Stove Operation (cont.)
LIGHTING STOVE WITHOUT THE OPTIONAL FASTFIRE™ SELF-IGNITER
1. If lighting your stove for first time, first follow Pre-lighting Instructions on page 8. Place a
recommended fire starter (see your dealer for an appropriate fire starter) in the burn grate and
put a handful of pellets on top of the starter (if using a gel starter, put the pellets in the grate
first).
WARNING: DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS TO START YOUR STOVE.
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE STOVE WITHOUT BURN GRATE IN PLACE
2. Light the fire starter in the burn grate with a match, and close the door. Turn the pellet feed
knob to the "MEDIUM" setting.
3. Turn the "Damper Control" knob to the "MEDIUM" setting .
4. After approximately 10 seconds, press the "Start" button. You will notice that the fire will
become active, and air will flow out of the heat exchanger tubes.
5. Once the pellets in the grate are burning sufficiently (red hot coals), press the "Auger On"
button to activate the auger motor. If the auger is "primed" (see Pre-Lighting Instructions on
page 8), pellets will now begin to feed into the burn grate.
6. After the fire is burning well, adjust the "Pellet Feed" knob to the desired setting. The red
"Auger On" light will blink on and off. Adjust the damper control knob into the same range as
the pellet feed knob, or as necessary for proper combustion. Look for an active, bright
yellow-white flame.
7. Push the "Fan High/Low" button to set the convection fan to the "HIGH" (or "LOW") set-
ting. Each time the button is pushed, the convection fan speed switches to the alternate setting.
The stove can be safely operated at either the "HIGH" or "LOW" convection air setting for any
fuel feed rate.

TURNING OFF THE STOVE

To turn off the stove, simply push the "Auger On" button once, which will turn off the auger
motor, and stop the fuel feed. Both fans will run until the stove has cooled down sufficiently.
At this point, a low-limit snap switch will activate to automatically shut off the stove.
