OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Check and Fill the Fuel Hopper with Pellets:
This Pellet Stove is available as a freestanding unit or as a fireplace insert. There is a different method for filling
the hopper for each type of heater:
 To check and fill the hopper of the freestanding heater, simply lift the hopper door, visually check the hopper
and add pellets when needed.
 To check and fill the hopper of the insert heater, pull hopper lid forward, visually check the hopper and add
pellets when needed.
CAUTION: DO NOT OVERFILL THE PELLET FUEL HOPPER. AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION, AUGER WILL NOT
OPERATE AT ANY TIME WHEN FUEL HOPPER DOOR IS OPEN.
Pre‐start Check‐up:
Make sure that all parts of the Pellet Stove Room Heater are cool before proceeding. Remove the burn pot and
clean out any ash debris. Be sure to re‐install the burn pot in the correct position (see page 29).
The blowers and automatic fuel supply are controlled from a panel located on the right hand side of the stove.
Note: Your Pellet Stove may omit an odor as oil residue from the manufacturing process burns off and the high
temperature paint cures. You can minimize this effect by running a smaller fire for the first few hours of
operation. Avoid placing any items on the stove top during this period as the stove’s paint could be
permanently damaged.
Lighting Instructions:
ATTENTION: Viewing door must be securely latched to ensure proper stove operation. Push door‐handle
downward until latch is fully engaged; you will feel the latch engage and hear an audible click.
When first operating your Pellet Stove, depress the MODE button until the LED indicator above MANUAL lights up.
This will engage MANUAL mode and provide you with full control of the heater’s control board functions and allow
you to familiarize yourself with how the heater works. The heat level for T‐STAT mode can only be set when the
control is in the Manual Mode.
Starting Up The Pellet Stove Room Heater:
Whenever Operating the Pellet Stove for First Time, or if The Stove Runs Out Of Pellets, it is Necessary to Prime
the Auger with Pellet Fuel. To do this, Press and Hold the AUGER Button for Approximately 3 Seconds until the
AUGER LED illuminates. This Procedure will prime the Auger and then Automatically Initiate the Normal Ignition
Cycle.
CAUTION: Do not use this procedure for normal startup. To do so would cause excessive fuel build‐up in the
burn pot.
For normal startup with pellets fuel in the auger, press and release the On/Off button. The LED indicator light
above the On/Off button will alternately flash green then red to indicate that the start‐up cycle has begun. The
light above the Auger button will flash intermittently to indicate the activation of the auger feeding the pellets into
the burn pot. The electric igniter will also be activated at this time. The igniter takes a few minutes to come up to
temperature in order to ignite the pellets in the burn pot. It will normally take between 4 minutes and 8 minutes
for pellets to ignite.
NOTE: If pellets do not ignite within 12 minutes the heater will shut down, requiring you to turn on the heater
and repeat the start‐up process.
