I . Fines are small pieces of broken pellets (sawdust). Fines do not
flow easily and often build up on the hopper funnel bottom angles.
These fines can be pushed into the feeder opening and then fill the
hopper with pellets. As the system works, they will be burned.
2. The "TEST" cycle will operate the feeder motor for exactly one
minute. Turning to "TEST" again and again may purge too much
fuel into the burn pot causing excessive smoke on start-up.

number and willprobably need to be increased. Afteryou know a
feed rate setting that works well, use that setting. Remember,
if
your feed rate is too high you may waste fuel.

burn pot with the scraper with a small amount of new fuel in the
bottom i s not a problem. First, scrape the ashes on thefiont of the
burn pot into the ash pan. Then scrape the holedsurface downward
into the burn pot. When the stove is ignited these scrapings will be
pushed out by the feeder.
