AUTOMATIC SAFETY FEATURES

Power Outage - During a power outage, the stove will shut down safely. It will not automatically
restart when the power is restored. However, a momentary power interruption may not shut your
stove down. A small amount of smoke will likely leak from the top of the window glass, the
hopper and from the combustion air intake, if the stove is vented horizontally. This will not
persist for more than 3 to 5 minutes and will not be a safety hazard. Your smoke alarm could be
activated.
To re-light the stove, follow the normal procedure for starting your stove.
IMPORTANT: If the area in which you live is prone to frequent power outages,
it is recommended that a minimum of 8 feet (2.5 m) of vertical vent pipe be
included in a freestanding installation. In the event of a power failure, this will
create a natural draft and minimize any spillage of exhaust gases into the room.
Overheating - A high temperature switch will automatically shut down the stove if it overheats.
The stove will need to be manually re-lit. Allow up to 45 minutes cooling time before re-lighting.
If the overheating continues, contact your dealer for more information.
Safe Shut Down - While the stove is operating press the auger ''on'' button on the control
board to turn the fuel feed off. Pellets will stop feeding and the red auger "on" light will stop
blinking. Both fans will continue to operate. The fans will automatically turn off after 15 to 40
minutes. The low temperature switch will also shut the stove down safely if it runs out of fuel.
