Contour Pellet Stove
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
d. Check that all accessories have been removed before
lling the hopper with pellets and loosen set screw
located at the bottom of the hopper so that the feed rate
adjustment rod will slide up and down by only loosening
the wing nut at the top. See Figure 1, page 9.
e. A thermostat is required for proper operation of this
stove. At this time, set the thermostat to its lowest
setting.
3. START YOUR FIRST FIRE
a. Now plug the stove in. The combustion blower will come
on. Even though the thermostat is not calling for heat,
the combustion blower will stay on for approximately 10
minutes. This is normal.
b. Next, nd the heat output control switch; it is mounted on
the back of the stove in the upper right hand corner. See
Fig. A. Switch it to the high setting by pushing the top
of the switch in, then adjust the thermostat to its highest
setting. With the right side panel opened, the red light
located to the left of the control box is now visible
and will be on. This will indicate that the thermostat
is calling for heat.
c. The fuel feed system and the igniter are now turned on.
d. For your rst re, it will be necessary to press the reset
button (located just beneath the heat output switch on
the back of the stove) once approximately two minutes
after start up, and again at ve minutes. This will ll the
feed system and allow the stove to light.
e. The stove will now continue to run as long as the
thermostat is calling for heat. Once the stove has ignited,
let the stove burn for approximately 15 minutes, then set
the thermostat to the desired room temperature. Adjust
the heat output control to the desired setting
4. GENERAL OPERATION INFORMATION
a. Understand that the stove is like most modern furnaces
in that when the thermostat calls for heat, your stove
will automatically light and deliver heat in the most
efcient and economical way. When the room is up to
temperature and the thermostat is satised, the stove will
turn off. This stove is equipped with a heat output control
that has three settings or burn rates: low, medium and
high. Essentially the stove operates the same on all
three burn rates. The stove will turn on and off as the
thermostat demands. However, with the stove set on the
lower settings, the burn times will be longer.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
b. Once all of the start-up procedures have been
completed, simply set the thermostat to a comfortable
setting and enjoy the stove. But remember, you will
have to add pellets. The thermostat’s location will
have some effect on the stove’s operation. When
the thermostat is located close to the stove, it may
require a slightly higher temperature setting to keep
the rest of the house comfortable. If the thermostat
location is upstairs while the stove is downstairs, you
will notice higher temperatures near the stove.
c. During each ignition cycle, it is normal to see some
smoke. The smoke will stop once the re starts.
d. After your stove has been burning for approximately
10 minutes, the convection blower will automatically
turn on. This blower transfers heat from your stove
into the room, and will continue to run after the
thermostat has stopped calling for heat until all of the
heat has been extracted from the stove.
e. Occasionally, the stove may run out of fuel and shut
itself down. If this happens, the red light will be on.
To restart the stove, ll the hopper and press the
reset button next to the heat output switch. (Refer to
item #5, and Fig. A for location.) When you press the
reset button the red light will go out, and when the
button is released the light will come back on. You
should see a re in about four minutes. If not, press
the reset button again.
5. HEAT OUTPUT CONTROLS
Located on the right rear of stove is the Heat Output
Control Switch (rocker switch). See Fig. A below.
