D. Before Your First Fire
•
Be sure the appliance is installed properly and that
all safety requirements have been met. Pay par-
ticular attention to the clearances to combustibles,
floor protection and the venting instructions.
•
Test your smoke detector(s) and CO detector(s) to
the specifications of the manufacturer.
•
Double check that the ash pan and internal firebox
are empty.
•
Be sure to read this entire manual.
E. Draft Test Procedure
•
Using a 9/16" wrench, remove the draft test port
plug bolt, located to the left inside the firebox. This
bolt threads downward through the outside of the
body. Externally, the opened hole is located above
the ash pan spring latch on the left.
•
Insert the
draft meter
hose into the
test port.
•
Be sure the
meter is ca-
pable of a scale
between 0 and
1 inch Water
Column. Zero the
meter if necessary,
and be sure it is set
up to read in negative
pressure.
•
Be sure the ash pan, door, and hopper lid are all
closed and latched.
•
Turn the feed adjuster to "Test" mode.
•
During the first minute of test, the combustion
blower will be on high. Record the high draft
reading here ____________-W.C. The high draft
should be above -0.5" W.C. but no higher than -1"
W.C.
•
After a minute, the combustion blower will go to
low speed. Here you want to see a reading be-
tween -0.30" and -0.35". If necessary, adjust the
draft voltage using the low draft adjustment screw
on the circuit board (See Page 24). Clockwise
will increase the draft and counter-clockwise will
decrease it.
•
Once set, record the low draft reading here:_____
______ -W.C.
•
Be sure and turn off of "Test" mode. Disconnect
the meter and return the plug bolt to the test port.

F. Starting a Fire - "MANUAL"
1. With the mode selector in the "OFF" position, and
the Feed Adjuster NOT on "Test", plug the power
cord into a properly grounded receptacle.
2. Fill the hopper with DRY fuel.
3. Turn the FEED ADJUSTER dial to "Test". This will
run the feed motor for one minute. If you begin to
see fuel entering the burn pot, you can stop the
test cycle. Return to #4 or #5 to start out.
4. Turn the mode selector dial to the desired mode.
This will start the combustion blower operating.
If Room Temp is selected, be sure to turn the
temperature dial above the current room tem-
perature.
5. Fill the burn pot with a mixture of wood pellets and
starting gel.
6. Light the starting gel with a match, and close the
door.
7. Only after the ESP temperature increases, will the
feeder start operating to increase the fire size.
NEVER APPLY STARTING GEL TO THE FUEL IN
THE BURN POT WITHOUT THE COMBUSTION
BLOWER OPERATING.
TESTED AND APPROVED FOR USE WITH WOOD
PELLETS OR A MIxTURE OF SHELLED CORN AND
PELLETS ONLY. USE OF ANY OTHER TYPE OF FUEL
WILL VOID THE APPLIANCE WARRANTY.
"NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE
LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL
LIGHTER FLUID, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO
