HHT will, at its option, repair or replace the covered components. HHT, at its own discretion, may fully discharge all of its
obligations under such warranties by replacing the product itself or refunding the verified purchase price of the product
itself. The maximum amount recoverable under this warranty is limited to the purchase price of the product. This warranty
is subject to conditions, exclusions and limitations as described below.
WARRANTY PERIOD:

begins on the date of first occupancy of the dwelling or six months after the sale of the product by an independent,
authorized HHT dealer/ distributor, whichever occurs earlier. The warranty shall commence no later than 24 months
following the date of product shipment from HHT, regardless of the installation or occupancy date. The warranty period for
parts and labor for covered components is produced in the following table.
The term “Limited Lifetime” in the table below is defined as: 20 years from the beginning date of warranty coverage for
gas appliances, and 10 years from the beginning date of warranty coverage for wood, pellet, and coal appliances. These

1. Smart Burn Technology (SBT)
The Smart Burn Technology system allows the thermostat to be set at the desired temperature, start the re,
load the appliance with wood and it will burn efciently
and clean with little interaction by the homeowner.
Battery Backup allows the appliance to operate without
110V but will not operate the fans.
The appliance can also be operated manually if neces-
sary.
SMART Burn Technology Activation
Pushing the button will activate the appliance and
open the air control to high.
Green Light
The green light illuminates when the button is pressed.
This is indicating that the appliance is ready for a new
re or a reload. If neither of these events happens, the
light will stay on for 2 hours and the air control will stay
open. After 2 hours of no heat rise in the appliance
then the light will go out and the air control closes to
the zero position.
If a re is started or the appliance is reloaded, the light
will stay on through the warm up cycle. If the thermo-
stat is calling for heat then the light stays green for as
long as the appliance is burning on high.
No Light
The appliance will progress into a shutdown phase
and slowly cool down and the light will turn off. Every-
thing is working OK, but the SBT button will need to be
pushed when reloading fuel.
Red Light
When the thermostat calls for heat while the appliance
is in charcoal phase, the air control will open all the way
and the red light illuminates. This is indicating that the
appliance is trying to heat the room but there is only
charcoal left and needs reloaded.

2. Thermostat Location and Wiring to Fireplace
The kit comes with a programmable wall thermostat (C1)
and 25’ of thermostat wire (C2). If you need to run more
than 25’ make sure you use a continuous strand of 18 to
22 gauge thermostat wire. For optimum performance your
thermostat should be:
• Mounted on an inside wall, approximately 5’ above the
oor
• Do not locate where there is poor air circulation such
as in a corner, alcove, behind doors, bookcase or
other objects
• Located away from drafts, direct sunlight, above a
lamp, television, radiator, a wall next to a window, or
direct heat from the appliance
• Avoid damp environments as this can lead to corrosion
that may shorten thermostat life
• If painting or construction work around, cover the
thermostat completely or wait until work is complete
before installation.
• The thermostat wire will be installed on the opposite
side of where the electric comes in at. See Figure 3.6.

Thermostat Controls
TEMPERATURE (HEAT / OFF) SWITCH:
Set this switch to HEAT to control your appliance. The
OFF position will disable the appliance.
SET (MULTI- FUNCTION) SLIDE SWITCH:
This provides easy access to common settings, and should
always remain in RUN unless items are being adjusted.
NOTE: When thermostat is set to “Manual” non-program-
mable mode, all positions of the SET slide switch
will act like RUN.
UP / DOWN BUTTONS:
The UP and DOWN buttons are used to control the set
temperature, or adjust any other on-screen items. An
items ashing, is the item currently being adjusted.
2. Use a drill with either a 3/16 drill bit for drywall or a
7/32 drill bit for plaster drill holes.
3. Using a hammer tap in wall anchors.
4. Route the wires through the opening in the base plate,
and hold the base against the wall while aligning up
to the holes. Attach base plate using a Phillips head
screwdriver and two screws (C2).
5. Connect your thermostat wire to the W and R termi-
nals. See Figure 3.11.
Figure 3.11
NOTE: Ensure bare wire ends are held ALL the way into
the terminal block while the screws are being
tightened.
6. There are two AA ALKALINE ONLY batteries already
installed into the thermostat; to activate, remove black
plastic tab that is located inside the battery compart-
ment.
HOLD BUTTON:
This button activates and deactivates the manual Temperature HOLD feature, which maintains a xed set tempera-
ture indenitely without following a program routine.
COPY BUTTON:
This is used to copy temperature program items from one
day to the next. Also used to access the menu setup.
NEXT BUTTON:
This is used when setting items such as software options,
and temperature programs when they are ashing on the
screen. Pressing the NEXT button will cycle through which
item is ashing.

Thermostat Setup Options
Setup options for how the thermostat will function are performed using a menu on the display screen.
TO ACCESS THE SETUP MENU:
Move the System Mode Switch into the OFF position, and
then hold down the COPY button for approximately 5 sec-
onds until the screen changes. The menu will always start
with item #01, and is advanced to each following item by a
single press of the NEXT button. The options for each item
are changed using the UP or DOWN buttons.
ITEM #01 (CLK = CLOCK FORMAT):
• 12Hr, default: This displays the clock times using standard AM and PM values.
• 24Hr: This displays the clock times using the militarytime format (example 22:00 hours, without using AM
or PM).
• Use the UP/DOWN buttons to change the number
value between 1 and 9. Generally your system should
cycle on about 3 to 6 times per hour. A smaller differential number makes the system cycle more frequently, so the room temperature is more precise and
constant. A larger differential number will make the
system remains on for a longer duration each time and
decreases the number of cycles per hour.
• Default is set to 4.
Operating Instructions
SET DAY AND TIME:
Place the SET switch into the DAY/TIME position. With
the day ashing press UP or DOWN to set the day or the
week. Press NEXT and the clock time will start ashing.
Use UP or DOWN to set the time; verify the AM/PM indicator is correct. Return the SET switch to RUN position when
nished.
ITEM #02 (TMP = TEMPERATURE SCALE):
• F, default: Shows all temperature values in Fahrenheit.
• C: Shows all temperature values Celsius.
ITEM #03 (PROGRAMMING STYLE):
• 7 Day, default: This style uses a separate program
routine for each of the 7 days in the week.
• 5/2 Day: This style uses a weekday program routine
for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
and a separate weekend program routine for Saturday
and Sunday.
• Manual Non-Programmable: In this setting, there are
no program routines for the thermostat to follow and
the temperature control will be set only by the UP and
DOWN buttons on the front panel.
ITEM #04 (PERD = EVENT OR PERIOD QUANTITY):
• 4P, default: Thermostat uses four Events per day
(called MORN, DAY, EVE, and NITE).
• 2P: The thermostat uses two Events per day (called
DAY and NITE).
NOTE: Event or Period Quantity feature is not accessible
during Manual Non-Programmable mode.
ITEM #07 (DLAY = DELAY TIME):
• 5, default: Thermostat waits 5 minutes before turning
the system back on after it was last run. This internal delay prevents the appliance from turning on too
quickly after shutting down. The 5 minute setting is
ne for most applications.
• 2: Same operation as above but reduced to 2 minutes
between state changes. NOTE: This delay does not
happen when the thermostat is manually turned up
and down.
ITEM #08 (TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL):
• The thermostat works by turning your heating system
on and off whenever the room temperature varies
from the desired set-point temperature.
HEATING:
Basic operation of the thermostat can be obtained with the
SET switch in the RUN position. The temperature can be
adjusted using the UP and DOWN buttons. When the thermostat is rst powered on, it will follow a default tempera-
ture routine that is preset from the factory.
Event Time Temperature
MORN 6:00 AM 70°F (21°C)
DAY 8:00 AM 62°F (17°C)
EVE 6:00 PM 70°F (21°C)
NITE 10:00 PM 62°F (17°C)
LCD DISPLAY BACKLIGHT:
The display screen is lighted to assist viewing at nighttime, or in locations with low light levels. Press any button
on the front panel to activate the approximate 10 second
backlight.
TEMPERATURE OVERRIDE:
While thermostat is in RUN mode, the set temperature can
be temporarily changed by pressing UP or DOWN. The
temporarily changed set temperature will return to the programmed value stored in memory when start time of the
next upcoming scheduled event is reached (MORN, DAY,
EVE, OR NITE). While the temporary changed set temperature is in effect, the word OVERRIDE will be shown
on the display screen. To cancel, move TEMPERATURE
switch to OFF and back to HEAT again.
TEMPERATURE HOLD:
Temperature hold is used for maintaining a xed set
temperature; once a HOLD is initiated, the thermostat
will maintain the set temperature indenitely. To enter a
HOLD state, press the HOLD button one time and the
word HOLD will appear on the display. To cancel, press
the HOLD button once again.
