase the
feed. A medium and low setting will give a shorter flame.
The flame will rise and fall somewhat. This is normal.
