G. Filling the Hopper with Fuel
Check the hopper and make sure it is empty before filling
with fuel. Open the front to expose the hopper door. Pull
down on the hopper door to open and fill with fuel.
NOTICE: RAISED PLATFORM INSTALLATIONS
Consideration must be given for filling the hopper with fuel
when determining the height of the raised platform. It must
not be so high that it interferes with the safety of filling the
hopper with fuel.
H. Starting Your First Fire
1. Fuel Selection
To start your first fire, you must:
• Select the appropriate fuel on the FUEL SELECTION
screen on the thermostat wall control to match the fuel
you have chosen to burn.
• If the proper fuel is not selected your appliance will not
operate properly.
• For example, if you have selected wood pellets and you
are burning corn, the appliance may not light, it may go
out or overfeed. Figure 10.1.

I. Ignition Cycles
The fireplace engine is controlled by the digital thermostat
wall control. The digital display on the wall control will tell
you what your appliance is doing in the upper left corner
(System Status). Figure 10.3.

Every time the thermostat calls for heat, the appliance steps
through five cycles:
Start-Up Cycle
1
Soft-Start Cycle
2
 Heating Cycle
The duration and characteristics of these cycles may be dif-
ferent with each type of fuel selected.
WARNING! RISK OF FIRE!
Do NOT operate appliance:
• With appliance door open.
• With firepot floor open.
• With ash pan removed
1. Start-Up Cycle
During this cycle:
• Igniter turns on for 90 seconds to heat up the air in the
firepot
• Combustion blower starts
• Vacuum switch comes on
• Feed motor turns on adding fuel to the firepot and the
appliance waits for the fire to start
The duration of start-up depends on the type and quality
of fuel used. It is normal to see some smoke during the
ignition process as moisture evaporates and the fuel lights.
The smoke will stop once the fire starts.
If you are lighting your appliance for the first time:
• The feed tube will be empty and it can take some time to
fill it with fuel before you will see a fire
• Put a handful of fuel in the firepot (priming) to speed up
the process. You can also do this when you have run
completely out of fuel.
