Operation

Starting First Fire
Be sure the power cord is plugged into a 120 volt
receptacle. This can be verified by the red power
light on the control panel.
Fill the hopper with pellets.
Fill the burn pot with pellets to a level just short of
overflowing, fig. 17.
Adjust feed rate. If this is your first fire or you are
trying different pellets, set the feed adjuster to "3",
fig. 18. This is a conservative number and will prob-
ably need to be increased. After you know a feed
rate setting that works well, use that setting. Re-
member, too high a feed rate will waste fuel.
Turn Mode selector to "OFF" and then to
"Stove Temp". This will turn the combustion
blower to high. When starting a fire always turn
the mode selector to "OFF" before selecting the
desired mode. This resets the control for start-
up.
Turn Temp Dial to 7. This will allow the stove to
burn at maximum for feed rate adjusting pur-
poses.
Apply starting gel to pellets in burn pot and light
the gel. Close the door after lighting. At this point
the distribution and combustion lights will be on
and the feed motor light will be off. As the tem-
perature of the fire increases, the feed motor light
will come on and pellets will feed into the burn
pot. As the stove temperature increases the dis-
tribution blower speed will increase.
After 30 to 45 minutes it may be necessary to read-
just the feed rate. The feed rate should be ad-
justed so there is about one inch of ash in front of
the fire, fig. 20. This is a maximum burn position
and usually does not achieve this position under
normal burn rates.

FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR
