E. General Operating Information
1. Thermostat Calls For Heat
The appliance is like most modern furnaces; when the
thermostat calls for heat, your appliance will automatically
light and deliver heat.
When the room is up to temperature and the thermostat is
satisfi ed, the red call light will shut off and the appliance
will shut down. The red call light is located behind the right
access panel.
2. Heat Output Controls
This appliance is equipped with a heat output control switch
that has three settings or burn rates; low, medium and high.
Figure 8.1.
The appliance will turn on and off as the thermostat demands.
When the thermostat calls for heat, the appliance will always
start up on High. After burning approximately 4 minutes, the
appliance will then burn at the rate at which it was originally
set. If the appliance is set at one of the lower settings, it will
run quieter but takes longer to heat up an area than if it were
set at a higher burn rate.
Regardless of the burn rate, when the area is warm enough
to satisfy the thermostat, the appliance will shut off.

F. Before Your First Fire

H. Starting Your First Fire
1. A thermostat is required for proper operation of this
appliance, except for corn. At this time, fi ll the hopper
with pellets, set the thermostat to its lowest setting. Plug
the power cord into nearby outlet.
2. The exhaust blower will stay on for approximately 18
minutes even though the thermostat is not calling for heat.
This is normal.
3. Locate the heat output control switch on the lower right
side of the fi rebox behind decorative front door. Set to the
HIGH setting and then adjust the thermostat to its highest
setting. The red call light will be on which is located on
the top of the junction box behind the right access panel.
This indicates the thermostat is calling for heat. Figure
24.3.
4. The fuel feed system and the igniter should now be on.
5. For your fi rst fi re it will be necessary to press the reset
button once per minute until pellets start to drop into the
fi repot, then press button 1 more time. This will fi ll the
feed system and allow the appliance to begin dropping
