Low Burn
• During evenings and overnight, set the thermostat to a
temperature below what the room temperature will drop
to, for example 45° and then program the thermostat to
turn back on to a higher desired temperature (example
75°) after 16-1/2 hours. Time will vary depending on
house size. Load fireplace by referring to the High
Burn section.
Reloading the Appliance
•
If the light is red or the appliance needs more fuel, push
the button, open the door slowly, stir up the coals, load
the wood and shut the door.
•
When the activation button is pushed, regardless of
the temperature set on the thermostat, the appliance
will burn on high and go through the high burn cycle
until the appliance has warmed up and reached the
maximum operating temperature, If the thermostat is
not calling for heat, the appliance will progress to low
burn setting and continue burning at that rate until the
thermostat calls for heat (the room temperature is less
than the thermostat is set for).
F. Heat Output Control
The Pioneer III is designed to operate with a programma

ble wall thermostat. Set the desired room temperature on
the thermostat and the appliance heat output will adjust as
necessary to maintain the room temperature.
