Manual Lighting Procedure:
If
Priming
Is
Required
1.
Fill the hopper with recommended pellet fuel and plug the stove into the wall outlet.
2.
Press the Start switch on the control panel. This will activate both blowers. Press the Auger
ON/Off
switch on the control panel. This will activate the auger motor. Next, press the heat output switch to position
#5
(maximum feed rate).
3.
Look through the combustion chamber door and when you see the first pellets dropping into the grate the
auger
is
then fully primed.
It
will take
10
to
15
minutes to prime the auger.
4.
Once the auger is primed, unplug the stove to turn off the blowers and auger for
a
minimum of 30 seconds.
You need only do this when priming the auger. Once the stove
is
shut down, plug
it
into the wall outlet again.
Manual Starting Steps
1.
Place a recommended fire starter (see your dealer for appropriate fire starter) in the burn grate and put a
handful of pellets on top of the starter.
DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS TO START YOUR STOVE.
2.
Light the fire starter in the grate with a match and close the door.
3.
After approximately 10 seconds, press the
START SWITCH.
You will notice that the fire will become active
and there will be air coming from the heat exchanger tubes.
4.
After the pellets in the grate are burning sufficiently (red hot coals), press the Auger
ON/OFF
switch: this will
activate the auger motor, and pellets will begin to feed into the burn grate. Your blower motors will continue to
operate.
5.
After the pellets are burning well, press the
HEAT OUTPUT
selector to the desired setting. Combustion
air and the pellet fuel feed rate will adjust automatically as the
HEAT OUTPUT
selector
is
pressed. The flame
should be bright
yeflow in color and there should be no evidence of soot formation at the top of the flame.
Press the Blower Speed switch to increase or decrease the desired amount of convection air from your stove.
,,..
If operating your stove with a wall thermostat, adjust the heat output selector switch to the desired demand
mode
(#2
through #5 on the heat output selector switch).
Lighting Stove With Optional Fastfirem Self-Igniter:
1.
Fill
the hopper with recommended pellet fuel and plug stove into wall outlet.
2.
Push the
Start
button on the control board to activate the igniter.
3.
Press the Auger
ON/OFF
Switch
to the
"ON"
position.
4.
Pellets will start feeding into the grate and should begin to ignite within three to seven minutes. The self-
igniter will automatically shut-off after 15 minutes.
5.
If
the auger system
is
not primed with pellets, as in a first time starr-up orwhen the stove has completely run
out of fuel,
it
may take a few extra minutes to start. In these circumstances if the stove does not start after the
15 minute ignition cycle, unplug stove, plug back in and press start button.
6.
Air
is
drawn from the convection air system and
is
blown across the igniter element to produce a flow of
super heated air. This stream of air
is
directed through a hole in the back of the burn grate.
Tip:
set the blower spew' (convection air) selector to a higher setting for better start-up.
7.
After the pellets are burning well, press the
HEAT OUTPUT
selector to the desired setting. Combustion air
and the pellet fuel feed rate will adjust automatically as the
HEAT OUTPUT
selector switch
is
pressed. The
flame should be bright yellow in color and there should be no evidence of soot formation at the top of the
flame. Press the Blower Speed switch to increase or decrease the desired amount of convection air from your
stove. If operating your stove with a wall thermostat, adjust the heat output selector switch to the desired
demand mode
(#2
through #5 on the heat output selector switch).
Turning
Off
Your Whitfield Pellet Stove:
Press the Auger
On/W
Switch
to turn the fuel feed off. Pellets will stop feeding and the red light will stop
blinking. Both blowers will continue to operate. The blowers will automatically turn off after 30 to 45 minutes.
The low temperature switch will also shut the stove down safely if it runs out of fuel.
