Helpful Hints
1. Fines are small pieces of broken pellets (sawdust). Fines do not
flow easily and often build up on the hopper funnel bottom angles.
These fines can be pushed into the feeder opening and then fill
the hopper with pellets. As the system works, they will be burned.
2. The "TEST" cycle will operate the feeder motor for exactly one
minute. Turning to "TEST" again and again may feed too much fuel
into the burn pot causing excessive smoke on start-up.
3. The firebox low pressure switch will not allow the auger motor or
the igniter element to operate if the view door is open.
4. Adjust Feed Rate. If this is your first fire or you are trying different
pellets, set the feed adjuster to #4, Fig. 3. This is a conservative
number and will probably need to be increased. After you know a
feed rate setting that works well, use that setting. Remember, if your
feed rate is too high you may waste fuel.
5. This is usually a weekly maintenance procedure. Cleaning the
burn pot with the scraper with a small amount of new fuel in the
bottom is not a problem. First, scrape the ashes on the front of the
burn pot into the ash pan. Then scrape the holed surface downward
into the burn pot. When the stove is ignited these scrapings will be
pushed out by the feeder.
6. The ash pan can hold the ashes from approximately 1 ton of
premium fuel. This means the ashes will only need to be emptied
a few times a year.
7. Setting the feed adjuster # for maximum burn: With the unit
burning in "AUTO", turn to "Stove Mode" and put the fan on "H".
Set the Temperature Dial to #7. Allow the unit to burn for about 30
minutes and check ash on front of burn pot. Fig. 4. If the ash line is
larger than 1", turn the feed adjuster from #4 to #5. Allow another
30 minutes of burn time and check again. If , at #6 setting, a 1" or
less ash bed is not obtainable, it is not a problem. The 1" ash bed
is only a maximum burn rate and at most normal settings the ash
bed will be larger.

seals and gaskets in good condition.
Use only the burn pot, as supplied in the firebox, to
support or contain the burning fuel. No other form of
grate or rack is permitted.
1. Turn mode Selector to "OFF".
2. Fill hopper with pellets.
3. Clean burn pot with scraper, if necessary.
4. If starting after an empty hopper, turn Feed
Adjuster to "TEST" (for one 60 second cycle).
will feed pellets into the auger tube and also allow you
to check the motors for operation. NOTE: The auger
motor will not operate with the view door or ash
pan door open.
