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
Illustration 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 intermittently drops pellets to the bottom auger tube, and the
bottom auger pushes the pellets forward to the burn pot. This helps prevent 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.
Automatic 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 operate at the user setting.
Manually Starting Your Unit
In the event the Auto-Start does not initiate, you may manually start your unit. To manually start
your unit, first clean any pellets out of the burn pot (to prevent over-feeding). Place a handful of
new pellets in the burn pot, then spread a small amount of pellet fire starter over the pellets and
ignite 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 chips designed for pellet stoves. Follow any manufacturer’s directions for these
products, and NEVER place any firestarter on any hot surface or hot coals. Never use gasoline,
lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, diesel fuel or any other flammable liquid to start the
fire. Do not use the manual startup method if the igniter is working. NEVER place firestarter
near the igniter.
If you have continued problems with the Auto-Start Igniter, call Technical Support.
