Prelighting Instructions; Lighting Stove With Optional Fastfire™ Self-Lgniter - Whitfield quest Owner's Manual And Operating Instructions

PRELIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

When lighting your Whitfield stove for the first time, the auger feed tube must be "primed"
(filled with pellets). Also, if the stove ever runs completely out of fuel, the auger system will
need to be primed again. To prime the auger feed tube:
1. Fill the hopper with an approved pellet fuel and plug the stove into the wall outlet.
2. Press the "START" button on the control panel to activate both fans. Push the "Auger On"
button on the control panel (this starts the auger motor). Next, turn the "Pellet Feed" knob to
"HIGH" (the maximum feed rate).
3. Look through the stove's window. The auger is fully primed when you can see the first
pellets dropping into the grate. This will take 10 to 15 minutes.
4. Once the auger is primed, unplug the powercord and wait for a minimum of 30 seconds to
turn off the fans and auger. [Note: This step is followed only when priming the auger and will
not need to be performed every time you start the stove, if fuel is in the hopper.] Once the stove
has shut down, plug the powercord back into the wall outlet.
LIGHTING STOVE WITH THE OPTIONAL FASTFIRE™ SELF-IGNITER
If you have purchased the optional FASTFIRE™ Self-Igniter from your dealer, you will need to
perform the following start-up procedure:
1. Make sure the auger is primed (see Pre-Lighting Instructions above), then simply push the
"START" button on the control board to activate the igniter.
2. Set the "Damper Control" knob in the "MEDIUM" range to obtain: proper air flow for
combustion.
3. Set the "Pellet Feed" control knob to the desired position.
4. Push the "Auger On" button to supply power to the auger motor. Pellets will start feeding
into
the grate and should begin to ignite within three to seven minutes. The self-igniter will automat-
ically shut off after 15 minutes.
5. It may be necessary to adjust the damper control knob after pellets have ignited and the stove
has had a few minutes to warm up.
