5. For your first fire it will be necessary to press the reset
button every two minutes until pellets start to drop into
the fire pot, then press button 1 more time. This will
fill the feed system and allow the appliance to begin
dropping pellets. The appliance will continue to run as
long as the thermostat is calling for heat.
6. Once the appliance has ignited, let it burn for
approximately 15 minutes, then set the thermostat to
the desired room temperature. Adjust the heat output
control switch to the desired setting.
I. Fire Characteristics
A properly adjusted fire with the heat output control
switch set on "high" has a short active flame pattern that
extends out of the fire pot approximately 4 to 6 inches
(102 to 152mm). If the fire has tall flames with black tails
and seems somewhat lazy, the feed rate will need to be
reduced. This is done by sliding the fuel adjustment control
rod down, which will reduce the feed. If the fire is not 4 to 6
inches (102 to 152mm) tall, slide the fuel adjustment control
rod up to increase the feed. A medium and low setting will
give a shorter flame. The flame will rise and fall somewhat.
This is normal.
J. Feed Rate Adjustment Instructions
The feed adjustment control rod is factory set, and should
be adequate for most fuels. The set screw is located at the
bottom of the hopper and set loose at the factory so the
fuel adjustment control rod will slide up and down by only
loosening the thumb screw at the top. See Figure 11.1. Do
not re-tighten bottom set screw.
However, if the flame height is too high or too low, you
will need to adjust the feed rate. Wait until the appliance
has been burning for 15 minutes before making your
adjustments and allow 15 minutes for feed adjustment to
take effect.
1. Loosen the thumb screw. Figure 11.1
2. Adjust the fuel adjustment control rod upwards to
increase the feed rate and flame height or downwards
to decrease the feed rate and flame height.
3. Re-tighten the thumb screw.

K. Ignition Cycles
1. At the beginning of each ignition cycle, it is normal to
see some smoke in the firebox. The smoke will stop
once the fire starts.
2. The convection blower will automatically turn on after
your appliance has been burning for approximately
10 minutes. This blower transfers heat from your
appliance into the room, and will continue to run after
the thermostat has stopped calling for heat until the
appliance has cooled down.
3. Occasionally the appliance may run out of fuel and shut
itself down. When this happens, the red call light will
be on. See Figure 10.2, page 10. To restart it, fill the
hopper and press the reset button. See Figure 10.1,
page 10. When you press the reset button the red call
light will go out. Release the button and the light will
come back on. You should see a fire shortly. If not,
follow the instructions on page 10, of "Starting Your
First Fire".
