START UP INSTRUCTIONS – PELLET
Now that your furnace has been properly installed, it’s time to fire it up!
1. Plug in the furnace. NOTE: Make sure you plug into a properly grounded, surge-
protected outlet that has proper polarity so as not to damage the circuitry of the
control board.
2. Remove the rear panel of the furnace. Push in the white summer fan button located
in the right side of unit in silver box, thus starting the blower. When blower starts
and is running smoothly, pull the summer fan button back out to stop the blower.
3. Check the damper on the draft inducer making sure that it is set at 50% open. On
the primary control board, set the cycle time to eight (8) minutes and the pilot draft
switch to medium.
4. Set the remote thermostat to 90°F.
5. Turn the power switch to Draft Fan. The draft fan should now come up to full speed.
Look down the hopper to make sure nothing is obstructing the cup. Open the front
panel to get access to the fire pot door. Open the fire pot door and place your hand
over the fire pot and see if the draft inducer is forcing air into the fire pot. Turn the
power switch back to off.
6. Load the hopper with pellets.
7. Place approximately 2 full cups of pellets in the bottom of the fire pot. Apply non-
volatile lighting material such as gel alcohol or other pellet appliance approved
lighter. Light fire. NOTE: NEVER use charcoal lighter or kerosene to light the pellets.
8. Let burn for 5 minutes. Securely close fire pot door. Replace front panel of furnace.
9. Turn power switch for Feed System. The draft fan will come up to high and the flame
will increase. Keep the thermostat turned to 90°F for approximately eight (8)
minutes. A solid flame will need to be established before the burner will remain
locked in. Then set your thermostat to the desired temperature.
10. Your furnace should continue to heat up until the blower comes on thus moving heat
through the ductwork.
11. After 10 minutes, if the fire in the burn pot has gone out, let the fire go out
completely and start from step 7 again.
12. The furnace will emit smoke and fumes for a few minutes from the paint curing on
the initial fire up. Provide adequate ventilation when this occurs.
13. Sit back and enjoy the heat from your Traeger Furnace.
