LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO START THE FIRE.
HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. KEEP CHILDREN, CLOTHING AND FURNITURE AWAY.
CONTACT MAY CAUSE SKIN BURNS.
Before lighting your heater for the rst time, make sure that all items are out of the hopper, ash pan and rebox area.
Close all doors and lids. Choose which fuel setting that you wish to operate in, Corn or Pellet. Do this by rst pressing the “ON” button,
then press the “Heat Range” Up and Down arrows together for approximately 3-4 seconds and release. A “C” or “P” in the rst digit
of the display will indicate the mode. The ON LED will be blinking and the display will show “Cr-1” or “Pr-1”, depending on the mode.
The “Heat Range” indicator LED and the “Auto” LED should be lit and the dash in the Heat Range display should be ashing. You will
notice the draft fan starts immediately. If you press the “Heat Setting” button up, the draft fan changes speed, increasing speed the
higher the heat setting. You should begin to see the igniter, located in the center and behind the burnpot, begin to glow after a short
period of time. In Corn Mode, the auger and agitator will start rotating after a few minutes, allowing for proper fuel ignition. In Pellet
Mode, the auger will turn immediately, then the agitator will begin to rotate once the heater reaches operating temperature. Note:
The room fan will not operate at this time, as a temperature of at least 110 degrees must be reached before operating. If proper
operation of your heater is conrmed, press the “OFF” button, then ll your hopper with the desired fuel. Ensure there is no foreign
matter in your fuel, hopper or burnpot. You are now ready to light your Multi-Fuel Heater.
TO START A FIRE...
• Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter uid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen
up” a re in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use.
Using Wood Pellets: Ensure your display shows a “Pr” for pellets.
This heater is designed to burn only PFI Premium grade pellets. This appliance can also burn pellets rated as standard after May
16, 2015
DO NOT BURN:
(1) Garbage;
(2) Lawn clippings or yard waste;
(3) Materials containing rubber, including tires;
(4) Materials containing plastic;
(5) Waste petroleum products, paints or paint thinners, or asphalt products;
(6) Materials containing asbestos;
(7) Construction or demolition debris;
(8) Railroad ties or pressure-treated wood;
(9) Manure or animal remains;
(10) Salt water driftwood or other previously salt water saturated materials;
(11) Unseasoned wood; or
(12) Paper products, cardboard, plywood, or particleboard. The prohibition against burning these materials does not prohibit the use
of re starters made from paper, cardboard, saw dust, wax and similar substances for the purpose of starting a re in an affected
wood heater.
Burning these materials may result in release of toxic fumes or render the heater ineffective and cause smoke.
• Close all doors, lids, and cleanouts.
• Press the “ON” button and select desired heat range. This will start the ignition sequence.
• At this point, the igniter will come on and run for preset time limit (approximately 9 minutes). The auger will begin to turn and
feed fuel into the burnpot. After the 9 minutes or if the heater reaches operating temperature, the igniter will shut off and
normal operation will begin.
• Make ne adjustments to the air/fuel with the damper located centered, under the hearth.
• Once the heater reaches warm temperature, the room fan will start to circulate air into the room.
• If you would like to increase the life of your ignitor, you can run your heater in the “Cr” mode. However, you must place pellets
in the burnpot, up to the igniter level as shown in the illustration below for auto ignition. Close the door and press the “ON”
button. The igniter only runs approximately half the time in “Cr” as oppose to the “Pr” mode.
Using Corn, Soy Beans, Cherry Pits: Ensure your display shows a “Cr” for corn.
NOTE: Wood pellets MUST be used for auto ignition of the fuel. Corn, Soy Beans, and Cherry Pits have a higher
ash point and requires more heat to combust as opposed to wood pellets. Trying to light the heater with a fuel
other than wood pellets will decrease the life expectancy of your igniter cartridge.
The use of starter gel or starter pellets is not required for this heater.
