2 Operating Instructions
WARNING
Fire Risk.
• Do not operate appliance before reading and
understanding operating instructions.
• Failure to operate appliance properly may cause
a house re.
A. Fire Safety
To provide reasonable re safety, the following should be
given serious consideration:
• Install at least one smoke detector on each oor of your
home.
• Install at least one carbon monoxide detector on each oor
of your home.
• Locate smoke detector away from the heating appliance
and close to the sleeping areas.
• Follow the smoke detector manufacturer’s placement and
installation instructions and maintain regularly.
• Follow the carbon monoxide manufacturer’s placement and
installation instructions and maintain regularly.
• 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 - Glass - Tile
- Brick - Iron - Slate - Concrete
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:
- Compressed Paper - Wood - Plywood/OSB
- Sheet Rock (drywall) - Plastic - Plant Fibers
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. 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.
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 or high ash pellets
Lower Ash Content Material
• Most softwoods
• Fuels with low mineral content
• Most premium grade pellets
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 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 feed rate may need adjusting
occasionally
Performance
• Higher ash content requires the re pot and the ash drawer
to be emptied more frequently
• Hardwoods require more air to burn properly
• 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 or
feed jams.
Storage
• Wood pellets should be left in their original sealed bag until
using to prevent moisture absorption
• Do not store any pellet fuel within the clearance requirements
or in an area that would hinder routine cleaning and

installed and that all safety requirements have been met.
Pay particular attention to the re protection and venting.
2. Double check that the rebox is empty and the re pot
oor is fully closed.
3. Close and latch the door.
F. Filling the Hopper
Open the hopper lid by lifting the handle. Fill the hopper
with fuel. Close the hopper lid. The appliance will not feed
with the hopper lid open and the re will go out.
G. User Dial Control
The appliance has one dial control located on the side of
the appliance (behind a drop door) used for changing the
heat setting and restarting the appliance. There are ve
heat settings on this dial ranging to include: LOW, MEDLOW, MED, MED-HIGH, and HIGH. Figure 10.1
Turn the dial control to the desired heat setting and turn the
appliance ON and OFF using the remote thermostat.
H. Normal Startup Sequence
The appliance will go into the ignition sequence followed by
a start up sequence (the green LED will ash rapidly).
The ignition sequence involves the exhaust blower and
igniter turning on, and the feed motor running in two stages.
The rst stage involves the feed motor running continu ously
for about one minute to begin loading pellets into the re
pot. In the second stage, the feed motor will begin cycling
on and off.
I. Fire pot Purge
Purpose: To help remove debris from the re pot and help
the appliance burn as efcient as possible.
The frequency of the purge cycle is once every 30 minutes
while the appliance is burning. During the re pot purge, the
feed is reduced to the lowest setting and exhaust blower
ramps up to a very high setting. The purge cycle lasts 99
seconds.
The purge cycle does not replace daily cleaning.
J. Shutdown
To shut the appliance down, turn the dial control to OFF or
turn the thermostat to OFF. During the shutdown process,
the light will ash amber or green rapidly.
Unlike the re pot purge, during shutdown existing fuel in
the re pot will continue to burn without the feed motor run-
ning; but, the exhaust and convection blowers will remain
on until the exhaust has cooled.
NOTE: If maintenance or daily cleaning is going to be
conducted immediately following a shutdown, please use
caution as components especially those inside the rebox
may still be hot.
Due to safety precautions:
• If the dial control is turned to OFF and back on (even if
by mistake) the appliance will go through the shutdown
sequence before restarting.
• Additionally, if the remote thermostat is set to “OFF” or
“THERMOFF” during operation the appliance will go
through a shutdown sequence before restarting.
Figure 9.1
When the pellets are warming - on the verge of igniting - it
is not uncommon for the rebox to ll with smoke.
Once ignition happens, the smoke should quickly disappear. During this stage, as well as any part during the burn
process, the front door should not be opened.
This startup cycle continues until the appliance senses ignition by a rise in the exhaust temperature or the appliance
times out. Following the ignition cycle the appliance contin-
ues to feed pellets to build up the re.
After warming up, the convection blower will begin to blow
warm air into the room. As the appliance increases heat
the blower will increase its output.

K. Fire Characteristics
The overall height of the ame will vary throughout the burn
for a couple of reasons:
1) The ame will vary based on type of fuel or batch of
fuel.
2) The appliance adjusts the burn rate according to the
dial setting – the further the dial is rotated clockwise the
higher the ame and consequently, heat output.
3) General maintenance and cleaning. Infrequent or poor
general maintenance will result in poorer performance.
Indicators for additional maintenance activities include:
• Lazy ame
• Black-sooted glass
• Pellets not igniting
• Excess pellets fall ing to the side of the re pot.
• DO NOT touch glass until it is cooled.
• NEVER allow children to touch glass.
• Keep children away.
• CAREFULLY SUPERVISE children in same room as
• Alert children and adults to hazards of high temperatures.
High temperatures may ignite clothing or other
ammable materials.
• Keep clothing, furniture, draperies and other ammable
NOTICE: If you expect that children may come into contact
with this appliance, we recommend a barrier such as a decorative screen. See your retailer for suggestions.
