helpful hints
1. Fines are small pieces of broken pellets (sawdust). Fines do not
flow easily and often build up on the hopper funnel bottom angles.
You can push these fines into the feeder opening and then fill the
hopper with pellets. As the system works, they will be burned. Or
you can clean them out before filling the hopper.As the system
works, they will be burned.
2. The "TEST" cycle will operate the feeder motor for exactly one
minute. Turning to "TEST" again and again may purge too much
fuel into the burn pot causing excessive smoke on start-up.
3. The firebox low pressure switch will not allow the auger motor
or the igniter element to operate if the view door or the ash pan
door are open.
4. Adjust Feed Rate. If this is your first fire or you are trying different
pellets, set the feed adjuster to #4, Fig. 26. This is a conservative
number and will probably need to be increased. After you know a
feed rate setting that works well, use that setting. Remember, if your
feed rate is too high you may waste fuel.
5. This is usually a weekly maintenance procedure. Cleaning the
burn pot with the scraper with a small amount of new fuel in the
bottom is not a problem. First, scrape the ashes on the front of the
burn pot into the ash pan. Then, scrape the top surface of the burn
pot downward into the base of the burn pot. When the stove is ignited
these scrapings will be pushed out by the feeder and burned.
6. The ash pan can hold the ashes from approximately 1 ton of
premium fuel. This means the ashes will only need to be emptied
a few times a year.
7. Setting the feed adjuster # for maximum burn: With the unit
burning in "AUTO", turn to "Stove Mode" and put the fan on "H".
Set the Temperature Dial to #7. Allow the unit to burn for about 30
minutes and check ash on front of burn pot. Fig. 28. If the ash line
is larger than 1", turn the feed adjuster from #3 to #4. Allow another
30 minutes of burn time and check again. If , at #6 setting, a 1" or
less ash bed is not obtainable, it is not a problem. The 1" ash bed
is only a maximum burn rate and at most normal settings the ash
bed will be larger.

No. 4 is good for most pellets.
2. turn the MOde SelectOr to "OFF" and
then to the desired mode. This will reset con-
trol and start the combustion motor.

setting.
4. clean burn pot with scraper if necessary.
5. Fill burn pot with pellets, only level with front
edge. (Do Not Over Fill).
6. add starting gel on top of the pellets. Stir gel
into pellets for fast lighting.
7. light starting gel with a match, and close the
door. Operation will begin when the fire reaches
