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 fire pot.

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

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 flame 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 fire pot and ash pan are filling quickly. This will cause the auto-clean system to empty the fire 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.

Changing to Different Fuel Type

•Empty the hopper of the previous fuel

•Thoroughly vacuum hopper before filling 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.

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 satisfied, the red call light will shut off 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 off 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 off.

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 fire protection, venting and thermostat installation instructions.

2.Double check that the ash drawer and firebox 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.

G. Hopper Lid and Hopper Switch

1.Lift up the hopper lid; now you can fill 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 fire to go out (Figure 11.1).

NOTE: The hopper switch is activated by a magnet attached to the Hopper Lid.

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 fire, most of the pellets in the hopper will need to be removed so start out with filling 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.

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

7.For your first fire 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 fire pot. This will fill the feed system and allow the appliance to begin dropping pellets. Or you can put a handful of pellets in the fire 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.

I. Fire Characteristics

A properly adjusted fire with the heat output control switch set on “high” has a short active flame pattern that extends out of the firepot approximately

4 to 8 inches (102 to 203mm).

If the fire has tall flames 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 fire 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 flame. The flame 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 flame height or push down to decrease the feed rate and flame height.

3.Re-tighten the thumb screw. A new stove has a break in period. The fire 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 firebox. The smoke will stop once the fire 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, fill 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 fire pot.

-You should see a fire shortly. If not, follow the instructions, for Starting Your First Fire on page 11.
