G. Fire Characteristics
A properly adjusted fi re with the heat output control switch
set on “HIGH” has a short active fl ame pattern that extends
out of the fi repot approximately 4 inches (102mm).
If the fi re has tall fl ames with black tails and seems somewhat
lazy, the feed rate will need to be reduced.
If the fi re is not 4 inches (102mm) tall, increase the feed rate.
A medium and low setting will give a shorter fl ame. The fl ame
will rise and fall somewhat. This is normal.
The feed adjustment control rod is factory set, and should be
adequate for most fuels. The control rod will slide by only
loosening the wing screw.
However, if the flame height is too high or too low, you will
need to adjust the feed rate. Wait until the appliance has been
burning for 15 minutes before making your adjustments and
allow 15 minutes for feed adjustment to take effect. Make
adjustments in approximately 1/2 inch increments.
1. Loosen the wing screw.
2. Adjust the fuel adjustment control rod towards to the right
and up to increase the feed rate and fl ame height or to
the left and down to decrease the feed rate and fl ame
height.
3. Re-tighten the wing screw.
H. Feed Rate Adjustment Instructions
F. Starting Your First Fire
1. A thermostat is required for proper operation of this
appliance, except for corn. At this time, fi ll the hopper
with pellets, set the thermostat to its lowest setting. Plug
the power cord into nearby outlet.
2. The exhaust blower will stay on for approximately 18
minutes even though the thermostat is not calling for
heat. This is normal.
3. Locate the heat output control switch on the lower right
side of the fi rebox behind decorative front door. Set to the
HIGH setting and then adjust the thermostat to its highest
setting. The red call light will be on which is located on
the top of the junction box behind the right access panel.
This indicates the thermostat is calling for heat.
Figure
27.1.
4. The fuel feed system and the igniter should now be on.
5. For your fi rst fi re it will be necessary to press the reset
button once per minute until pellets start to drop into the
fi repot, then press button 1 more time. This will fi ll the
feed system and allow the appliance to begin dropping
pellets. The appliance will continue to run as long as the
thermostat is calling for heat.
6. Once the appliance has ignited, let it burn for approximately
15 minutes, then set the thermostat to the desired room
temperature. Adjust the heat output control switch to the
desired setting.
NOTE:
We recommend the use of a 50-50 blend of corn
and wood pellets. The only change in operation is that the
feed rate may require a slight adjustment. If the appliance is
running all of the time, 100% corn will work after the fi re has
been started using wood pellets.

In the case that service or inspection is required the unit may
need to be removed from the wall.
1. Unit must be unplugged before removal of unit is possible.
Unplug the unit from its power source.
2. Remove insert surround from unit, to ease the process of
removal.
3. Unclip the exhaust transition from the exhaust outlet in the
back of the unit. This is what connects the venting to the unit.
Removal of the clips will allow you to remove the unit from the
wall without damaging or adjusting the venting.
4.
Slide unit from the wall and rotate either direction as needed.
