OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
OPTIMAL OPERATION
This pellet stove has been certified by the US EPA to
meet strict 2020 guidelines. To ensure this unit produces
the optimal minimal emissions, it is critical to follow the
following guidelines. To achieve a "high burn" your stove
should be set on setting 5 with the damper 50% closed.
To achieve a "medium burn" your stove should be set
on setting 3 with the damper 50% closed. To achieve a
"low burn" your stove should be set on setting 1 with the
damper closed. If the door is opened while the stove is
in operation it must be closed within 30 seconds or the
stove will shut down. If the stove shuts down push the
"On/Off" button to re-start your stove. The stove will
have to fully shut down and turn off before you will be
able to restart the stove.
AUTOMATIC IGNITOR
1.
Fill hopper and clean burn pot.
2. Press "On/Off" button. Make sure green light comes
on.
3. The damper should be completely closed or open no
more than 1/4 of the way during start-up. This will
vary depending on your installation and elevation.
Once fire is established adjust for desired flame
increasing the amount the damper is open as the
heat setting is increased (see "Damper Control")
4. Adjust feed rate to desired setting by pressing "Heat
Level Advance" button.
5. If fire doesn't start in 12 minutes, press "On/Off", wait
a few minutes, clear the burn pot, and start procedure
again.
DAMPER CONTROL
The damper control lever is located on the back of the
stove. The dampener adjusts the combustion air. This
control is necessary due to the varied burn characteristics
of individual installations, different pellet brands and
pellet feed rates. It allows you to improve the efficiency of
your stove. Providing correct combustion air will reduce
the frequency of cleaning your glass door and prevent the
rapid buildup of creosote inside your stove and chimney.
You should adjust the damper based on the fire's
appearance. A low, reddish, dirty fire can be improved by
turning the dampener slightly to the right. A "blow torch"
fire can be improved by closing the damper a bit. On higher
feed rates, the damper should be open more. Through
trial and error, you will find the best setting. Consult your
dealer if you need help. NOTE: On heat range "1", damper
should be either completely closed or open no more than
a 1/4 of the way. If damper is open to far, it can cause the
fire to go out.
OPENING DOOR
• DO NOT OPERATE YOUR STOVE WITH THE
VIEWING DOOR OPEN. THE AUGER WILL NOT
FEED PELLETS UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES
AND A SAFETY CONCERN MAY ARISE FROM
SPARKS OR FUMES ENTERING THE ROOM.
• THE FEED DOOR MUST BE CLOSED AND SEALED
DURING OPERATION.
If the door is opened while the stove is in operation it
must be closed within 30 seconds or the stove will shut
down. If the stove shuts down push the "On/Off" button
to re-start your stove. The stove will have to fully shut
down and turn off before you will be able to restart the
stove.
ROOM AIR FAN
When starting your stove the Room Air Fan will not
come on until the stove's heat exchanger warms up. This
usually takes about 10 minutes from start-up.
IF STOVE RUNS OUT OF PELLETS
The fire goes out and the auger motor and blowers will
run until the stove cools. This will take 30 minutes or
longer depending on the heat remaining in the appliance.
After the stove components stop running all lights on
the display will go out and the two digit display will begin
flashing "E3"
REFUELLING
Never place your hand near the auger while the stove is
in operation. We recommend that you not let the hopper
drop below 1/4 full.
