1. A thermostat is required for proper operation of this
appliance. If you have to adjust the feed rate after
you have started the fire, most of the pellets in the
hopper will need to be removed so start out with filling
the hopper approximately 1/4 full at this time. Set the
thermostat to its lowest setting and plug the power cord
into nearby outlet.
2. The exhaust blower will stay on for approximately 18
minutes even though the thermostat is not calling for
heat. This is normal.

fill the feed system and allow the appliance to begin
dropping pellets. Or you can put a handful of pellets
in the firepot to speed up the process. The appliance
will continue to run as long as the thermostat is calling
for heat.
8. Once the appliance has ignited, let 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.
