Metal pipe (solid or flexible) must be used for the outside air installation. PVC pipe is NOT approved and should NEVER be used.
Understanding your stove How your stove works Your pellet stove utilizes a inclined auger fuel feed system that is operated by a microprocessor controlled digital circuit board. The digital circuit board allows the inclined auger fuel feed system to run in a timer-based, non-continuous cycle; this cycling allows the auger to run for a predetermined period of seconds. The auger pushes pellets up a chute located at the front/bottom of the hopper which in turn falls through another chute into the burnpot.
Control Panel Overview Turning the heater ON/OFF, as well as adjustments for the fuel feed rate and room fan speed are performed by pressing the appropriate button(s) on the control panel which is located on the lower left-hand side of your heater. This unit can be changed between an automatic operation or a manual operation. The controller comes default in the automatic mode. • ON/OFF Pressing the “ON” button on the control panel will begin the start-up sequence for the heater.
Operation UNIT PREPARATION After carefully unpacking and reading the instructions for installing your stove, you will need to perform the following steps: • Attach the included spring handle to the door handle by screwing it on in a respective location. • Attach the electrical cord to the back of the stove first; then plug it into a 110-volt outlet (an outlet surge protector is highly recommended).
Operation START-UP PROCEDURE DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO START THE FIRE - Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a fire in this stove. Keep all such liquids well away from the stove while it is in use. DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA, OR ENGINE OIL. HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. KEEP CHILDREN, CLOTHING AND FURNITURE AWAY. CONTACT MAY CAUSE SKINS BURNS. 1.
Operation 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 filled when the hopper level drops below 3-inches. In the event of a power outage, the stove will not function.
Maintenance Interior Chambers Periodically remove and clean the burnpot and the area inside the burnpot housing. In particular it is advisable to clean out the holes in the burnpot to remove any build up that may prevent air from moving through the burn pot freely. Remove the two(2) plates on each side of the burnpot housing and clean out that rear chamber. If a vacuum is used to clean your stove, we suggest using a vacuum designed for ash removal. Some regular vacuum cleaner (i.e.
Trouble Shooting Disconnect the power cord before performing any maintenance! NOTE: Turning the ON/OFF Switch to ”OFF” does not disconnect all power to the electrical components of the stove.
