Operating Instructions
OPERATING YOUR PELLET STOVE:
Figure 3: Dial-A-Fire control panel.
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 start-up switch
once only.
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. 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.
6. If the stove should shut off after fifteen (15) minutes
and there is still a fire in the firebox – press the start-up
switch once more. If the fire went out, return to step 2
and re-light the stove.
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.
SPECIAL NOTES: The flashing green light corresponds to the auger feed rate.
KNOB “B”: Dial 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:
To turn your 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. When cool enough, the stove will shut down. DO NOT unplug unit while combustion fan
is operating. This may lead to smoke escaping from the stove.
