Manual Start Up
Starting First Fire
Igniter Switch to"MANUAL" (down position)
Make sure the unit is plugged into a 120
VAC, 60 HZ electrical source. The power light
should be the only light lit.
1. Turn FEED ADJUSTER to desired feed
rate. No. 4 is good for most pellets.

2. Turn the MODE SELECTOR
to “OFF” and
then to the desired mode. This will reset
control and start the combustion motor.
3. Turn the TEMPERATURE DIAL to the de-
sired setting.
4. Clean burn pot with scraper if necessary.

5. Fill burn pot with pellets, only level with
front edge. (Do Not Over Fill).
6. Add starting gel on top of the pellets. Stir
gel into pellets for fast lighting.
7. Light starting gel with a match, and close
the door. Operation will begin when the fire
reaches the proper temperature.

8. Fill hopper with pellets and remove ashes
as required.

1. Fines are small pieces of broken pellets (sawdust). Fines
do not flow easily and often build up on the hopper funnel
bottom angles. These fines can be pushed into the feeder
opening and then fill the hopper with pellets. As the system
works, they will be burned.
2. The "TEST" cycle will operate the feeder motor for exactly
one minute. Turning to "TEST" again and again may purge too
much fuel into the burn pot causing excessive smoke on start-
up.
3. The firebox low pressure switch will not allow the auger
motor or the igniter element to operate if the view door or the
ash pan door are open.
4. Adjust Feed Rate. If this is your first fire or you are trying
different pellets, set the feed adjuster to #4, Fig. 5. This is a
conservative number and will probably need to be increased.
After you know a feed rate setting that works well, use that
setting. Remember, if your feed rate is too high you may waste
fuel.
5. This is usually a weekly maintence procedure. Cleaning the
burn pot with the scraper with a small amount of new fuel in the
bottom is not a problem. First, scrape the ashes on the front of
the burn pot into the ash pan. Then scrape the holed surface
downward into the burn pot. When the stove is ignited these
scrapings will be pushed out by the feeder.
6. The ash pan can hold the ashes from approximately 1 ton of
premium fuel. This means the ashes will only need to be
emptied a few times a year.
7. Setting the feed adjuster # for maximum burn: With the unit
burning in "AUTO", turn to "Stove Mode" and put the fan on "H".
Set the Temperature Dial to #7. Allow the unit to burn for about
30 minutes and check ash on front of burn pot. Fig. 9. If the ash
line is larger than 1", turn the feed adjuster from #4 to #5. Allow
another 30 minutes of burn time and check again. If , at #6
setting, a 1" or less ash bed is not obtainable, i t is not a
problem. The 1" ash bed is only a maximum burn rate and at
most normal settings the ash bed will be larger.

NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN
FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR
SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR 'FRESHEN UP' A
FIRE IN THIS HEATER. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS

Warning
Notice when using Optional Battery Back-Up:
If a power outage is expected, change the toggle
switch to Manual Mode. The Harman 502H Battery
Backup is incapable of powering the igniter. If an
automatic ignition is attempted while the stoves is
being powered by the battery back up, it may cause
damage to both the stove and the battery backup
unit.
