CONTROL PANEL

Turning the stove OFF/ON, as well as adjustments for the fuel

feed rate and distribution blower speed are performed by

pressing the appropriate button(s) on the control panel which

is located on the lower left-hand side of your King/Ashley stove

(see FIGURE 10).
Pressing the “ON” button on the control panel will begin the

start-up sequence for the stove. Fuel will begin to feed through

the auger feed system and, once an adequate amount of fuel

has been deposited into the burn pot, the auto-start igniter

will ignite the fuel.
Pressing the up/down arrow buttons beneath the “HEAT
RANGE”

and “BLOWER SPEED” will adjust the amount of

fuel that is fed to the burnpot and the amount of room air drawn

through the stove to be heated, respectively. Either value can

be set from 1 to 9 (lowest to highest).
Pressing the “OFF” button on the control panel will cause the stove to enter its shut-down sequence. The fuel feed

system will stop pulling fuel from the hopper and, once the fire goes out and the stove cools down, the blowers will stop

running.
The “A”, “B”, and “C” buttons on the control panel are reserved for diagnostic use only. These controls are disabled by

default when the unit is shipped from our factory.

UNIT PREPARATION

After carefully unpacking and reading the instructions for installing your stove, you will need to perform the following

steps:

Attach the included spring handle to the door handle by screwing it on in a respective location.
Attach the electrical cord to the back of the stove first; then plug it into a 110-volt outlet (an outlet surge protector is

highly recommended).

Check that there is NO fuel in the hopper or burn-pot.
Check that the viewing door is securely closed.
Press the “ON” button on the control panel. This will start the auger and exhaust blower.
Check that the auger and the exhaust blower are operating (the distribution blower will not start at this time). DO

NOT open the viewing door, the auto-start igniter will get very hot during this test. The stove will automatically shut

down after approximately 23 minutes.
