Operating Instructions
OPERATION: When the thermostat contacts close, the unit will light automatically. Once up to
temperature, the stove operates the same as in MANUAL. When the thermostat contacts open, the stove’s
HEAT LEVEL and Fans will drop down to the LOW setting for 30 minutes. If the thermostat contacts close
within the 30 minutes, the HEAT LEVEL will return to the previous MANUAL setting. If the thermostat
contacts remain open, the stove automatically begins its shutdown routine. The stove will re-light when
the thermostat contacts close again.
TURNING YOUR PELLET STOVE OFF:
• MANUAL and HI / LOW mode: To turn the unit OFF, simply press the ON / OFF button. This will stop
the feed of pellets. The blowers will continue to operate and cool the stove down. When cool enough,
the stove will turn off.
• AUTO / OFF mode: To turn the unit OFF, turn the Thermostat down or Timer off.
DO NOT turn unit off during start-up or unplug unit while operating; this may lead
to smoke escaping from the stove.
SLIDER/DAMPER SET-UP:
THE SLIDER / DAMPER MUST BE SET AT TIME OF INSTALLATION. A Qualified Service Technician
or Installer must set the Slider Damper.
If the fire should happen to go out and the heat output indicator has been set on the lowest setting, the
Slider Damper should be pushed in slightly, decreasing the air in the firebox.
If, after long periods of burning, the fire builds up and overflows the burn pot or there is a build up of
clinkers, this would be a sign that the pellet quality is poor, this requires more primary air, the slider
damper must be pulled out to compensate. Pulling the slider damper out gives the fire more air.
The easiest way to make sure that an efficient flame is achieved is
to understand the characteristics of the fire.
• A tall, lazy flame with dark orange tips requires more air – Open
slider (pull out) slightly.
• A short, brisk flame, like a blowtorch, has too much air – Close
slider (push in) slightly.
• If the flame is in the middle of these two characteristics with a
bright yellow/orange, active flame with no black tips then the air
is set for proper operation, refer to Figure 6.
The combustion exhaust blower is a variable speed blower controlled
by the heat output button. This blower will decrease the vacuum
pressure inside the stove and as the heat output button is turned
down.
SPECIAL NOTES:
Pellet quality is a major factor in how the Pellet stove will operate. If the pellets have a high moisture
content or ash content the fire will be less efficient and has a higher possibility of the fire building up and
creating clinkers (hard ash build-up).
