Operation
Starting First Fire
Be sure the power cord is plugged into a 120 volt
receptacle. This can be verified by the red power
light on the control panel.
Fill the hopper with pellets, fig. 12.
Fill the burn pot with pellets to a level just short
of overflowing, fig. 8.
Adjust feed rate. If this is your first fire or you
are trying different pellets, set the feed adjuster
to "3", fig. 9. This is a conservative number and
will probably need to be increased. After you
know a feed rate setting that works well, use
that setting. Remember too high a feed rate will
waste fuel.
Turn Mode selector to "OFF" and then to
"Stove Temp". This will turn the combustion
blower to high. When starting a fire always turn
the mode selector to "OFF" before selecting the
desired mode. This resets the control for start-
up.
Turn Temp Dial to 7. This will allow the stove to
burn at maximum for feed rate adjusting pur-
poses.
Apply starting gel to pellets in burn pot and light
the gel. Close the door after lighting.
At this point the distribution and combustion lights
will be on and the feed motor light will be off.
As the temperature of the fire increases, the feed
motor light will come on and pellets will feed
into the burn pot. As the stove temperature
increases the distribution blower speed will
increase.
After 30 to 45 minutes it may be necessary to
readjust the feed rate. The feed rate should be
adjusted so there is about one inch of ash in
front of the fire, fig. 10A.
