CAUTION: Never use gasoline, lantern fuel, lighter fl uid to
start or "freshen-up" a fi re in this heater. Keep all such fl uids
away from heater when in use.
Due to different installation set ups, length and size of venting and
fuel quality, the low feed setting from the factory will not always be
correct. It may be necessary to experiment with feed rate vs air
control. (For example, #2 may be your lowest setting).
Always operate this heater with the door closed.
If this is the fi rst time the heater has started or the heater has run
out of pellets, the auger will need to be purged.
Press "START" switch, turn the pellet feed dial to high to fi ll the au-
ger full of pellets and pull the air control rod all the way out allow-
ing air fl ow into the fi re. If the heater does not reach the required
temperature and turns off after 15 minutes, press the start switch
again. This time turn the pellet feed dial to low, to prevent over fi ll-
ing the burn pot and continue with the start-up instructions below.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before loading pellets into the hopper fi rst transfer the pellets
from it's original plastic bag to a metal bucket.
NOTE: If the pellets are kept in the plastic bag, the bag may come
in contact with the heater causing the bag to melt and the pellets
to spill.
DO NOT load pellets into the hopper if they have been exposed to
moisture. Moisture can cause pellets to swell and cause block-
age in the feed system. Thoroughly dry pellets before placing into
hopper.

PROPER PELLET LOADING
LIGHTING HEATER MANUALLY
Your heater can be lit manually without using the automatic igniter
by following the procedure below.
CAUTION: Heater may be hot.
1. Press the start switch
2. Turn feed dial to "Optimum"
3. Place a "handful" of pellets into the burn pot.
4. Cover with a small amount of approved
(non-volatile) fi re starter gel.
5. Light fi re starter with a match and close the
viewing door.
CAUTION: Other than placing a handful of pellets in the burn
pot for lighting manually, never feed pellets through the glass
viewing door. An "OVERFIRE" condition could occur, if more
pellets enter the fi rebox then what the feed tube can deliver.
Pellets must only be burned within the burn pot.
Pellet Feed
Dial
To turn your heater off, simply turn the feed dial counter-clockwise
until the dial clicks to the "OFF" position. This will stop the feed
of pellets. The blowers will continue to run to cool the heater.
When cool enough, the heater will shut down. DO NOT unplug
unit while combustion blower is operating. This may lead to
smoke escaping from the heater into the room.

Light
Start switch
Blower Dial
1. Press "START" switch
2. Rotate the Pellet feed dial rate to optimum
3. Adjust the air control rod to the preferred setting (this position
will vary depending on venting confi guration and fuel quality).
4. If the heater stops running after approximately 15 minutes,
press "START" switch again.
If no ignition is apparent and pellets are building up in the burn pot,
remove pellets from the burn pot before restarting.
CAUTION: Heater may be hot.
Blower Speed Dial
By adjusting the Blower Speed dial you will vary the rate of airfl ow
into the room by varying the speed of the convection blower. When
you fi rst start the heater, it should be placed in the "OFF" position
in order to heat up the unit as quickly as possible. Once the room
has come up to temperature, the control may be set to a comfort-
able level.
NOTE: The convection blower may cycle to high automatically
depending on the setting of the pellet feed rate and the Blower
Speed. This is a normal safety feature of the unit. Once the heater
has cooled down the blower will return to the set speed.
WARNING: IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO BURN THE UNIT
ON LOW OR HIGH. THE MOST EFFICIENT SETTING IS 4
(OPTIMUM).
Pellet Feed Dial
This switch controls
the amount of heat
output. The switch
has a scale (dial) from
1 through 5. At setting
5 the pellet feed rate
is the greatest.
NOTE: The fl ashing amber light corresponds to the auger motor
feeding the pellets. Wood pellets of different quality may affect the
performance of the heater. If the heater has trouble operating at
the ends of it's range, adjust the feed rate accordingly.

The pellet heater can be operated with or without the ring in place
over the burn pot. With the ring in place, a more effi cient burn will
occur, however more fi ner fl y ash will be experienced. It may be
necessary to clean the burn pot of ash more frequently.
