• Failure to operate appliance properly may

cause a house re.

Visit www.quadrare.com/shopping-tools/videos to view

product and use & care videos.

A. Fire Safety

To provide reasonable re safety, the following should be given serious consideration:

• Install at least one smoke detector and CO monitor on each oor of your home.

• Locate detectors away from the heating appliance and close to the sleeping areas.

• Follow the detector’s manufacturer’s placement and installation instructions and maintain regularly.

• A CO detector should be installed in the room with the appliance.

• Conveniently locate a Class A re extinguisher to

contend with small res.

• In the event of a hopper re:

• Evacuate the house immediately.

• Notify re department.

B. Non-Combustible Materials

Material which will not ignite and burn, composed of any

combination of the following:

- Steel

- Plaster

- Brick

- Iron

- Concrete

- Tile

- Glass

- Slate

Materials reported as passing ASTM E 136, Standard

Test Method for Behavior of Metals, in a Vertical Tube Furnace of 750° C.

C. Combustible Materials

Material made of/or surfaced with any of the

following materials:

- Wood

- Compressed Paper

- Plant Fibers

- Plastic

- Plywood/OSB

- Sheet Rock (drywall)

Any material that can ignite and burn: ame proofed or not,

plastered or non-plastered.

D. Fuel Material and Fuel Storage

Pellet fuel quality can greatly uctuate. This appliance has

been designed to burn a wide variety of fuels, giving you the choice to use the fuel that is most economical in your region.

Hearth & Home Technologies strongly recommends only using Pellet Fuel Institute (PFI) certied fuel.

Fuel Material

• Made from sawdust or wood by-products

• Depending on the source material it may have a high or low ash content.

Higher Ash Content Material

• Hardwoods with a high mineral content

• Fuel that contains bark

• Standard grade pellets, high ash pellets

Lower Ash Content Material

• Softwoods

• Fuels with low mineral content

• Premium grade pellets

CAUTION

Do not burn fuel that contains an additive; (such as soybean oil).

• May cause hopper res

• Damage to product may result

Read the ingredients list on the package. If you are

buying corn the only ingredient that should be listed is corn.

Clinkers

Minerals and other non-combustible materials such as

sand will turn into a hard, glass-like substance called a clinker when heated in the re pot.

Trees from di󰀨erent areas will vary in mineral content. That is why some fuels produce more clinkers than others.

9 04/217074-804F

Moisture

Always burn dry fuel. Burning fuel with high moisture

content takes heat from the fuel and tends to cool the

appliance, robbing heat from your home. Damp pellet fuel can clog the feed system.

Size

• Pellets are either 1/4 inch or 5/16 inch (6-8mm) in diameter

• Length should be no more that 1-1/2 inches (38mm)

• Pellet lengths can vary from lot to lot from the same manufacturer

• Due to length variations, the ame height (feed rate) may need adjusting occasionally. Refer to the section on Feed Rate Adjustment Instructions found on

page 12.

Performance

• Higher ash content requires the ash drawer to be emptied more frequently

• Hardwoods require more air to burn properly

• Set wall control to “Utility Pellet” if the re pot and ash

pan are lling quickly. This will cause the auto-clean system to empty the re pot more often.

• Premium wood pellets produce the highest heat output.

• Burning pellets longer than 1-1/2 inches (38mm) can cause an inconsistent fuel feed rate and/or

missed ignitions.

We recommend that you buy fuel in multi-ton lots whenever

possible. However, we do recommend trying various

brands before purchasing multi-ton lots to ensure your satisfaction.

E. General Operating Information

1. Thermostat Calls For Heat

The appliance is like most modern furnaces; when the

thermostat calls for heat, your appliance will automatically light and deliver heat. When the room is up to temperature

and the thermostat is satised, the red call light will shut o󰀨 and the appliance will shut down. The red call light is

located behind the left access panel.

2. Heat Output Controls

This appliance is equipped with a heat output control switch

that has three settings or burn rates; low, medium and high (Figure 10.1). The appliance will turn on and o󰀨 as the

thermostat demands. When the thermostat calls for heat,

the appliance will always start up on High. After burning

approximately 4 minutes, the appliance will then burn at the rate at which it was originally set. If the appliance is set at

one of the lower settings, it will run quieter but takes longer

to heat up an area than if it were set at a higher burn rate. Regardless of the burn rate, when the area is warm enough

to satisfy the thermostat, the appliance will shut o󰀨.

Changing to Di󰀨erent Fuel Type

• Empty the hopper of the previous fuel

• Thoroughly vacuum hopper before lling with the new fuel

• Select the appropriate setting on the

FUEL SELECTION screen on the thermostat

wall control

The burn rate, BTU content and heat output will all vary depending on the fuel selected.

CAUTION

Tested and approved for wood pellets. Burning of any other type of fuel voids your warranty.

Storage

• Wood pellets should be left in their original sealed bag until using to prevent moisture absorption.

• This will also prevent rodents from becoming a problem.

• Do not store any pellet fuel within the clearance requirements or in an area that would hinder routine cleaning and maintenance.

F. Before Your First Fire

1. First, make sure your appliance has been properly installed and that all safety requirements have been

met. Pay particular attention to the re protection,

venting and thermostat installation instructions.

2. Double check that the ash drawer and rebox are empty!

3. Check that cleaning rod is in the fully closed position.

4. Close and latch the door.

CAUTION

Tip of thermocouple must be in contact with the inside end of the thermocouple cover.

• Missed ignitions can occur.

CAUTION

HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. KEEP CHILDREN, CLOTHING AND FURNITURE AWAY. CONTACT MAY

CAUSE SKIN BURNS.

1. Lift up the hopper lid; now you can ll the hopper with fuel.

2. The hopper switch is designed to shut down the feed motor when the hopper lid is open. Leaving the lid open

too long can cause the re to go out (Figure 11.1).

NOTE: The hopper switch is activated by a magnet

attached to the Hopper Lid.

Figure 11.1

6. The fuel feed system and the igniter should now be on.

7. For your rst re it will be necessary to press the reset button once approximately 2 minutes after start up

and again in 5 minutes. Reset as needed or every 60 seconds until pellets begin to drop into re pot. This will ll the feed system and allow the appliance to begin dropping pellets. Or you can put a handful of pellets in the re pot to speed up the process. The appliance

will continue to run as long as the thermostat is calling for heat.

8. Once the appliance has ignited, let it burn for

approximately 15 minutes, then set the thermostat to

the desired room temperature. Adjust the heat output control switch to the desired setting.

H. Starting Your First Fire

CAUTION

Odors and vapors released during initial operation.

• Curing of high temperature paint.

• Open windows for air circulation.

Odors may be irritating to sensitive individuals.

1. A thermostat is required for proper operation of this appliance. If you have to adjust the feed rate after

you have started the re, most of the pellets in the hopper will need to be removed so start out with lling

the hopper approximately 1/4 full at this time. Set the thermostat to its lowest setting and plug the power cord into nearby outlet.

2. The exhaust blower will stay on for approximately 18 minutes even though the thermostat is not calling for heat. This is normal.

3. Locate the heat output control switch mounted on

the back of the appliance in the upper left corner

(Figure 10.1 on page 10).

4. Turn it to the “high” setting by pushing the top of the control switch in and then adjust the thermostat to its highest setting.

5. Look through the hole in the left lower side panel and

you will see the red call light on the control box will be on (Figure 11.2). This indicates the thermostat is calling for heat.

I. Fire Characteristics

A properly adjusted re with the heat output control switch set on “high” has a short active ame pattern that extends out of the repot approximately

4 to 8 inches (102 to 203mm).

If the re has tall 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 (Figure 12.2).

If the re is not 4 to 8 inches (102 to 203mm) tall, slide

the fuel adjustment control rod up to increase the feed. A

medium and low setting will give a shorter ame. The ame

will rise and fall somewhat. This is normal.

J. Feed Rate Adjustment Instructions

1. Loosen the thumb screw.

2. Pull the feed adjustment control rod up to increase the

feed rate and ame height or push down to decrease the feed rate and ame height.

3. Re-tighten the thumb screw. A new stove has a break in period. The re characteristics should be checked again after 5 bags of pellets and adjustments made

if necessary.

K. Ignition Cycles

1. At the beginning of each ignition cycle, it is normal to

see some smoke in the rebox. The smoke will stop once the 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 (Figure 11.2 on page 11).

- To restart it, ll the hopper and press the reset button. When you press the reset button the red call light will go out. Release the button and the

light will come back on. Continue pushing the

button once a minute until pellets begin to fall into

the re pot.

- You should see a re shortly. If not, follow the instructions, for Starting Your First Fire on

page 11.
