dwelling.
3. Starting the Stove: Push a Heat Range button (Low or
Medium is best for start up) (Figure 13) and turn the
therm ostat up to “Call for heat”. The stove fan will begin to
operate along with the ignitor cycle. After about a m inute

will begin to heat up. W hen the stove reaches start up
operating tem perature it will then switch to the control

turning the button clockwise you can increase the feed on
LOW and by turning it counterclockwise you can decrease
the feed in the LOW position. Factory setting is 9:00 o’clock.
Once the stove is at operating tem perature for one hour
set the stove on LOW . Adjust the trim button so that
average flam e is approx. 1-2" above the burn pot. This
w ill set the average feed rate (air/flue) for best
operation.
M ove this button carefully! It is designed to fine tune your
LOW setting in the event you change brands of pellets
and/or live at a higher elevation. If this setting is to low the
stove m ay go out during LOW setting operations. If this
should happen increase the trim by sm all am ount.
