5. STOVE OPERATION

5.1 BEFORE OPERATING THE STOVE

•
Make sure the baffle is properly installed.
•
Make sure that all tools and other accessories
that have been stored in your unit for transport
have been removed.
•
Make sure that the burn pot is in place properly,
that there is enough pellets in the hopper and that
the recommended maintenance schedule has
been followed
•
The stove handle is removable. When the stove
is in operation, it must be stored behind the stove,
as shown in the image below.

5.2 STARTUP

Press the «MODE» button to turn the stove on
in manual mode (MANUAL) or thermostat mode
(THERMOSTAT). When the «MODE» button is
Page 6
pressed, the stove will automatically ignite. No fire
starter is required.
By pressing on the «+» or «-» buttons, you will be
able to increase or decrease the feed rate, and
thereby the intensity level of the stove. Intensity
levels change, from 1 to 6, can be visualized by the
red light in the heating intensity display area.
NOTICE
During the first few fires, your stove will emit an
odor and a small amount of fumes as the high
temperature paint cures or becomes seasoned to
the metal. Maintaining smaller fires will minimize
this. Avoid placing items on stovetop during this
period to avoid damaging the paint surface. Make
sure the room is well-ventilated. Open windows.
Odors and fumes released during this process
are unpleasant but they are not toxic.
Make two or three low intensity fires to initiate the
hardening and conditioning process. Then, make
high intensity fires until the stove no longer smells
like paint.
CAUTION
NEVER USE A GRATE OR OTHER MEANS
OF SUPPORTING THE FUEL. ONLY USE
THE APPROVED STOVE BURN POT AND
DO NOT MODIFY IT.

5.3 REFULING

When the stove is running, you have 90 seconds to
fill the hopper before the stove stops. You will hear a
beeping sound that will intensify every 30 seconds.
After 90 seconds, if the hopper lid is still open, the
stove will stop and display the warning code «d». For
more information, see the «Troubleshooting» section.
Note that opening the hopper lid will stop the auger
from feeding the pellet stove.
When the stove is stopped, there is no time limit for
filling the hopper.
Do not overload the hopper.
