The control board regulates all functions of the stove. The
following is a list of the board’s components:
• feeding light - lights up when the auger is feeding pellets
into the burn pot.
• Ready Light - lights up when stove is ready to operate.
Igniting Light - lights up when the stove is in the ignition
sequence.
• Start button - is pushed to start the ignition sequence
after the heat selector knob is turned from off.
Heat Selector Knob - is turned to off to shut the stove
off or turned to a setting from 1 to high to regulate the
burn
rate.
• Igniter fuse - six amp fuse to protect igniter heating ele-
ment.
• Control fuse - three amp fuse to protect the control
board.

The hopper can be accessed by lifting the lid at the rear
of the top of the stove. The hopper will hold 60 pounds of
pellets. Remove any contents from the hopper and fill with
pellets.

1. Turn the heat selector knob (see Figure 42) to the heat
level desired - 1 through high - and the ready light will
turn green.
2. Push the start button and the ignite and feeding lights will
come on and the lighting sequence will begin. For about
the next 15 minutes the stove will feed pellets cyclically
into the burn pot, the combustion fan will come on, and
the igniter will heat up. During this sequence, some
smoke in the firebox is to be expected. After the igniting
sequence is complete, the stove will begin burning at the
level indicated by the heat selector knob.
Note: Upon the stove’s initial light up, or if the stove has
previously run out of pellets, the auger feed tube may not
contain a sufficient number of pellets to allow the stove
to continue burning after the ignition sequence. It may be
necessary to push the start button a second time to run
the start sequence again. It is important to always empty
(when cool) the burn pot of pellets before pushing the start
button a second time.
WARNING
Never empty pellets from the burn pot into the
hopper. Pellets that may appear to be cool may
retain enough heat to ignite other pellets resulting
in smoke or fire damage.

After the stove is burning (see lighting above), the heat
selector knob controls the pellet burn rate and the stove’s
heat output. Turning the knob to setting 1 allows the stove
to burn about 1.8 pounds of pellets per hour - about 8,500
BTUs per hour. Turning the knob to high allows the stove
to burn 4.7 pounds of pellets per hour - about 39,000 BTUs
per hour. Once set, the stove will continue to burn at this
rate until shut off.

This stove will operate with a low voltage thermostat. See
page 10 for instructions on installing the thermostat. Once
installed, the thermostat will control the operation of the
stove. Important: When connected to a thermostat, it is
necessary to push the ignite button for the initial burn,
when the electrical flow to the stove is interrupted, if the
selector knob is turned to off (and then back on), or if the
stove runs out of pellets and therefore shuts off. After the
initial ignition sequence, when the thermostat calls for heat
(the room temperature is less than the temperature set on
the thermostat) and the heat selector knob is not in the off
position, the stove will burn at the heat selector knob set-
ting. The higher the setting, the quicker the room will heat
up. Once the thermostat no longer calls for heat (the room
is up to the desired temperature), the stove will continue
to burn for one additional hour at the lowest setting. If the
thermostat does not call for heat again during that hour, the
stove will shut off. During that hour, if the thermostat calls
for heat again, the stove will again burn at the heat selector
knob setting until the thermostat no longer calls for heat.
If the stove shuts off after that hour it will relight when the
thermostat calls for heat.
