How your stove works
YourKingstoveutilizesainclinedaugerfuelfeedsystemthatisoperatedbyamicroprocessorcontrolleddigitalcircuit
board.Thedigitalcircuitboardallowstheinclinedaugerfuelfeedsystemtoruninatimer-based,non-continuouscycle;
thiscyclingallowstheaugertorunforapredeterminedperiodofseconds.Theaugerpushespelletsupachutelocated
atthefront/bottomofthehopperwhichinturnfallsthroughanotherchuteintotheburnpot.Yourstoveisequippedwith
anautomaticignitionsystemthatshouldignitethefuelwithin5-10minutesfrompressingtheONbutton.Aspellets
entertheburnpotandignite,outsideairisdrawnacrossthefuelandheatedduringthecombustionprocesswhichis
thenpulledthroughtheheatexchangerbytheexhaustmotorordraftfan.Asthestoveheatsup,roomairiscirculated
aroundtheheatexchangerbymeansofaroomairblower,distributingwarmairintotheroom.
Theamountofheatproducedbythestoveisproportionaltotherateofthefuelthatisburned,andthisrateiscontrolled
bythe“HEATRANGE”setting.Inordertomaintaincombustionofthefuelatadesiredrate,theairprovidedtotheburn
chamberbytheexhaustordraftfanmustbemaintainedprecisely.Toolittleairwillresultinaamethatisnon-energetic
orlazy.Ifthefuelcontinuestoowwithtoolittleairforlongenough,theburnpotwillllwithtoomuchfuelandthere

Matchingtheamountofairrequiredforpropercombustiontothefuelrateistheprimaryobjectiveineffectivelyburning
pelletsofvariousbrandsandqualitiesinyourstove.Theairtofuelratiocanbeadjustedtoallowalmostanyfuelquality
toburneffectivelybyfollowingtheproceduresdetailedintheremainderofthismanual.
Becauseaforceddraftpressureisrequiredforthecombustionprocessinsideyourstove,itisextremelyimportantthat
theexhaustsystembeproperlyinstalledandmaintained.And,thatwhenoperatingyourstove,youmakesurethatthe
