START-UP PROCEDURE
Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter uid, or similar liquids to start or
“freshen up” a re in this stove. Keep all such liquids well away from the stove while it is in use.

5.) Closethehopperlid.The unit WILL NOT feed fuel with the hopper lid open.
6.) Makesurethattheviewingdoorissecurelyclosed(thesafetypressureswitchwillnotallowthestovetofeedfuelif

8.) Thestovewillbegintofeedfuelandtheauto-start ignitor willignitethefuelinapproximately3to5minutes.
When starting the unit for the rst time, the auger mechanism will not be primed with pellets. This will cause
the auto-start ignitor to time out and shut the unit down. Pressing the button again will restart the startup
sequence and the stove should ignite properly. However, on some occassions, this process may need to be
repeated until ignition depending on fuel size and quality.
