8.0 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
8.1
PROPER PELLET LOADING
Before loading pellets into the hopper fi rst transfer the pellets from it’s original plastic bag to a metal bucket.
Keep in mind that the auger stops when the lid is opened. If the lid is opened for several minutes, the fi re may
extinguish.
NOTE: If the pellets are kept in the plastic bag, the bag may come in contact with the appliance causing
the bag to melt and the pellets to spill.
DO NOT load pellets into the hopper if they have been exposed to moisture. Moisture can cause pellets
to swell and cause blockage in the feed system. Thoroughly dry pellets before placing into hopper.

8.2 PRE-START
CHECK
Before installing this appliance we recommend a “PRE-BURN” inspection to help burn off the odours that are
associated with the fi rst burn. If possible, move the appliance outside and add approximately 5 lbs (2.3kg) of
pellets into the hopper. Plug the power cord into a typical wall receptacle.
The appliance is equipped with a control board that has been shipped in manual mode.
When fi rst starting a new pellet appliance, or when you completely empty the hopper of pellets you can press
and hold the prime button to get the pellets into the burn pot quicker.
Slide the "ON/OFF" button to "ON":
This starts the ignition cycle.
The auger comes on and runs for approximately 3 minutes.
The igniter comes on and will stay on until proof of fi re determined by the appliance temperature.
At anytime during the ignition cycle, once proof of fi re is met, the appliance goes into normal
operating mode.
NOTE: Flame should appear in the burn pot within 3 to 7 minutes from commencing the ignition cycle.
The ignition cycle should end in approximately 12 to 15 minutes. At this point adjustments to feed rate
can be made or the appliance will revert to the previous setting. If proof of fi re is not established in 15
minutes, the appliance will shut down and will need to be turned back on again. If the appliance shuts
down, empty the pellets from the burn pot into an empty non-combustible container and restart. Never
empty pellets from burn pot back into hopper.
Your appliance can be lit manually without using the automatic igniter by following the procedure below.
•
Press the ON / OFF button.
•
Place a “handful” of pellets into the burn pot.
•
Cover with a small amount of approved (non-volatile) fi re starter gel.
• Light
fi re starter with a match and close the viewing door.

APPLIANCE MAY BE HOT.
OTHER THAN PLACING A HANDFUL OF PELLETS IN THE BURN POT FOR LIGHTING MANUALLY,
NEVER FEED PELLETS THROUGH THE GLASS VIEWING DOOR. AN "OVERFIRE" CONDITION
COULD OCCUR, IF MORE PELLETS ENTER THE FIREBOX THAN WHAT THE FEED TUBE CAN
DELIVER. PELLETS MUST ONLY BE BURNED WITHIN THE BURN POT.
NEVER USE GASOLINE TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR
SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR ‘FRESHEN UP’ A FIRE IN THIS APPLIANCE. KEEP ALL SUCH
LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM THE APPLIANCE WHILE IT IS IN USE.
