American Energy Systems MagnuM T40 - Manual (Page 13)

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Each time the stove is started, the firepot should be checked for debris and clear air holes. Some
pellets will cause the firepot to build up more frequently making it necessary to stir and clean the firepot
more often. Do not allow ash to build up underneath the firepot.
PRIMING THE AUGER
Never leave the stove unattended during priming or start-up. Priming the auger is only required
when the stove is new or when the hopper has completely run out of fuel.
TO PRIME THE AUGER:
A. Load the hopper with pellets.
B. Push the “On/Off” switch to the “On” position.
C. Press the “Manual Feed” switch until pellets
begin to drop into the firepot. When pellets
begin to drop regularly, the auger is primed.
STARTING YOUR STOVE (AC Power Mode)
Note: See page 12 for starting your stove in
DC power mode (12v battery back-up)
A. Pull the air damper control rod out to approximately ¾.
B. Clean out and dump the firepot. (See note at top of page)
C. Turn the “Fuel Feed Control” to the 3
rd position.
D. Press the “On/Off” switch to the “On” position.
E. Push the “Start” button. This stove is equipped with a
self igniter that will start the pellets without the use of
fire starter. Pellets will drop into the firepot and ignite
in 3-5 minutes. The igniter will continue to run for
approximately 10 min. until a fire is established. If a
fire is not started within the minimum cycle, the auger
will stop feeding.
Note: Opening the door after the “Start” button is pushed
will stop the auger from feeding.
The “Manual Feed” switch allows you to prime the auger and
add fuel to the firepot automatically. In normal operation,
this switch is in its center position. (with exception for “High
Fan” override) Do not use this switch in the “Manual Feed”
position under normal operation, as it could overload the
firepot, smother the fire and lead to a dangerous
condition.
The convection blower speed varies directly with the feed rate. The “High”
Fan” switch will override the variable fan function. It will set the convection
blower to high at any feed rate setting.
