CAUTION: Never use gasoline, lantern fuel,
lighter fl uid to start or "freshen-up" a fi re in this
heater. Keep all such fl uids away from heater
when in use.
Note: Make sure the burn pot liner is installed prop-
erly against the ignitor tube for proper operation. See
Figure 26.
Due to different installation set ups, length and size of
venting and fuel quality, the low feed setting from the
factory will not always be correct. It may be neces-
sary to experiment with feed rate vs air control. (For
example, #2 may be your lowest setting).
If this is the fi rst time the heater has started or the
heater has run out of pellets, the auger will need to
be purged.
Press "START" switch, turn the pellet feed dial to
high to fi ll the auger full of pellets and pull the air con-
trol rod all the way out allowing air fl ow into the fi re. If
the heater does not reach the required temperature
and turns off after 15 mintues, press the start switch
again. This time turn the pellet feed dial to low, to
prevent over fi lling the burn pot and continue with the
start-up instructions below.
1. Press "START" switch
2. Rotate the Pellet feed dial rate to optimum
3. If the heater stops running after approximately 15
minutes, press "START" switch again.
If no ignition is apparent and pellets are building up
in the burner pot, remove pellets from the burner pot
before restarting.
CAUTION: Heater may be hot.
Blower Speed Dial
By adjusting the Blower Speed dial you will vary the
rate of airfl ow into the room by varying the speed
of the convection blower. When you fi rst start the
heater, it should be placed in the "OFF" position in
order to heat up the unit as quickly as possible. Once
the room has come up to temperature, the control
may be set to a comfortable level.
Note: The convection blower may cycle to high auto-
matically depending on the setting of the pellet feed
rate and the Blower Speed. This is a normal safety
feature of the unit.
WARNING: IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO BURN
THE UNIT ON LOW OR HIGH. THE MOST EFFICI-
IENT SETTING IS 4 (OPTIMUM).

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
START-UP
Note: The fl ashing amber light corresponds to the
auger motor feeding the pellets. Wood pellets of
different quality may affect the performance of the
heater. If the heater has trouble operating at the ends
of it's range, adjust the feed rate accordingly.
Pellet Feed Dial
This switch controls
the amount of heat
output. The switch
has a scale (dial)
from 1 through 5. At
setting 5 the pellet
feed rate is the
greatest.
SHUT-DOWN
To turn your heater off, simply turn the feed dial
counter-clockwise until the dial clicks to the "OFF"
position. This will stop the feed of pellets. The blow-
ers will continue to run to cool the heater. When cool
enough, the heater will shut down. DO NOT unplug
unit while combustion blower is operating. This
may lead to smoke escaping from the heater into
the room.
LIGHTING HEATER MANUALLY
Your heater can be lit manually without using the
automatic igniter by following the procedure below.
CAUTION: Heater may be hot.
1. Press the start switch
2. Turn feed dial to "Optimum"
3. Place a "handful" of pellets into the burn pot.
4. Cover with a small amount of approved
(non-volatile) fi re starter gel.
5. Light fi re started with a match and close the
viewing door.
PROPER PELLET LOADING
Before loading pellets into the hopper fi rst trans-
fer the pellets from it's original plastic bag to a
metal bucket.
Note: If the pellets are kept in the plastic bag, the
bag may come in contact with the heater causing the
bag to melt and the pellets to spill.
DO NOT load pellets into the hopper if they have
been exposed to moisture. Moisture can cause pel-
lets to swell and cause blockage in the feed system.
Thoroughly dry pellets before placing into hopper.
