1. Check and fill hopper with pellets.
2. Make sure unit is plugged into a working outlet.
3. Switch the power on by pushing the ROCKER SWITCH to the
MANUAL position.
4. Turn KNOB B to the 12 o’clock position. (Lower grade
pellets may need a higher setting on the feed rate).
NOTE: Unit will take longer to light if the hopper has been
completely emptied or is the first fire up.
5. Approximately fifteen (15) minutes after the fire was lit, the
GREEN LIGHT should come on. When the GREEN LIGHT
comes on, push the ROCKER SWITCH to the AUTO
position. Now the stove will shut-off automatically if the fire
goes out.
6. Wait until the fire is established, then turn KNOB B to the
desired heat output. The stove may not be able to burn in
the BLUE ZONE if poor quality wood pellets are being used.
Adjust the slider-damper to the appropriate setting (see
“SLIDER/DAMPER SETTING” section.
KNOB “A”: Fan Controller. By adjusting the knob you will vary the rate of airflow into the room by varying
the speed of the convection blower. When you first start the stove, it should be placed in the “OFF”
position in order to heat the unit as quickly as possible. Once the room has come up to temperature, the
control may be set to a comfortable level. *Note: The convection blower may cycle to high automatically
depending on the setting of KNOBS A and B. This is a normal safety feature of the unit.
KNOB “B”: Dia-A-Fire Heat Output Knob. This knob controls the amount of heat output. The dial has a
scale with the blue zone representing the coolest setting of the stove, and the red zone representing
the hottest setting. The scale on knob “B” represents a range, not exact at times or fuel quantities.
Wood pellets of differing quality may affect the performance of the stove. If the stove has trouble
operating at either end of its range, turn the heat output knob back slightly.
TURNING YOUR PELLET STOVE OFF:
The AUTO/MANUAL SWITCH must be in the AUTO position during operation. To turn the stove off, simply
turn the HEAT OUTPUT knob (KNOB B) counter-clockwise until the knob clicks to the “OFF” position. This will stop
the feed of pellets. The blowers will continue to run and cool the stove.
SPECIAL NOTES:
If the stove is left in the manual mode after the green light comes on, the auger will continue to feed pellets. Pellets
may over flow the burn-pot after the fire goes out and also re-light.
The scale on KNOB B represents a range, not exact times. Wood pellets of differing quality
may effect the performance and/or the heat output of the stove. If the stove has trouble
operating at the end of its range, adjust the heat output knob back slightly.
