Press the “OFF” button on the control pad to put the stove in shut down mode. At this time, the red light above the pad
will illuminate. Once this is done, the auger will stop feeding pellets, but the distribution blower and exhaust blower will
continue to operate. When the internal temperature of the unit drops below the factory preset temperature, the distribution
blower and exhaust blower will cease to operate. The red light will then shut off and the unit will be completely shut down.
The hotter the unit is during its operation, the longer it will take for the stove to complete the shut down cycle. If the
stove stays on for more than 2 hours after pressing the “OFF” button and you are sure that the fire is out, the stove can
be unplugged from the outlet. After approximately 10 seconds, the unit can be re-connected to the power source and
the control board will be reset.
Operation
STArT-uP PrOCEdurE
Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or
“freshen up” a fire in this stove. Keep all such liquids well away from the stove while it is in use.
Verify that the hopper is clean and free of foreign matter.
Verify that all of the required exhaust/inlet connections have been made in accordance with this manual and that
the stove is plugged into an outlet (an outlet surge protector is highly recommended).
Fill the hopper with wood pellets; do not allow any part of the bag or any other foreign material into the hopper, as
this may jam the auger.
Ensure that all pellet matter is cleared from the hopper seating surface.
Close the hopper lid.
The unit WIll NOT feed fuel with the hopper lid open.
Make sure that the viewing door is securely closed (the safety pressure switch will not allow the stove to feed fuel
if there is no draft pressure inside the stove) .
Press the
“ON” button on the control pad and set the “hEAT SETTiNg” to your desired setting.
The stove will begin to feed fuel and the auto-start igniter will ignite the fuel in approximately 5 minutes.
Once a consistent flame has been established, you can adjust the “HEAT RANGE” and “BLOWER SPEED” on the con-
trol pad to your desired settings. (Note: The distribution blower will not function until the heat exchanger in the stove
reaches the factory preset temperature).

First Fire: Adjust the “hEAT rANgE” and “BLOwEr SPEEd” to a “3” setting and allow the stove
to operate in this manner for approximately three (3) hours (or more if necessary), allowing the stove to
“cure out” as the paint and oils from the manufacturing process burn off. We recommend that you open
doors and windows in your home during this process. Adjust setting to desired setting.
WARNING: Never shut down this unit by unplugging it from the power source.
