Santa Fe Pellet Stove
F. Fire Characteristics
A properly adjusted fi re with the heat output control switch
set on "high" has a short active fl ame pattern that extends
out of the fi repot approximately 4 inches (102mm). If the fi re
has tall fl ames with black tails and seems somewhat lazy,
the feed rate will need to be reduced. This is done by sliding
the fuel adjustment control rod down, which will reduce the
feed. If the fi re is not 4 inches (102mm) tall, slide the fuel
adjustment control rod up to increase the feed. A medium
and low setting will give a shorter fl ame. The fl ame will rise
and fall somewhat. This is normal.
G. Feed Rate Adjustment Instructions
The feed adjustment control rod is factory set, and should
be adequate for most fuels. However, if the flame height is
too high or too low, you will need to adjust the feed rate. Wait
until the appliance has been burning for 15 minutes before
making your adjustments and allow 15 minutes for feed
adjustment to take effect.
1. Loosen the set screw 1/4 to 1/2 turn during set-up
of appliance. This will allow movement of the feed
adjustment control rod. Do not re-tighten set screw.
2. Loosen the wing nut.
3. Adjust the feed adjustment control rod upward towards the
"+" symbol to increase the feed rate and fl ame height or
down towards the "-" symbol, to decrease the feed rate
and fl ame height.
4. Re-tighten the wing nut.

H. Iginition Cycles
1. At the beginning of each ignition cycle, it is normal to
see some smoke in the fi rebox. The smoke will stop
once the fi re starts.
2. The convection blower will automatically turn on after
your appliance has been burning for approximately
10 minutes. This blower transfers heat from your
appliance into the room, and will continue to run after
the thermostat has stopped calling for heat until the
appliance has cooled down.
3. Occasionally the appliance may run out of fuel and shut
itself down. When this happens, the red call light will
be on. See Figure 24.2, page 24. To restart it, fi ll the
hopper and press the reset button. See Figure 24.1,
page 24. When you press the reset button the red call
light will go out. Release the button and the light will
come back on. You should see a fi re shortly. If not,
follow the instructions on page 24, of "Starting Your
First Fire".
