Use and Care Guide

exhaust blower will continue to operate. When the internal temperature of the unit drops below the factory
preset temperature, the distribution blower and exhaust blower will cease to operate. The red light will then shut
off and the unit will be completely shut down. The hotter the unit is during its operation, the longer it will take for
the stove to complete the shut down cycle. If the stove stays on for more than 2 hours after pressing the “OFF”
button and you are sure that the re is out, the stove can be unplugged from the outlet. After approximately 10
seconds, the unit can be re-connected to the power source and the control board will be reset. If a chimney or
creosote re occurs, press the “OFF” button immediately. Do not unplug the unit.
DAILY OPERATION
• The hopper and stove top will be hot during operation; therefore, you should always use some type of hand
protection when refueling your stove.
• Never place your hand near the auger while the stove is in operation.
This unit should be lled when the hopper level drops below 3-inches.
In the event of a power outage, the stove will not function. It is very important that unit be vented properly (with
outside air), as the natural draft is needed to clear the smoke from the stove during a power outage. If the unit
was “ON” when the power outage occurred, one of the following will take place:
1. If the stove is still warm, it will resume feeding fuel and continue to operate normally. If the re has gone out,
you will have to press the “OFF” button and then the “ON” button again to begin a new start-up sequence.
2. If the stove has cooled-off, it will reset to its “OFF” condition. At this point, you may press the “ON” button and
the unit will begin a new start-up sequence.
NOTE: The unit will also shut down in the event of an exhaust blower failure; if this is the case, the unit will not re-
start and you must contact Customer Service at [phone].
SAFETY AND CONVENIENCE FEATURES
Your pellet stove incorporates a safety pressure switch that helps ensure that everything is in proper working order
before feeding fuel to the burn pot. Because the stove works using an induced draft pressure, the stove will not
continue to operate if the viewing door is left open; or if the exhaust blower fails or the exhaust system is blocked.
The temperature limit control (Thermistor) will prevent your stove from operating at abnormally high temperatures.
Should the stove temperature begin to approach the factory pre-set limit, the temperature limit control will
automatically slow down the auger feed rate until the temperature returns to a normal condition. Even though
the heater will operate on the highest setting, we recommend to operate your heater on this setting for only a
short period of time. (1 hour etc.) Your pellet stove also includes an auto-start igniter as a standard feature. The
use of other re starter materials (wood chips, starter gel, etc.) is not necessary. By simply pressing the “ON” button
on the digital control panel, your stove will begin to feed fuel and automatically start within 5 minutes.
TAMPER WARNING
This wood heater has a manufacturer-set minimum low burn rate that must not be altered. It is against federal
regulations to alter this setting or otherwise operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent with operating
instructions in this manual.
• Failure to clean and maintain this unit as indicated can result in poor performance and safety hazards.
• Unplug your stove’s electrical cord prior to removing the back panel or opening the exhaust system for any
inspection, cleaning, or maintenance work.
• Never perform any inspections, cleaning, or maintenance on a hot stove.
• Do not operate stove with broken glass , leakage of ue gas may result.
• WARNING: The chimney and chimney connector must be kept in good condition and clean.
EXHAUST SYSTEM
Creosote Formation – When any wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine
with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney ue or a
newly started re or from a slow-burning re. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the ue lining. When
ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot re, which may damage the chimney or even destroy the house.
Despite their high efciency, pellet stoves can accumulate creosote under certain conditions.
Maintenance
CAUTION: This wood heater needs periodic inspection and repair for proper operation. It is against federal
regulations to operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent with operating instructions in this manual.
