CAUTION: AVOID OVERFIRING YOUR STOVE!
If at any time you observe a portion of the stove glowing red (other than the stir rod in the burn pot), you are overfiring
the unit or some other malfunction has occurred. Immediately initiate shut down procedures by pressing the On/Off
button one time. Allow the unit to go through the pre-programmed shut down cycle and contact your dealer. Observe
the unit to ensure it does indeed shut down properly.
Do not unplug the stove as this will prevent the blowers from running and cooling your unit and could result in admitting
smoke into the house.
Restarting a warm stove
On occasion, the stove may have to be restarted when, for example, it has been shut off for ash cleaning. If there is no
fire or glowing embers in the burn pot and no smoke present in the firebox, the viewing door can be opened. If the door
is open for 30 seconds or more while the fans are running, the air pressure safety switch will deactivate and prevent the
auger feed from operating, as indicated by the Heat Level 2 (red) light blinking. The fans will continue to run. You may
then remove the Stir Rod Cotter Pin and remove the Stir Rod and Burn Pot to remove the ashes and unburned fuel.
CAUTION: THE BURN POT AND STIR ROD WILL BE HOT AND CAN CAUSE BURNS TO UNPROTECTED SKIN.
USE THERMALLY INSULATED GLOVES TO REMOVE THE STIR ROD COTTER PIN, STIR ROD AND BURN POT.
Following the Lighting Instructions, place wood pellets in the burn pot, apply starter fluid and light. Allow one to two
minutes for the wood pellets to catch fire. Then shut the door, and press the On/Off button on the Control Panel twice.
The green “Power” light should begin to blink. After approximately four minutes, you should observe the stove resume
feeding fuel to the burn pot.
Opening the Fuel Hopper Lid
The stove is equipped with an auger interlock switch which interrupts power to the fuel feed auger when the lid is open.
This is a safety feature required by the safety codes which will avoid injury should fingers or clothing become entangled
with the fuel feed auger.
Depending on the heat level the stove at which the stove is operating, the fire in the burn pot may extinguish within a
few minutes if the hopper lid is left open.
Bear this in mind when refueling the stove. This feature can also be used to temporarily stop the fuel feed if it appears
that the burn pot has become full of unburned fuel. This can occasionally occur during startup depending on the amount
of wood pellets used to start the fire. Do not leave the lid open for extended periods, as the fire will go out, and there is
potential for admitting smoke to the room.
