4.1 PROGRAM ON STOVE:
Stove is started with start button
Auger is switched on after fire is started
All motors begin running at start of program
Adiustments are made with the power knob
Damper and vacuum switCh control the combustion motor speed
After 30 minutes: ls stove hot enough?

4.2 WHAT HAPPENS IN THE STOVE:
I
"ontinJ" operational mode
> Air is sucked in by the combustion motor
> Negative pressure in combustion chamber
> Turning power knob adjusts auger feed, convection air
and combustion motor speed simultaniously
> Stove is shut off with on/off fuel switch
> Shuts down auger feed
> Stove cools down and shuts itself off

4.5 ROOM CONVECTION AIR:
) Convection motor draws in cold room air in
> Cold air passes through heat exchange area gathering heat from tubes
> Hot air is blown out through heat exchange tubes above the doors
4.6 AIR WASH:
> Gap between the glass and the cast iron'door
> located along the top edge of the glass
> Thickness of a credit card
> negative pressure in burn area draws room air in
> cold air is focused down inside glass face

NOTE:
4.7 SAFETY FUNCTIONS:
> high limit switch:
NOTE:
) low limit switch:
> others:
* Normally closed switch
* Power runs through it
" lf stove temperature rises (over 2120 Fl , switch opens
and stops power from reaching auger motor
" Normally oPen
* Closes once exhaust temperature rises above 142o
" Reopens when exhaust cools below 1220 F
r Alerts circuit board to start shut down program
* Capacitors on convection and combustion motors
offers protection from power fluctuation
* Negative pressure prevent leaks into the room
* Vacuum switch opens auger circuit if a loss in
negative pressure is detected. This protection
stops auger feed if door is oPened

NOTE:
5.6 PREBURN PROCEDURES:
1 Check shipping carton for any sign of external damage caused by
shipping! lf container damage is present make thorough inspection
ofstovefordamagellfanydamageispresent,documentdamage
and file claim against shipper!
Check stove to make sure all components are present
check bottom of the hopper to make sure there is no foreign
material that could jam the auger
4 Connect power cord to 120Volts AC
SFillpelletsinhopperandstartthestovelettingitrunforone
cold cycle {30 minutes)' This will prime the auger'
6 After stove is off, put a small handful of petlets in the burn pot, use
a gel fire starter (stir around a little bit) and light it'
close the door and let the fire burn' Turn the fuel switch to the on
position as needed. set the power knob to desired operating position'
7 Let stove burn at least one hour, opening and closing doors
every 10 minutes to make sure the door gasket does not
stick to curing Paint.
I Turn fuel switch to off and let the stove cool down;
it will shut itself off.
9 You now have a product that you can install with confidence
that it will function correctly, provided you have properly instructed
the customer to the operational and maintenance procedures!

5.7 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES:
Burn pot: clean as needed, 2 to 7 times weekly depending on
characteristics of pellet fuel used and operational
habits of stove owner
Ash pan: clean as needed, visually apparent
Doorglass:asneeded,usuallydaily,canbemoreorlessfrequent
depending on characteristics of pellet fuel used and
operational habits of stove owner
Heat exchange rods: once or twice a day, depending on characteristics of
pellet fuel used and operational habits of stove owner
Hopper: let hopper run almost empty and vacuum sawdust from
aroundauger.Dothismonthlyifdumpingpelletsdirectly
from the bag to hoPPer'
Annual service: remove combustion fan from cast aluminium housing,
clean impellar and housing area' clean out area in
combustion chamber (ash pan and burn pot), clean
heat exchange tubes, clean all the vent piping' remove
convection fan and clean impellar' clean hopper and
auger shaft, clean dirt and dust from all rear areas
ofthestove,particularlyaugermotorandareasclose
to circuittry!
