Starting up
(We strongly recommend a surge protector
be used with our units).
Verify the hopper is clean and free
of foreign matter and there is current at your outlet.
Fill the hopper with wood pellets; do not allow any part of the bag or any
foreign
material in the hopper, as this may jam the augers. Ensure that all pellet
matter is
cleared from the hopper lid gasket. Close the hopper lid and secure the
latches. Place a handful of pellets in the burn pot, spread a small amount of fire
starter over
the handful of pellets and ignite them. Wait a few minutes before closing
the door
and pressing the "ON" touch pad on the control board then, set the heat
range and blower speed to 5 and 5 then wait 2 to 3 minutes before slowly
closing the door.-- If the door is closed before
the pellets are burning thoroughly, the exhaust blower could put out the
fire.
If for
some reason the unit does not come on after pressing the "ON" touch pad, the
cord
should be disconnected for two to three minutes. After this, the control
board should
reset and can be started again. If you still have problems, call our
factory.
Never place gel on any hot surface or hot coals, and
never use gasoline, lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, diesel
fuel or any other flammable liquid to start the fire!
Check to be sure the flame is sustaining itself and continues to increase.
If the flame goes out, be sure the burn pot is cleaned out and free of hot
coals before repeating the procedure

Approved starter materials
for pellet stoves.

First fire (curing out)
Note :
The operation of this unit should be checked (dry run) prior to this
procedure.

Click here for Settings
Adjust the "Heat Range" and "blower speed" to a "5"
setting and allow the stove to burn in this manner for
at least
three (3) hours. This will
allow the unit to "cure out" as the paint and the oils from the
manufacturing process burn off. This process will generally produce an odor
and in some cases a haziness in the room. We recommend you open doors and
windows in your dwelling during this process.

Subsequent Cold Starts: In a cold start situation, the unit should be
operated at number "5" settings until the room air blower begins to operate.
