A thermostat is required for proper operation of thisappliance, except for corn. At this time, fill the hopperwith pellets, set the thermostat to its lowest setting. Plugthe power cord into nearby outlet.2. The exhaust blower will stay on for approximately 18minutes even though the thermostat is not calling for heat.This is normal.3. L ocate the heat output control switch mounted on theback of the appliance in the upper right corner. Figure23.1. Turn it to the “high” setting by pushing the top ofthe control switch in and then adjust the thermostat to itshighest setting. Remove the right side panel and the redcall light located to the left of the control box will be on.Figure 24.1 on page 24. This indicates the thermostat iscalling for heat.4. The fuel feed system and the igniter should now be on.5. For your first fire it will be necessary to press the resetbutton once approximately 2 minutes after start up andagain in 5 minutes. This will fill the feed system and allowthe appliance to begin dropping pellets. The appliancewill continue to run as long as the thermostat is calling forheat.6. Once the appliance has ignited, let it burn for approximately15 minutes, then set the thermostat to the desired roomtemperature. Adjust the heat output control switch to thedesired setting.B. General Operating Information1. Thermostat Calls For HeatThe appliance is like most modern furnaces; when thethermostat calls for heat, your appliance will automaticallylight and deliver heat. When the room is up to temperatureand the thermostat is satisfied, the red call light will go offand the appliance will shut down.2. Heat Output ControlsThis appliance is equipped with a heat output controlswitch that has three settings or burn rates; low, mediumand high. The appliance will turn on and off as thethermostat demands. When the thermostat calls for heat,the appliance will start up at the burn rate for which it isset. If the appliance is set at one of the lower settings, itwill run quieter but take longer to heat up an area than if itwere set at a higher burn rate. Regardless of the burn rate,when the area is warm enough to satisfy the thermostat,the appliance will shut off.Figure 23.1WARNINGFire Hazard.Keep combustible materials, gasolineand other flammable vapors and liquidsclear of appliance.• Do NOT store flammable materials in the appliance’svicinity.• DO NOT USE GASOLINE, LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE,CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TOSTART OR “FRESHEN UP” A FIRE IN THIS HEATER.• DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDSSUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA OR ENGINE OIL.• DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OF FLUIDS TO START THEFIRE.• Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is inuse.• Combustible materials may ignite.
