Operation
Starting First Fire
Be sure the power cord is plugged into a 120 volt
receptacle. This can be verified by the red power
light on the control panel.
Fill the hopper with pellets, fig. 12.
Fill the burn pot with pellets to a level just short
of overflowing, fig. 8.
Adjust feed rate. If this is your first fire or you
are trying different pellets, set the feed adjuster
to "3", fig. 9. 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, too high a feed rate will
waste fuel.
Turn Mode selector to "OFF" and then to
"Stove Temp". This will turn the combustion
blower to high. When starting a fire always turn
the mode selector to "OFF" before selecting the
desired mode. This resets the control for start-
up.
Turn Temp Dial to 7. This will allow the stove to
burn at maximum for feed rate adjusting pur-
poses.
Apply starting gel to pellets in burn pot and light
the gel. Close the door after lighting. At this
point the distribution and combustion lights will
be on and the feed motor light will be off. As the
temperature of the fire increases, the feed motor
light will come on and pellets will feed into the
burn pot. As the stove temperature increases the
distribution blower speed will increase.
After 30 to 45 minutes it may be necessary to
readjust the feed rate. The feed rate should be
adjusted so there is about one inch of ash in
front of the fire, fig. 10A. This is a maximum
burn position and usually does not achieve this
position under normal burn rates.
