Operating Instructions

A. Starting Your First Fire
1. A room sensor is required for proper operation of this
appliance in "Room Temp" mode. At this time, fill the
hopper with pellets, insure the control is set to "OFF".
Figure 4.1. Plug the power cord into a properly grounded,
nearby outlet.
2. Once power is present, the unit it will run through a quick
diagnostics test to insure the control is operating properly.
This is normal.
3. For your first fire it may be necessary to purge the auger
system by putting the feed limit knob to "Test" prior to
starting the unit. Figure 4.2. This insures that plenty of
fuel enters the burn pot for proper ignition.
4. Flip toggle switch to desired mode "Auto or Disabled".
Figure 4.3. Set feed limit knob to desired setting and turn
mode dial to "Room Temp" or "Constant burn" Figure 4.4.
Note: Feed rate of #4 is a good starting point. Adjustments
may need to be made depending on fuel quality and/or
heat output desired.
5. The fuel feed system and the igniter should now be on.
6. Once the appliance has ignited, let it burn for approximately
7-10 minutes. After this time, the igniter light should turn
off and the unit should begin to operate per the settings
at the control.

B. Fire Characteristics
A properly adjusted fire has a medium active flame pattern
that extends out of the burn pot approximately 6 inches
(152mm).
C. Feed Limit Instructions
The Feed Limit control is factory set at #4, and should be
adequate for most fuels.
However, if the flame height is too high or too low, you will
need to adjust the Feed Limit. Wait until the appliance has
been burning for 15 minutes before making your adjustments
and allow 15 minutes for feed adjustment to take effect.
Odors and vapors released during initial operation.
• Curing of high temperature paint.
• Open windows for air circulation.
Odors may be irritating to sensitive individuals.
D. Ignition Cycles
1. At the beginning of each ignition cycle, it is normal to see
some smoke in the firebox. The smoke will stop once the
fire starts.
2. The distribution blower will automatically turn on after your
appliance has reached the set temperature.
This blower transfers heat from your appliance into the
room, and will continue to run in "constant burn" mode
at the set speed you have the control knob at. In "room
temp" mode however, the blower will turn on and off
in accordance to what temperature the room sensor is
reading. When the room sensor is satisfied the blower will
shut down until the room sensor sees a demand for heat.
3. Occasionally the appliance may run out of fuel and shut
itself down. When this happens, the unit will need to be
turned to the off position and restarted.
If needed, follow the instructions in Section A "Starting
Your First Fire".
