Operation

Getting Ready

What to Expect
Combustion blower will turn on. (Panel will display "Igniting")
Igniter will heat up.
Auger system will deliver pellets into the burn pot. (Smoke may occur during ignition but will evacuate once
the flame appears in the burn pot.)
Convection blower will turn on once the stove heats up. (Panel will display "Heating")
Combustion and convection blowers will continue to run even after your stove has been shut down. (Panel
will display "Fire off" or "Cooling")
Pro Tip
Odors and vapors are released during initial startup after purchase, and may persist for several days.
Burning your stove on a higher level will speed the curing process. Open windows or doors for air
circulation until curing/burn off is complete, or perform a "pre-burn" outdoors.
During startup and operation, the stove's front door must be closed.
Priming is only required the first time the stove is lit, or after a "Low Temperature" fault due to low pellets
in the hopper. (see Pre-ignition checklist)
Understanding Your Stove
Your stove utilizes a vertical auger fuel feed system that is operated by a microprocessor controlled digital
circuit board. The digital circuit board allows the vertical auger fuel system to run in a timer based, non-
continuous cycle. This cycling allows the auger to run for a predetermined amount of time. The auger
pushes pellets up a chute located in the hopper. The pellets will then turn and fall through another chute
into the burn pot.
Your stove is equipped with an automatic ignition system that should ignite the fuel within 5 minutes of
displaying "Igniting".
As pellets fill the burn pot and ignite, outside air is drawn through the fuel and heated during the
combustion process which is then pulled across the heat exchange tubes by the exhaust motor.
As the stove reaches operating temperature, the room air is then circulated through the heat exchange
tubes by a room air blower (convection blower), distributing warm air into the room.
The amount of heat that is produced by the stove is proportional to the rate of fuel that is burned.
Because a forced draft pressure is required for the combustion process inside the stove, it is extremely
important that the exhaust system be properly installed and maintained.
Front glass and ash pan doors must remain closed while in operation and the seals on the doors must be
properly maintained.
WARNING!
Keep combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids clear of the stove.
Do NOT operate stove with door open.
Do NOT operate stove without the ash pan drawer in place.
Do NOT operate stove without burn pot in place.
Do NOT store flammable materials in the stove's vicinity.
Do NOT use gasoline, lantern fuel, kerosene, lighter fluid or similar liquids to start a fire in this
stove.
Keep all such liquids well away from the stove while it is in use, as combustible materials may
ignite.
