INITIAL APPLIANCE BURN SETUP
IT IS CRITICAL FOR THE CORRECT OPERATION OF YOUR STOVE THAT THE BURN
GRATE, AIR INLET DAMPER, COMBUSTION FAN SPEED, AND
1 & 4 FUEL RATE BE SET CORRECTLY!
A HIGH QUALITY FIRE should burn with a brisk, yellow flame. A flame exhibiting a lazy, orange or sooty
characteristic is a poor quality and inefficient flame. A poor flame produces less heat, increases sooting and may
cause a smoky exhaust. If a poor flame exists for any period of time, clean your stove and exhaust system.
Note: if log option is purchased, do not install until initial setup is complete

let stove run for approx. 10 minutes before turning the stove to the # 4 setting (or High), to
begin to make fine adjustments. AUGER CYCLE indicator should be lit “ON” for 3 seconds
and “OFF” for 3-5 seconds. Adjust the AIR INLET DAMPER. This will have to be set, as the
factory sends all units out with the damper wide open to accommodate a wide range of
installations and elevations.
AIR INLET DAMPER: Slide open or close
damper as needed to obtain a fire that is brisk
enough to carry ash out of the grate, but not so
brisk that it carries pellets out as well (known as
“Pop corning”). Normally you should find that the
damper will need to be closed two-thirds to three
quarters, but will vary with length of vent run, pellet
quality and elevation. The best way to set this is at
the FUEL SETTING #4.
When you are pleased with the burn and how the appliance is operating, you
are now ready to set the board up at LOW setting.
Set FUEL RATE to #1 or LOW setting. Again let this burn for
approx. 10 minutes before making any adjustments. The AUGER
CYCLE indicator should be “OFF” for approx 9 – 14 seconds
between auger turnings (light ON). If “Pop corning” is taking place
at this setting adjust the COMBUSTION FAN SPEED.
COMBUSTION FAN SPEED (Draft): In a few instances
because of prevailing conditions pertinent to your specific
installation, or even different batches of pellet fuel, the
COMBUSTION FAN SPEED may be adjusted to increase or
decrease the amount of air moving through the grate for the
cleanest burn. Fan speed can be adjusted by adjusting the FAN
trim pod COUNTER CLOCKWISE to INCREASE the speed and
CLOCKWISE to DECREASE the speed of the combustion fan.
FUEL RATE: Fuel rate at the Lowest (number 1) and highest (number 4) settings can be
changed by adjusting the #1 or #4 TRIM PODS located on the control panel. To INCREASE fuel rate turn trimmer
COUNTER CLOCKWISE and to LOWER turn CLOCKWISE. To assist in knowing what changes you made, you
should note the amount of time the light on the AUGER CYCLE stays “OFF”. (Note: The light stays “off” when ever
the fuel feed motor is not running). Lengthening the time this light stays “OFF” lowers the fuel feed and
shortening the “OFF” time increases the fuel feed. Factory Setting #1 light “OFF” is approx. 9-11 seconds,
#4 light “OFF” is 3-4 seconds.
