Pay particular attention to the fire protection,venting and thermostat installation instructions.2. Double check that the ash drawer and fireboxare empty!3. Check the position of the thermocouple, locatedabove the fire pot, and make sure that it protrudesapproximately 3/4 inch (19mm) into the fire pot.4. Close the front door.G. General Operating Information1. Thermostat Calls For HeatThe appliance is like most modern furnaces; whenthe thermostat calls for heat, your appliance willautomatically light and deliver heat. When the roomis up to temperature and the thermostat is satisfied,the red call light will shut off and the appliance willshut down (Figure 10.1).2. Heat Output ControlsThis appliance is equipped with a heat output controlswitch that has three settings or burn rates; low,medium and high. The appliance will turn on and off asthe thermostat demands. When the thermostat calls forheat, the appliance will always start up on High. Afterburning approximately 4 minutes, the appliance willthen burn at the rate at which it was originally set. Ifthe appliance is set at one of the lower settings, it willrun quieter but takes longer to heat up an area thanif it were set at a higher burn rate. Regardless of theburn rate, when the area is warm enough to satisfy thethermostat, the appliance will shut off.Figure 10.1Heat Output SwitchReset ButtonRed Call LightFuseControl BoxRed / GreenLightBlueBlinkingLightCAUTIONTip of thermocouple must be in contact with the insideend of the thermocouple cover.Missed ignitions can occur.MoistureAlways burn dry fuel. Burning fuel with high moisturecontent takes heat from the fuel and tends to cool theappliance, robbing heat from your home. Damp pellet fuelcan clog the feed system.Size• Pellets are either 1/4 inch or 5/16 inch (6-8mm)in diameter• Length should be no more that 1-1/2 inches (38mm)• Pellet lengths can vary from lot to lot from thesame manufacturer• Due to length variations, the flame height (feed rate)may need adjusting occasionally.Performance• Higher ash content requires the ash drawer to beemptied more frequently• Hardwoods require more air to burn properly• Premium wood pellets produce the highest heat output.• Burning pellets longer than 1-1/2 inches (38mm)can cause an inconsistent fuel feed rate and/ormissed ignitions.Changing to Different Fuel Type• Empty the hopper of the previous fuel• Thoroughly vacuum hopper before filling with thenew fuelThe burn rate, BTU content and heat output will all varydepending on the fuel selected.F. Filling the HopperOpen the hopper lid by lifting the handle. Fill the hopperwith fuel. Close the hopper lid. The unit will not feed withthe hopper lid open and the fire will go out.NOTE: UNIT CAN USE 1:1 PELLET/CORN MIXTURE.We recommend the use of a 1:1 pellet/cornmixture. The only change in operation is that thefeed rate may require a slight adjustment.Tested and approved for wood pellets and shelled corn.Burning of any other type of fuel voids your warranty.CAUTIONStorage• Wood pellets should be left in their original sealed baguntil using to prevent moisture absorption.• Do not store any pellet fuel within the clearancerequirements or in an area that would hinder routinecleaning and maintenance.
