Operation

Be sure the unit is plugged into a 120 V.A.C., 60
Hz receptacle.
Test Motor Operation
Turn feed rate knob from off to TURBO. The com
bustion blower and feeder motor will run. Look at the
end of the auger shaft in the bottom of the burn pot for
rotation. Feel the air coming out of the burn pot hole for
combustion blower operation.
Turn the fan control to high for distribution blower
operation. If the test mode does not last long enough,
simply recycle to OFF and back to TURBO.
Starting a Fire
1.Fill the hopper with DRY coal (Rice sized
anthricite or same sized low volitity bituminous
coal).
2. Fill the burn pot with DRY coal so that it is level
with the bottom row of holes. (The combustion air
comes only from the burn pot holes; therefore, any
starting material must be over the holes.) See Figure
16.
3. Add desired starting material ( crushed char-
coal, wood pellets, or manufactured coal starting
block) over the remaining holes. See Figure 17.
Wood pellets are shown in Figure 17.
4. Add more DRY coal around the starting material
but not covering it. See Figure 18. Turning the knob
passed the "OFF" position starts the combustion
blower and makes the stove ready to light. The
distribution blower and feed motor will also run for
one minute or less just to let you know they are
operational.
5. Light the fire, close all doors, and latch the
hopper lid.
6. Turn the feed rate knob to a setting between #3
and #5, depending on how much air the starting
material needs to burn properly to start the coal.
7. Adjust the feed rate to the desired setting when
the coal is visibly burning.
Note: As the temperature of the fire increases, the
distribution blower and feeder motor will start
automatically.
The unit control has a fan limit which may briefly turn
the distribution fan on high upon start up.
