Stove Operation

CONTROL BOARD FEATURES

"Start" Button - The push-button "Start" button
activates the convection fan and the combustion (exhaust) fan. If the
exhaust does not reach proper operating temperature within 30 min-
utes, the stove will automatically shut down. The fans can be restarted
by pushing the "Start" button again after the 30 minute cycle.
"Auger On" Button - The push-button "Auger On"
button activates the fuel feed (auger) motor only. The start button
must be activated first to send power to the auger "on" button. If the
auger "on" button is pushed again, the fuel feed will stop and the fans
will continue to operate until the stove has cooled down sufficiently
(this may take up to 45 minutes); then both of the fans will
automatically turn off.
"Auger On" Light - The red "Auger On" light (L.E.D.)
on the control panel indicates when there is power to the auger motor.
When the auger motor is activated, this light will blink as the auger
motor cycles on and off.
"Pellet Feed" Knob - The "Pellet Feed" knob allows you adjust the
heat output of your stove by controlling the rate at which pellets are
fed to the burn grate. Turning this knob counter clockwise lowers the
fuel feed rate; turning the knob clockwise increases the fuel feed rate.
"Damper Control" Knob - This knob allows you to adjust the
damper, which controls the amount of combustion air that reaches the
burn grate. For an efficient flame, the damper control knob should be
adjusted whenever the "Pellet Feed" knob setting (fuel feed rate) is changed. This knob is
located on the upper third of the control board (see Figure2). When the damper has been cor-
rectly adjusted, you will observe a brisk, yellow-to-whitish flame (refer to video for proper
flame appearance).
NOTE: The proper air settings will vary from stove to stove due to installation altitude, and
the fuel being burned. The LOW, MEDIUM, and HIGH marks should be used only as a
guide for matching pellet feed settings to damper settings. Choose a setting that does not
allow fuel to "pile up" in the grate. Adjust damper to get an active, bright yellow-white flame.
"Fan High/Low" Button - The "Fan High/Low" button sets the speed of the convection fan
motor to either a high or low setting. Choose the high setting to extract the most heat from your
stove; choose the low setting when feeding pellets at lower rates.
