First Startup / Beginning of Season
Before starting the stove, the burn pot, the baffle and the access panels must be installed correctly.
The stove and hopper must have been emptied of all tools and accessories (see «Before operating
the stove»). In addition, all doors and covers must be closed and the vent system must be properly
installed and sealed.
Fill the hopper with pellets and press the «MODE» button once to start the stove in manual mode
(MANUAL) or twice to start the stove in thermostat mode (THERMOSTAT). For the first fire of the
season, or if the unit has run out of pellets, press the «AUGER» button first, then start the stove in
the desired mode. When the stove is turned on, it will automatically ignite. No fire starter is required.
If the stove does not light within 20 minutes of starting, the message «CODE L» will appear in the
display area. See the troubleshooting section for details.
During the first few fires, the stove will emit an odor and a small amount of fumes as the high temperature paint
cures or becomes seasoned to the metal. Maintaining smaller fires will minimize this. Avoid placing items on
stovetop during this period to avoid damaging the paint surface. Make sure the room is well-ventilated. Open
windows. Odors and fumes released during this process are unpleasant but they are not toxic.
Make two or three low intensity fires to initiate the paint hardening and the components
conditioning process. Then, make high intensity fires until the stove no longer smell of paint.
NEVER USE A GRATE OR OTHER MEANS TO SUPPORT THE FUEL. USE ONLY
THE APPROVED BURN POT FOR THIS STOVE AND DO NOT MODIFY IT.
Every Day Startup and Use
Before startup, make sure that the recommended maintenance has been performed according to the
schedule (see «Maintenance» section). Fill the hopper and press the «MODE» button once to start the
stove in manual mode (MANUAL) or twice to start the stove in thermostat mode (THERMOSTAT).
By pressing on the «+» or «-» buttons, it is possible to increase or decrease the feed rate, and thereby
the intensity level of the stove. Intensity levels change, from 1 to 6, can be visualized by the red light
in the heating intensity display area.
Running Out of Pellets
If the stove runs out of pellets, the fire will slowly go out. The convection blower will remain on until
the heat sensor reads 115 °F. The cooling cycle will take a few minutes before all other motors stop.
When this temperature is reached, the message «CODE E» will appear.
Restarting the stove will only be possible when all blowers are off (about 10 minutes after the error
message appears). Press «RESET» and fill the hopper. Press the «AUGER» button and then press the
«MODE» button on the home page to start the stove in the desired mode.
Refueling
When the stove is running, the hopper lid can be opened for 90 seconds to refill the hopper before
the stove stops. A beeping sound that will intensify every 30 seconds can be heard. After 90 seconds,
if the hopper lid is still open, the stove will stop and display the message «CODE d». For more
information, see the troubleshooting section for details. When the stove is stopped, there is no time
limit for filling the hopper. Note that opening the hopper lid will stop the auger from feeding the pellet stove.
THE HOPPER LID MUST BE CLOSED AT ALL TIMES EXCEPT WHEN REFULING.
