G. Filling the Hopper with Fuel
NOTICE: RAISED PLATFORM INSTALLATIONS
Consideration must be given for fi lling the hopper with fuel
when determining the height of the raised platform. It must
not be so high that it interferes with the safety of fi lling the
hopper with fuel.
1. Start-Up Cycle
During this cycle:
• Igniter turns on for 90 seconds to heat up the air in the
fi repot
• Combustion blower starts
• Vacuum switch comes on
• Feed motor turns on adding fuel to the fi repot and the
appliance waits for the fi re to start
The duration of start-up depends on the type and quality
of fuel used. It is normal to see some smoke during the
ignition process as moisture evaporates and the fuel lights.
The smoke will stop once the fi re starts.
H. Starting Your First Fire
1. Fuel Selection
To start your fi rst fi re, you must:
• Select the appropriate fuel on the FUEL SELECTION screen
on the thermostat wall control to match the fuel you have
chosen to burn.
• If the proper fuel is not selected your appliance will not
operate properly.
• For example, if you have selected wood pellets and you are
burning corn, the appliance may not light, it may go out or
overfeed. Figure 10.1.
NOTE: If you are lighting your appliance for the fi rst time:
• The feed tube will be empty and it can take some time to fi ll
it with fuel before you will see a fi re
• Put a handful of fuel in the fi repot (priming) to speed up the
process. You can also do this when you have run com-
pletely out of fuel.

The duration and characteristics of these cycles may be dif-
ferent with each type of fuel selected.

Once your fuel is selected, select the temperature at the desired
setting on the SET COMFORT LEVEL screen. Figure 10.2.

WARNING! RISK OF FIRE!
Do NOT operate appliance:
• With appliance door open
• With fi repot fl oor open
• With ash pan removed
• Without the two slide rail attachment bolts secured to
fi replace
• Check the hopper and make sure it is empty before fi lling
with fuel.
• Open the front to expose the hopper door. Pull down on the
hopper door to open and fi ll with fuel. The hopper door can
now serve as a shelf to support the bag of fuel
• Do not over fi ll the hopper. The hopper door must be com-
pletely closed to maintain proper vacuum and for the feed
motor to operate. An error ICON will appear on the wall
control if the hopper door is not properly closed.

fi lling hopper.
