17PP38+ Pellet Stove 3-90-08422R35_10/13Make sure the unit is plugged into a 120 VAC, 60 HZ electricalsource. The power light should be the only light lit.oPerationhelpful hints1. Fines are small pieces of broken pellets (sawdust). Fines donot flow easily and often build up on the hopper funnel bottomangles. You can push these fines into the feeder opening andthen fill the hopper with pellets. As the system works, they willbe burned. Or you can clean them out before filling the hopper.2. The "TEST" cycle will operate the feeder motor for exactly oneminute. Turning to "TEST" again and again may load too muchfuel into the burn pot causing excessive smoke on start-up.3. The firebox low pressure switch will not allow the auger motorto operate if the view door or the ash pan door are open.4. Adjust Feed Rate. If this is your first fire or you are trying differentpellets, set the feed adjuster to #4, Fig. 17. This is a conservativenumber and will probably need to be increased. After you knowa feed rate setting that works well, use that setting. Remember,if your feed rate is too high you may waste fuel.5. This is usually a weekly maintenance procedure. Cleaning theburn pot with the scraper with a small amount of new fuel in thebottom is not a problem. First, scrape the ashes off the front ofthe burn pot into the ash pan. Then, scrape the top surface ofthe burn pot downward into the base of the burn pot. When thestove is ignited these scrapings will be pushed out by the feederand burned.6. The ash pan can hold the ashes from approximately 1 ton ofpremium fuel. This means the ashes will only need to be emptieda few times a year.7. Setting the feed adjuster # for maximum burn: With the unitburning in "AUTO", turn to "Stove Mode" and put the fan on"H". Set the Temperature Dial to #7. Allow the unit to burn forabout 30 minutes and check ash on front of burn pot. Fig. 18.If the ash line is larger than 1", turn the feed adjuster from #4to #5. Allow another 30 minutes of burn time and check again.If , at #6 setting, a 1" or less ash bed is not obtainable, it is nota problem. The 1" ash bed is only a maximum burn rate and atmost normal settings the ash bed will be larger.Fig. 17See Hint #7.Fig. 181"Flame Guidestarting First Firenotice: be sure there is no unburned fuel or othercombustibles in the ash pan prior to lighting.1. turn Feed adjuster to desired feed rate.
