NOTE: Every bag of pellets you use may be different. Certain pellets will be
heavier and won't want to move around in the firepot. Some pellets
will be wet, and take longer to burn. While other pellets will be
"dirtier" and produce a darker smoke. Pellets will even vary from
bag to bag. If uncertain on where to set the A
IR C ONTROL , it is best
to pull the A IR C ONTROL out too far then to push it in too far.
HINT: Generally, the label on the A IR C ONTROL should be showing RED
on HIGH, ORANGE on MEDIUM, and YELLOW on LOW.
Step 3: Adjust the FAN Dial
The Fan dial controls the amount of heated air that is blown out of the heat exchange tubes above
the door. Generally, the higher the B
URN R ATE the higher the FAN dial should be set.
T URNING OFF THE H EATER

may lead to smoke in your room.

through these tubes by the
convection fan.

clicking sound as it turns
the auger motor on and off.
