OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE WITH THE DOOR OPEN.
If door is left open (approximately) two minutes, unit will stop feeding and fire will go out.
Do not burn trash (paper bags, etc.) in this unit.
This stove has an induced draft system and is designed to operate continuously, as frequent
shutdown is not required. The digital control board operates the unit with a time delay-relay
system; this system controls the top auger feed rate by operating for a predetermined number of
seconds while the bottom auger runs constantly. The setting of the “Heat Range” touch pad will
control the heat output and the amount of pellets the unit will burn (see “Control Board” section
and Ill. 2). Note: This stove is using solid fuel and will not restart automatically.
* NOTE:
Blower Speed will automatically be adjusted to the desired Heat Range that you select.
Horizontal Feed System
This unit has a top and a bottom auger that are separated by four inches (4”); a 1-RPM
motor drives each auger. The top auger drops pellets to the bottom auger tube, and the bottom
auger pushes the pellets forward to the burn pot. This ensures there is no build-up of fuel in the
bottom auger tube. As pellets enter the burn pot the combustion air is drawn across the fuel.
START- UP PROCEDURE
Caution - Never use gasoline, lantern fuel, charcoal lighter fluid, diesel fuel, or any other
flammable liquid to start the fire.
1. Be sure the hopper is clean and free from foreign materials. Be sure there is current at
your outlet (we do recommend a surge protector with our unit).
2. Before your first fire dry run your unit (with no pellets in the hopper)
for 20 minutes.
Press the “ON” button to begin the dry run. After the 20 minute dry run, the control
board will return to “OFF.” An error code will appear in the Heat Range and the Blower
Speed windows as “E-2,” which means the unit failed to start normally. After this code is
received and you are sure the unit is working properly, fill the hopper with wood pellets.
Do not allow any part of the bag or any foreign material in the hopper, as this may jam
the augers. Ensure that all pellet matter is cleared from the hopper lid gasket, make
sure the hopper lid latches and the door of the unit are securely closed and press the
“ON” button; this will clear the error code and restart your unit.
Start-Up
When the “ON” button is pressed from a cold start, the unit is in “Start-Up” (after 3 seconds,
there will be an “S U” in the Heat Range and Blower Speed windows to verify this). While in this
mode, the unit has a preset heat range and will remain in this mode for 20 minutes to prevent
the unit from over-firing. During this start-up period you can set the Control Board at the setting
you desire; after the start-up is complete, the unit will run at the user setting.
Manually Starting Your Unit
If for some reason the unit does not ignite after pressing the “ON” button and going through the
Start-up procedure, clean any pellets out of the burn pot (to prevent over-feeding), and manually
start your unit. This may be done simply by placing a handful of new pellets in the burn pot,
then spreading a small amount of pellet fire starter gel over the pellets and igniting them. After
the pellets ignite, close the door to your unit and press the “ON” button (if the door is closed
before the pellets fully ignite, the Exhaust Blower could put out the fire). Recommended fire
starter materials: Wax-impregnated wood chips, cardboard cubes or firestarter gel designed for
pellet stoves. Follow any manufacturer’s directions for these products, and NEVER place gel or
