OPERATION

PREPERATION BEFORE LIGHTING:
1. Check any possible shipping
damage of the heater. If any is
found, call us directly.
2. Please review thoroughly and be
sure you understand all of the "safety
precautions and warnings".
3. Make sure the fire grate is in its proper
position with slots running from the
front (Door) to the back of the heater.
4. Pour pellets in both hoppers.
5. Damper Control is both temperature
control as well as combustion
efficiency control. To reduce
temperature of stove by 250 degrees
open damper to see slots. To
increase temperature by 250 degrees
close damper fully seeing no slots.
Opening damper will also clean up
particulates (smoke) by increasing
oxygen to fire. Closing damper will
increase temperature.
INITIAL FIRING OF THE HEATER:
On initial firing fill the hoppers ¾
full about 7 lbs of pellets. This one
time initial firing needs to be done
to cure the paint on the unit. Open
the damper on the heater and leave
it open for the entire initial burn
period. Having the damper closed
on initial firing will result in very high
temperatures and potentially damage
your heater voiding your warranty.
PREPERATION BEFORE FIRING:
1. Never attempt to relight a hot heater,
always wait until the heater is cool.
2. Fill both hoppers completely with pellets.
3. Open the door and squirt about
two tablespoons of alcohol fire gel
on the mound of wood pellets in
the middle of the firebox. Pellets
will have funneled down from the
right hopper chute and the left
hopper chute. Do not use charcoal
lighter to light the unit, it will raise
the temperature too quickly, could
affect the paint on the unit, and is a
dangerous flammable liquids.
4. Light the alcohol fire gel with a match
and close the door.
5. Open the (N) Damper below the door
for the first ten minutes of a burn.
6. Standard burn time for the heater
on two full hoppers (20lb) is about
2.5 hours.
ATTENTION
Fire the unit and let it burn through all
of the pellets and then let the heater
cool. You will now be free to use the
unit according to the remainder of
these directions. On your first firing,
the high temperature paint on the
unit will cure. When curing, the paint
gives off smoke. This will happen for
about the first 15 minutes of operation.
Do not breath these fumes, they can
