G. General Operating Information
1. Thermostat Calls For Heat
The 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 shut
off and the appliance will shut down. The red call light is
located behind the left access panel.
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
(Figure 10.1)
. The appliance will turn on and off as the
thermostat demands. When the thermostat calls for heat,
the appliance will always start up on High. After burning
approximately 4 minutes, the appliance will then burn at the
rate at which it was originally set. If the appliance is set at
one of the lower settings, it will run quieter but takes 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.

H. Starting Your First Fire
1. A thermostat is required for proper operation of this
appliance. 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 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 firebox in front of the right access panel. 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 front of the junction box behind the left
access panel. This indicates the thermostat is calling
for heat
(Figure 10.2)
.
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 once a minute 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 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.
