:

• 

MANUAL and HI / LOW mode: To turn the unit OFF, simply press the ON / OFF button. This will stop 

the feed of pellets. The blowers will continue to operate and cool the stove down. When cool enough, 

the stove will turn off.

• 

AUTO / OFF mode: To turn the unit OFF, turn the thermostat down or off. 

DO NOT unplug unit while Combustion fan is operating.  

This may lead to smoke escaping from the stove.

:

This is used to regulate the airflow through the pellet stove. 
If the fire should happen to go out and the heat output indicator has been set on the lowest setting, the 

Slider Damper should be pushed in slightly, decreasing the air in the firebox.
If, after long periods of burning, the fire builds up and overflows the burn pot or there is a build up of 

clinkers, this would be a sign that the pellet quality is poor, this requires more primary air, the slider 

damper must be pulled out to compensate.  Pulling the slider damper out gives the fire more air.

The easiest way to make sure that an efficient flame is achieved is to understand the characteristics of 

the fire.

•  A tall, lazy flame with dark orange tips requires more air – Open slider (pull out) slightly.

•  A short, brisk flame, like a blowtorch, has too much air – Close slider (push in) slightly.

OPERATION

: When the thermostat contacts close, the unit will light 

automatically. Once up to temperature, the stove operates the same 

as in MANUAL. When the thermostat contacts open, the stove’s HEAT 

LEVEL and Fans will drop down to the LOW setting for 30 minutes. If 

the thermostat contacts close within the 30 min, the HEAT LEVEL will 

return to the previous MANUAL setting. If the thermostat contacts 

remain  open  the  stove  automatically  begins  its  shutdown  routine. 

The stove will re-light when the thermostat contacts close again.

Figure 6: Efficient Flame.

•    If the flame is in the middle of these two characteristics 

with a bright yellow/orange, active flame with no black 

tips then the air is set for proper operation.

The combustion exhaust blower is a variable speed blower 

controlled  by  the  heat  output  button.  This  blower  will 

decrease the vacuum pressure inside the stove and as the 

heat output button is turned down. 

SPECIAL NOTES:

 

Pellet quality is a major factor in how the Pellet stove will 

operate.  If  the  pellets  have  a  high  moisture  content  or 

ash content the fire will be less efficient and has a higher 

possibility of the fire building up and creating clinkers (hard 

ash build-up).
