DAILY OPERATION
Refueling the Unit
Always press the “OFF” touch pad before refueling. This stove has a (approximately)
60-lb. hopper, and should be refilled when the hopper level drops to three or four inches.
Note: The hopper lid will be warm; therefore, you should always use some type of hand
protection. NEVER place your hand near the auger while the stove is operating.
Note: Always ensure that all pellet matter is cleared from the hopper lid gasket before
closing. Be sure to close and latch hopper securely before re-firing. Do not operate this
unit with the hopper lid open or unsecured.
Power Outage
If the power to the unit is interrupted for approximately three minutes or less, the unit will
resume operation when power is restored according to the following table:
Unit’s State Before Power Loss State When Power Returns
ON Start-Up
Start-Up Start-Up
Shut-Down Shut-Down
OFF OFF
If the power is interrupted for more than (approximately) three minutes, the unit will be “OFF”
when power returns.
Important: Do NOT open the hopper lid or the door to the unit during power outage.
Open the closest outside door and a window to eliminate the home’s natural draft.
Wait for power to be restored and then press the “ON” button to re-start the unit, if
necessary.
We highly recommend the use of a surge protector with your unit, as power surges and
failures can affect the operation of any electrical appliance.
We do not recommend leaving home with the stove on the higher heat ranges; it is
recommended that the stove be left on the lower heat ranges (Heat Range setting 1 or 2).
NOTE: Remember: 1) It is very important for the unit to be vented properly (see
instructions on Outside Air), as the natural draft is needed to clear the smoke from the stove.
2) Do not open the hopper lid (or the unit’s door). This may cause fire to burn in the hopper.
Fuel Outage
If the unit should run out of pellets, simply reload the hopper and press the “ON” button
(only once) to re-start the unit. If the unit runs without pellets, after one hour the unit will
shut down.
NOTE: Even if flames are visible inside the fire box always
press the “ON” button to ensure
that your unit will restart.
Combustion Blower Failure
If the Combustion (exhaust) Blower should fail on this unit, a Vacuum Shut-Down Switch
will automatically stop the stove. This will shut your unit completely off, and there will be an
“E-1” code in the Heat Range and Blower Speed windows on the Control Board. At this
point you will need to contact Customer Service at (800) 245-6489.
NOTE: It is very important for the unit to be vented properly (see instructions on Outside
Air), as the natural draft is needed to clear the smoke from the stove.
