Operating Instructions
Figure 3: Dial-A-Fire control panel.
1. Check and fill hopper with pellets.
2. Make sure unit is plugged into a working outlet.
3. Switch the power “ON” by pushing the start-up switch once
only.
4. Turn knob “B” to the 12 o’clock position. (Lower grade
pellets may need a higher setting on the feed rate).
NOTE: Unit will take longer to light if the hopper has been
completely emptied or is the first fire up.
5. Wait until the fire is established, then turn “Knob B” to the
desired heat output. The stove may not be able to burn in the
BLUE ZONE if poor quality wood pellets are being used. Adjust
the slider-damper to the appropriate setting (see “S
LIDER
/
D
AMPER
S
ETTING
” section.
6. If the stove should shut off after fifteen (15) minutes and
there is still a fire in the firebox – press the start-up switch
once more. If the fire went out, return to step 2 and re-light
the stove.
KNOB “A”: Fan Controller. By adjusting the knob you will vary
the rate of airflow into the room by varying the speed of the convection blower. When you first start the
stove, it should be placed in the “OFF” position in order to heat the unit as quickly as possible. Once the
room has come up to temperature, the control may be set to a comfortable level. *Note: The convection
blower may cycle to high automatically depending on the setting of knobs “A” and “B”. This is a normal
safety feature of the unit.
SPECIAL NOTES: The flashing green light corresponds to the auger feed rate.
The scale on the Dial A Fire knob represents a range, not exact times. Wood pellets of differing quality
may affect the performance of the stove. If the stove has trouble operating at the ends of its’ range,
turn the heat output knob back slightly.
KNOB “B”: Dial a Fire Heat Output Knob. This knob controls the amount of heat output. The dial has a
scale with the blue zone representing the coolest setting of the stove, and the red zone representing
the hottest setting. The scale on knob “B” represents a range, not exact at times or fuel quantities.
Wood pellets of differing quality may affect the performance of the stove. If the stove has trouble
operating at either end of its range, turn the heat output knob back slightly.

To turn your stove off, simply turn the HEAT OUTPUT knob (“Knob B”) counter-clockwise until the knob
clicks to the “OFF” position. This will stop the feed of pellets. The blowers will continue to run and cool
the stove. When cool enough, the stove will shut down.
DO NOT unplug unit while combustion
fan is operating. This may lead to smoke escaping from the stove.

Circuit Board Only: The combustion blower determines the adjustment of air from high fire to low fire.
The combustion exhaust blower is a variable speed blower controlled by the heat output. When the heat
output is turned down the blower speed will slow, decreasing the airflow through the firebox. As the heat
output knob is turned up, the blower speed increases drawing more air through the firebox.
