DAILY OPERATION
The hopper and stove top will be hot during operation; therefore, you should always use some type of hand
protection when refueling your stove.
Never place your hand near the auger while the stove is in operation.
This unit should be filled when the hopper level drops below 3-inches.
In the event of a power outage, the stove WILL NOT function. It is very important that unit be vented properly (with
outside air), as the natural draft is needed to clear the smoke from the stove during a power outage. If the unit was “ON”
when the power outage occurred, one of the following will take place:
If the stove is still warm, it will resume feeding fuel and continue to operate normally. If the fire has gone out, you will
have to press the “OFF” button and then the “ON” button again to begin a new start-up sequence.
If the stove has cooled-off, it will reset to its “OFF” condition. At this point, you may press the “ON” button and the
unit will begin a new start-up sequence.
NOTE: The unit will also shut down in the event of an exhaust blower failure; if this is the case, the unit will not re-start
and you must contact Customer Service at (800) 750-2723.
SAFETY AND CONVENIENCE FEATURES
Your King/Ashley incorporates a safety pressure switch that helps ensure that everything is in proper working order
before feeding fuel to the burn pot. Because the stove works using an induced draft pressure, the stove will not continue
to operate if the viewing door is left open; or if the combustion blower fails or the exhaust system is blocked.
The temperature limit control will prevent your stove from operating at abnormally high temperatures. Should the
stove temperature begin to approach the factory pre-set limit, the temperature limit control will automatically slow down
the auger feed rate until the temperature returns to a normal condition. Even though the heater will operate on setting
“9” (HI), we recommend to operate your heater on this setting for only a short period of time. (1 hour etc.)
Your King/Ashley stove also includes an auto-start igniter as a standard feature. The use of other fire starter materials
(wood chips, starter gel, etc.) is not necessary. By simply pressing the “ON” button on the digital control panel, your
stove will begin to feed fuel and automatically start within 5 minutes.

Failure to clean and maintain this unit as indicated can result in poor performance and safety hazards.
Unplug your stove’s electrical cord prior to removing the back panel or opening the exhaust system for any
inspection, cleaning, or maintenance work.
Never perform any inspections, cleaning, or maintenance on a hot stove.
Do not operate stove with broken glass , leakage of flue gas may result.
EXHAUST SYSTEM
The by products of combustion contain small particles of fly ash. Fly ash will collect in the exhaust venting system and
restrict the flow of flue gases. Incomplete combustion, such as during startup, shutdown, or incorrect operation of the
stove will lead to soot formation which will collect in the exhaust system. Therefore, it is important that the exhaust
system be inspected and cleaned at least monthly during the burning season.
Check the clean out tees periodically to determine the required cleaning schedule. 3 or 4-inch chimney brushes are
available for chimney cleaning. If the exhaust system or outside air pipes have screens on them, frequently clean the
screen. A plugged screen will shut off combustion air and cause a fire to die or burn poorly.
