3. DO NOT add pellets to the burnpot by hand.
4. DO NOT use the Fuel Feed button (unless you are priming the auger after running out of pellets).
A dangerous condition could result.
NOTE: During the fi rst few fi res, your stove will emit an odor as the high temperature paint cures or becomes seasoned to
the metal. Maintaining smaller fi res will minimize this. Avoid placing items on stovetop during this period because paint could
be affected.
THE HOTROD AUTOMATIC FIRESTARTER
a. Fill hopper and clean burnpot.
b. Press "Power" button. Make sure light is on.
c. The damper should be completely closed or open no more than ¼" during start-up. This will vary depending on your
installation and elevation. Once fi re is established adjust for desired fl ame increasing the amount the damper is open as
the heat setting is increased. (See "DAMPER CONTROL")
d. Adjust feed rate to desired setting by pressing "Feed Rate Advance" button.
If fi re doesn't start in 15 minutes, press "Power", wait a few minutes and start procedure again.
DAMPER CONTROL
The damper control rod on the stove's lower left side adjusts the combustion air. This control is necessary due to the varied
burn characteristics of individual installations, different pellet brands and pellet feed rates. It allows you to improve the ef-
fi ciency of your stove. Providing correct combustion air will reduce the frequency of cleaning your glass door and prevent
the rapid buildup of creosote inside your stove and chimney.
You should adjust the damper based on the fi re's appearance. A low, reddish, dirty fi re can be improved by pulling the
damper out slightly. A "blow torch" fi re can be improved by pushing the damper in a bit.
As a general rule, on lower feed rate settings, the damper should be in farther. On higher feed rates, the damper should be
more open. Through trial and error, you will fi nd the best setting. Consult your dealer if you need help.
NOTE: On "1", damper should be either completely closed or out approximately ⅛" to ¼". If damper is out too far, it can
cause the fi re to go out.
OPENING DOOR
If the door is opened while the stove is in operation it must be closed within 30 seconds or the stove will shut down. If the
stove shuts down push the "Power" button to continue the operation of your stove.
ROOM AIR FAN
When starting your stove the Room Air Fan will not come on until the stove's heat exchanger warms up. This usually takes
about 10 minutes from startup.
