HOW YOUR STOVE WORKS

Your pellet stove utilizes a inclined

auger fuel feed system that is

operated

microprocessor

controlled

digital

circuit

The digital circuit board allows the

inclined auger fuel feed system to

run in a timer-based, non-continuous

cycle; this cycling allows the auger

to run for a predetermined period

of seconds. The auger pushes pellets

up a chute located at the front/

bottom of the hopper which in turn

falls through another chute into the

burnpot. Your stove is equipped

with an automatic ignition system

that should ignite the fuel within 5-10

minutes from pressing the ON button.

As pellets enter the burn pot and ignite, outside air is drawn across the fuel and heated during the combustion

process which is then pulled through the heat exchanger by the exhaust motor or draft fan. As the stove heats

up, room air is circulated around the heat exchanger by means of a room air blower, distributing warm air into

the room.

The amount of heat produced by the stove is proportional to the rate of the fuel that is burned, and this rate

is controlled by the "HEAT RANGE" setting. In order to maintain combustion of the fuel at a desired rate, the air

provided to the burn chamber by the exhaust or draft fan must be maintained precisely. Too little air will result

in a flame that is non-energetic or lazy. If the fuel continues to flow with too little air for long enough, the burn

pot will fill with too much fuel and the fire will smother out. To much air will result in a flame that is overactive

or aggressive. The flame in this situation is typically very blue at the bottom and resembles a blow torch. If this

situation continues, the fuel in the burn pot will be consumed and the fire will go out.

Matching the amount of air required for proper combustion to the fuel rate is the primary objective in effectively

burning pellets of various brands and qualities in your stove. The air to fuel ratio can be adjusted to allow almost

any fuel quality to burn effectively by following the procedures detailed in the remainder of this manual.

Because a forced draft pressure is required for the combustion process inside your stove, it is extremely important

that the exhaust system be properly installed and maintained. And, that when operating your stove, you make

sure that the viewing door is properly sealed.

PANEL/REMOTE CONTROLS

The operation of this appliance can be controlled from the panel located on the side of the

stove and/or by the remote control. The control functions are as follows:

ON/OFF SWITCH ("POWER" BUTTON)

• When pushed, the stove will automatically ignite. No other fire starter is necessary. The

igniter will stay on for at least 10 and up to 12 minutes, depending on when Proof of Fire is

reached. The fire should start in approximately 5 minutes.

• After pushing "POWER", the auger motor is on for 3.5 minutes, off for 1 minute. During the

remainder of the start-up period, the auger motor operates on the heat range "1" setting.

• During start up the heat level advance (Up and Down keys) will change the heat range

indicator level accordingly, but there is no change in the stoves operating conditions until

start-up is completed.

• During start-up ignition must occur within 12 minutes or the stove will error out and show E3.

• During the start-up phase, the Mode key does not function.

HEAT RANGE ARROW BUTTONS

• These buttons when pushed will set the pellet feed rate, hence the heat output or heat

range of your stove. When using the hand-held remote this function can be performed with

the "Up/Down" buttons.

• The levels of heat output will incrementally change on the bar graph starting from heat

range "1" to heat range "5".
