THE AUTOMATIC FIRESTARTER
a. Fill hopper and clean burnpot.
b. Press "On/Off" button. Make sure light is on.
c. The damper should be completely closed or open no more than 1/4" during start-up. This will vary depending
on your installation and elevation. Once fire is established, adjust for desired flame increasing the amount
the damper is open as the heat setting is increased. (See "DAMPER CONTROL")
d. Adjust feed rate to desired setting by pressing "Heat Level Advance" button.
If fire doesn't start in 15 minutes, press "On/Off", wait a few minutes, clear the burnpot, and start procedure
again.
DAMPER CONTROL
The damper control rod on the stove's lower left side adjusts the combustion air. This control is necessary due to
the varied burn characteristics of individual installations, different pellet brands and pellet feed rates. It allows you
to improve the efficiency of your stove. Providing correct combustion air will reduce the frequency of cleaning
your glass door and prevent the rapid buildup of creosote inside your stove and chimney. You should adjust
the damper based on the fire's appearance. A low, reddish, dirty fire can be improved by pulling the damper
out slightly. A "blow torch" fire can be improved by pushing the damper in a bit. Do not alter the damper for
increased firing for any reason.
As a general rule, on lower feed rate settings, the damper should be in farther. On higher feed rates, the damper
should be more open. Through trial and error, you will find the best setting. Consult your dealer if you need help.
NOTE: On "1", damper should be either completely closed or out approximately 1/8" to 1/4". If damper is out
too far, it can cause the fire to go out.
OPENING DOOR
If the door is opened while the stove is in operation, it must be closed within 30 seconds or the stove will shut
down. If the stove shuts down, push the "On/Off" button to re-start your stove.
ROOM AIR FAN
When starting your stove, the Room Air Fan will not come on until the stove's heat exchanger warms up. This
usually takes about 10 minutes from start-up.
RE-STARTING A WARM STOVE
If the stove has been shut off, and you want to re-start it while it is still warm, the "On/Off" button must be held
down for 2 seconds.
IF STOVE RUNS OUT OF PELLETS
The fire goes out and the auger motor and blowers will run until the stove cools. This will take 30 to 45 minutes.
After the stove components stop running, the "On/Off" and the Bar Graph lights stay on for 10 minutes. After the
10 minutes, the "3" light on the bar graph will flash and the "On/Off" light will go off. To re-start, refill hopper and
press "Fuel Feed" button until pellets begin to fall into burnpot. Press "On/Off" button.
REFUELING
We recommend that you not let the hopper drop below 1/4" full. KEEP HOPPER LID CLOSED AT ALL TIMES EXCEPT
WHEN REFILLING. DO NOT OVERFILL HOPPER.
MAINTENANCE TOOL
A tool has been provided to help with the following functions:
a. Stirring pellets in hopper - unlike liquids in a tank, pellets do not drain evenly into the auger. Bridging across
the opening can occur . Pellets can hang up on the sides of the hopper. Occasionally "stirring" the hopper
can help. NOTE: To help prevent bridging of pellets, common wax paper can be rubbed on the sidewalls
and bottom of the hopper.
b. Scrape ashes from burnpot.
SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE
Turning your stove off us a matter of pressing the "On/Off" control panel switch. The red light will go out. The
blowers will continue to operate until internal firebox temperatures have fallen to a preset level.
