H. Starting Your First Fire
1. A thermostat is required for proper operation of this
appliance. At this time, fill the hopper with pellets, set
the thermostat to its lowest setting. Plug the power cord
into nearby outlet.
2. The exhaust blower will stay on for approximately 18
minutes even though the thermostat is not calling for
heat. This is normal.
3. Locate the heat output control switch on the lower right
side of the firebox in front of the right access panel. Set
to the HIGH setting and then adjust the thermostat to
its highest setting. The red call light will be on which is
located on the front of the junction box behind the left
access panel. This indicates the thermostat is calling
for heat (Figure 10.1 on page 10).
4. The fuel feed system and the igniter should now be on.
5. For your first fire it will be necessary to press the reset
button once a minute 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.
WARNING
Fire Risk
Do NOT operate appliance:
•
With appliance door open.
•
Fire pot floor open.
•
Cleaning slide plates open.
Do NOT store fuel:
•
Closer than required clearances to
combustibles to appliance
•
Within space required for loading or
ash removal.
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
(102-105mm). If the fire has tall flames with black tails
and seems somewhat lazy, the feed rate will need to be
reduced. If the fire is not 4 inches to 6 inches (102-105mm)
tall, increase the feed rate. 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 by only loosening the wing
nut (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 wing nut (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 wing nut.
