E. Before Your First Fire
1. First, make sure your appliance has been properly
installed and that all safety requirements have been met.
Pay particular attention to the fire protection and venting.
2. Double check that the ash drawer and firebox are empty
and the fire pot floor is fully closed.
3. Check the position of the thermocouple, located above
the fire pot, and make sure that it protrudes approximately
3/4 inch (19mm) into the fire pot.
4. Close and latch the door.
F. Filling the Hopper
Open the hopper lid by lifting the handle. Fill the hopper
with fuel. Close the hopper lid. The unit will not feed with the
hopper lid open and the fire will go out.
Storage
• Wood pellets should be left in their original sealed bag
until using to prevent moisture absorption.
• Do not store any pellet fuel within the clearance
requirements or in an area that would hinder routine
cleaning and maintenance.
Size
• Pellets are either 1/4 inch or 5/16 inch (6-8mm)
in diameter.
• Length should be no more that 1-1/2 inches (38mm).
• Pellet lengths can vary from lot to lot from the
same manufacturer.
• Due to length variations, the flame height (feed rate) may
need adjusting occasionally.
Performance
• Higher ash content requires the ash drawer to be emptied
more frequently.
• Hardwoods require more air to burn properly.
• Premium wood pellets produce the highest heat output.
• Burning pellets longer than 1-1/2 inches (38mm)
can cause an inconsistent fuel feed rate and/or
missed ignitions.
Changing to Different Fuel Type
• Empty the hopper of the previous fuel.
• Thoroughly vacuum hopper before filling with the
new fuel.
The burn rate, BTU content and heat output will all vary
depending on the fuel selected.
Tested and approved for wood pellet fuel only. Burning of
any other type of fuel voids your warranty.
CAUTION
Tip of thermocouple must be in contact with the inside
end of the thermocouple cover.
Missed ignitions can occur.
