9. Fillhopperwith pelletsandremoveashes asrequired.
Keep the hopper lid and rebox doors closed while in
operation.Maintaindoorsealsingoodcondition.Failure
todosowillaffectoperation oftheapplianceandmay
permitescapeofsmokeorgasesinto the living space
causingsmokedetectorstosound.
1. Fines are small pieces of broken pellets (sawdust). Fines do
notoweasilyandoftenbuilduponthehopperfunnelbottom
angles.Thesenescanbepushedintothefeederopeningand
thenllthehopperwithpellets.Asthesystemworks,theywill
be burned.
2. The "TEST" cycle will operate the feed motor for exactly one
minute. Turning to "TEST" again and again may load too much
fuel into the burn pot causing excessive smoke on start-up.
3. Thereboxlowpressureswitchwillnotallowtheaugermotor
or the igniter element to operate if the view door is open.
4. AdjustFeedLimit.Ifthisisyourrstreoryouaretryingdifferent
pellets, set the feed limit to #4, Figure 4.6 This is a conservative
number and will probably need to be increased. After you know a
Feed Limit setting that works well, use that setting. Remember,
if your feed rate is too high you may waste fuel.
5. This is usually a weekly maintenance procedure. Cleaning the
burn pot with the scraper with a small amount of new fuel in the
bottom is not a problem. First, scrape the ashes off the front of
the burn pot into the ash pan. Then scrape the holed surface
downward into the burn pot. When the stove feeds, these
scrapings will be pushed out by the feeder.
6. The ash pan can hold the ashes from approximately 1 ton of
premium fuel. This means the ashes will only need to be emptied
a few times a year.
7. Setting the feed limit # for maximum burn: With the unit burning
in "AUTO", turn to "Constant Burn" and put the fan on "H". Set
the Temperature Dial to #7. Allow the unit to burn for about 30
minutes and check ash on front of burn pot. Figure 4.7. If the
ash line is larger than 1", turn the feed limit from #4 to #5. Allow
another 30 minutes of burn time and check again. If, at #6 setting,
a 1" or less ash bed is not obtainable, it is not a problem. The
1" ash bed is only at maximum burn rate and during normal
operation, the ash bed will be larger.

TheAdvancePelletStoveismorethanjustautomaticignition,
it is also automatic temperature control. The automatic
systemwillallowtheresizetobeadjustedtomatchthe
heatingneedsandevenputthereoutifnecessary.Ifheat
isneededafterthereisout,theAdvancePelletStovewill
automaticallyre-igniteandadjusttheresizetomatchthe
heating need. The totally automatic room sensor mode is
recommended because of its efciency. The unit can be
switched between "AUTO" and "DISABLED" at any time
duringoperation.
Igniter switch to “AUTO”
Room Temperature Mode
In“RoomTempMode”heatoutputiscontrolledautomatically
bytheRoomSensingProbe.WhentheRoomSensingProbe
callsforheat,thestovewillincreaseoutput.WhentheRoom
SensingProbeisgettingclosetothesettemperature,the
stovewillbegintoleveloffoutputandkeepthereburning
atjusttherighttemperaturetomaintainthatsetting.
High output is determined by the Feed Limit setting. This
setting,generallyon#4,canbeincreasedifhigherburnrates
arenecessary(Figure4.6).Theunit’smaximumburnrate
shouldnotcreatelessthan1”ofashontheburnpotfront
edge(Figure4.7).Overfeedingisnotasafetyconcern,but
fuelmaybewastedifunburnedpelletsfallintotheashpan.
In“RoomTempMode”aconstantfuelconsumptionrateis
sacricedforexactroomtemperature.Therefore,asitgets
coldermorepelletswillbeburnedautomatically.
The distribution blower speed will vary according to the
positionofthemodeselectorpointer,andresize.
Igniter switch to “AUTO”
Constant Burn Mode
Thisallowsforautomaticignitionuponstart-uponly.Theunit
canthenbesetatanydesiredsetting.Theheatoutputand
fuel consumption will remain constant regardless of room
temperature.Theunit’smaximumfeedrateshouldnotcreate
lessthan1”ofashontheburnpotfrontedge.Figure4.7.
Theunit’slowburnormaintenancesettingisaslowasitwill
go.Itwillnotgooutunlessitrunsoutoffueloristurnedoff.
Shut-Down Procedure
To kill the re or stop burning the stove, turn the Mode
Selectorto“OFF”.Thiswillcause theretodiminish and
burnout.Whenthereburnsoutandthestovecoolsdown
everythingwillstop.
Ifyoupulltheplugtoshutdownthestove,allmotorswillstop.
Thismaycauseincompletecombustionandsmokeinthe
rebox.Iftheloaddoorisopened,thesmokemayescape.
Thebestwaytoshutdownthestoveissimplyletitrunout
ofpellets,thestovewillshutdownautomatically.
Room Temperature Mode: This setting will produce a room temperature
of 70 degrees with the distribution blower at medium speed.
This setting will produce medium heat with the distribution
blower on "low".
This setting will produce continuous maximum heat output with
the distribution blower at full speed.

D. Glass Maintenance
Theglassusedinyourstoveismanufacturedtoexactstandardstowithstandthehighheatofthere,butlikeallglass,it
must be treated with common sense and care. Never slam the door shut or strike the glass with a heavy object. If the glass
is broken or damaged, do not operate the stove until it has been replaced.
Glass - Replacement
Ifthestove’sglassiscrackedorbroken,youmustreplaceitbeforeoperatingyourstove.Removepiecescarefully.Replace
glassonlywithHarman®replacementglass;do not use substitutes.
Carefullyremovedamagedglass,gasketmaterial,andglassclips(setaside).
Installtheselfadhesive1/4”gasketmaterialaroundthefrontfaceoftheglass.Settheglasspanelandgasketgentlyonto
thedoor.Installtheglassclipsandtighten.
Glass - Cleaning
Sometimesitwillbenecessarytocleanaccumulatedashfromtheglasssurface;allowingthisashtoremainontheglass
forlongperiodscanresultin“etching”duetotheacidityoftheash.Nevercleantheglasswhileitishot,anddo not use
abrasivesubstances.Washthesurfacewithcoolwater,andrinsethoroughly.Youmaywishtouseanon-abrasivecleaner
specicallydesignedforuseonstoveglass.Inanycase,drythoroughlybeforerelightingyourstove.

CAUTION: Surfaces are hot while in operation, Wear
gloves to protect from burns.
1. Opensidedoors.Figure5.1
2. Releasespringlatchesontherightandleftsideofthe
ashpan.Figure5.2
3. Slideashpanforwardenoughtoliftwithcenterhandle.
Emptyashesandreinstallashpan.Figure5.3
Disposal of Ashes:
Ashes should be placed in a steel container with a tight
tting lid. The closed container of ashes should be moved
outdoors immediately and placed on a noncombustible
oor or on the ground, well away from all combustible
materials, pending nal disposal. If ashes are disposed
of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they
should be retained in the closed container until all
cinders have thoroughly cooled. Other waste shall not
be placed in this container.
4. Inspectthegasketropelocatedonthebacksideofthe
ashpanfordamage.Replaceifnecessary.
5. Insertspringlatchfronthooksintotheashpansideslots.
Pushbothlatchestotherearatthesametimetolatch.
Soot and Fly Ash
Formation and Need For Removal -The products of
combustionwillcontainsmallparticlesofyash.Theyash
willcollectintheexhaustventingsystemandrestricttheow
oftheuegases.Incompletecombustion,suchasoccurs
duringstartup,shutdown,orincorrectoperationoftheroom
heater,willleadtosomesootformationwhichwillcollectin
the exhaust venting system. The exhaust venting system
shouldbeinspectedatleastonceeveryyeartodetermineif
cleaningisnecessary.
Whenremovingtheashpantoemptyashes,youwillnotea
buildupofashnesbehindtheashpan.Thisspacebehind
theashpanwasdesignedtoallowthenestofalloutofthe
verticalheatexchangersandcollectwheretheyareeasily
cleaned out, rather than going into the ue pipe where it
wouldbedifculttoclean.Thesenesshouldnotbeallowed
tobuildup.Theymaynotallowtheashpantobeseatedinto
itsgasketproperly.
NOTE: If an extreme amount of force is required to snap
the latch on one or both sides of the ash pan, the area
behind the ash pan should be checked for ash build up.
