C. Before Your First Fire
1. First, make sure your appliance has been properly
installed and that all safety requirements have been met.
Pay particular attention to the fi re protection, venting and
thermostat wall control installation instructions.
2. Double check that the ash pan and fi rebox are empty
and then close the front door.
D. 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 or may go out or
overfeed. See Figure 22.1 for an example of the screen on
the wall control.
2. Comfort Level Selection
Once your fuel is selected, select the temperature at the
desired setting on the SET COMFORT LEVEL screen. See
Figure 22.2.
3. Automatic or Manual Setting
The automatic setting will control the heat output based on
the comfort level selection. The manual setting allows you to
manually control the heat output settings. See page 21.
NOTE: See the Thermostat Wall Control manual for
detailed instructions
CAUTION
Tip of thermocouple must be in contact with the inside
end of the thermocouple cover.
Missed ignitions can occur.
A properly adjusted fi re with the heat output on HIGH has an
active fl ame pattern that extends out of the fi repot approxi-
mately 8 inches (203mm), If the fi re has tall fl ames with
black tails and seems somewhat lazy, the fl ame height will
need to be reduced. If the fi re is not 8 inches (203mm)
tall, the fl ame height will need to be increased. A medium
and low setting will give a shorter fl ame. The fl ame with
rise and fall somewhat. This is normal. With your appli-
ance in Manual mode and the heat output level set to High,
adjust the fl ame height using the FLAME HEIGHT ADJUST
screen under USER SETTINGS on the thermostat wall
control. Figure 22.3.

F. Battery Back-up System (Optional)
The appliance has been designed to operate on an optional
battery back-up system. If you have frequent power outages
in your region, hook the appliance up to a 12 volt battery and
it will automatically switch to battery power in the event of
power failure. There will be a battery icon that appears on
your wall control to let you know you are now operating on
battery power.
Once you are operating on battery power, you must manually
light the fi re in the appliance as it will no longer automatically
light. Use only approved fi re starting gel to start the fi re. The
high burn rate is no longer available on battery back-up as
each level drops down one level. For example; the high burn
becomes medium high burn and so on.
We recommend a 12 volt deep cycle battery, (i.e., marine
or RV type). If the battery charge falls below 10 volt it can
no longer sustain the appliance operation and the appliance
will shut down. A 12 volt battery cable is available through
your local dealer.
• Hook up to battery terminals BEFORE you
plug battery into the appliance.
• Damage to internal electronic components
may occur.
