When the thermostat calls for heat, the appliance will start up
on the high setting for the first 4 minutes and 15 seconds, then
automatically switch to the burn rate for which it is set. If the
appliance is set at one of the lower settings, it will run quieter
but take longer to heat up an area than if it were set at a higher
burn rate. Regardless of the burn rate, when the area is warm
enough to satisfy the thermostat, the appliance will shut off.
3. Fan Speed Switch
This switch will adjust the speed of the room distribution air fan
or convection blower on all three settings. This means you have
six different blower speeds available as there is a high and low
on each setting.
H. Starting Your First Fire
1. A thermostat is required for proper operation of this
appliance, except for corn. At this time, fill 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 10
minutes even though the thermostat is not calling for heat.
This is normal.
3. L
ocate the heat output control switch mounted on the
upper right corner of the right side panel. Switch it to
the high setting by pushing the top of the switch in, then
adjust the thermostat to its highest setting. The red call
light located on the upper right corner of the right side
panel will be on. This indicates the thermostat is calling
for heat.
4. The fuel feed system and the igniter should now be on.
5. For your first fire it will be necessary to press the reset
button every two minutes until pellets start to drop into the
fire pot, then press button 1 more time. This will fill 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 appli
ance has ignited, let the 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.
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 inconsist
ent fuel feed rate and/or missed ignitions.
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.
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.
IMPORTANT DETAIL: The tip of the thermocouple must
be in contact with the inside end of the thermocouple
cover or missed ignitions can occur.
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.

General Operating Information
1. Thermostat Calls For Heat
T
he appliance is like most modern furnaces; when the thermostat
calls for heat, your appliance will
automatically light and deliver
heat. When the room is up to temperature and the thermostat
is satisfied, the red call light will go off and the appliance will
shut down.
2. Heat Output Controls
This appliance is equipped with a heat output control switch
that has three settings or burn rates; low, medium and high.
The appliance will turn on and off as the thermostat demands.

CAUTION!
T
ested and approved for wood pellets and shelled field
corn fuel only. Burning of any other type of fuel voids your
warranty.
NOTE:
UNIT CAN USE 1:1 PELLET/CORN MIXTURE.
We recommend the use of a 1:1 pellet/corn mixture. The
only change in operation is that the feed rate may require
a slight adjustment.
