pellets. Pull out completely when you want to open the flow of pellets to the heater. This is not
designed to control the flow rate of the pellets.

INITIAL FIRING OF THE HEATER: On initial firing fill the hopper ¾ full. Open the damper on the
heater and leave it open for the entire initial burn period. Having the damper closed on initial firing will
result in very high temperatures and potentially damage your heater voiding your warranty. Fire the
unit and let it burn through all the pellets and then let the heater cool. You will now be free to use the
unit according to the remainder of these directions. On your first firing, fumes will emit. This will
happen for about the first 15 minutes of operation. Do not breathe these fumes.
Pull the shutoff key all the way out when ready to burn. Do not attempt to regulate the flow of
pellets with the shutoff
