Start-Up Procedures:
1.
Make sure the fuel hopper is clean and free of foreign matter.
2.
Plug your power cord into a 110 outlet.
3.
Press the on switch (The green light should be on). The combustion blower will
begin operating.
4.
Set the heat control knob on the high setting and check to insure the top auger
in the hopper is turning, then check the bottom auger coming into the firepot to insure
itis turning. (If after 20 seconds either auger is not turning or the combustion blower
is not operating, do not proceed!
Call your dealer or the factory!)
5.
Putabout five pounds of pellet fuel into the hopper and allow the unit to run about
ten minutes to insure the fuel is moving through the feed system properly.
6.
Allow the fuel to build up in the burn pot to a level of one inch below the rim of
the burnpot, set the heat control knob to its lowest setting, press the red off switch
andfillthe hopper with pellets, close the lid and make sure both lid latches are latched
tight.
7.
Spread a small amount of fire starter material over the top of the fuel and ignite.
Close the stove door and make sure it is tight. Allow the fire starter approximately
five minutes to fully ignite and turn the master switch on.
Recommended fire starting materials are: Wax impregnated wood chips, cardobard
cube or liquid firestarter designed for pellet stoves. Never use kerosene, gasoline,
diesel fuel or any other flammable liquids to light the stove.
8.
Check to make sure the flame is sustaining itself and is increasing in intensity
as it involves the fuel bed.
In the unlikely event the fire goes out, check the
combustion blower and the auger motors to determine that they are operating
properly.
Repeat steps 7 through 8.
First Fire: Allow the unit to operate in the low mode for about thirty minutes, then
turn the heat range knob to the medium position about twelve o'clock.
Adjust the
blower speed control knob to the same position. Allow the unit to operate in this mode
for approximately
three hours. This will allow the unit to cure out. As the temperature
in the heat chamber rises, the convection blowers will activate.
CAUTION:
When firing your new unit for the first time, itis very important to
burn the unit on a low or medium setting for at least three hours.
Shutdown
Procedure:
Daily Operation:
Refueling:
Power Outage:
Fire Outage:
Fuel Outage:
If the unit should run out of fuel or the pellet fuel should bridge inthe hopper, the heat
chamber temperature will begin to fall and any time the temperature in the heat
chamber falls below 90F the unit will shut down.
Ash Removal and Disposal
Daily Ash Maintenance:
Every time you load fuel into the hopper, push the red button allowing the unit to burn
