NOTICE:  RAISED PLATFORM INSTALLATIONS

Consideration must be given for fi lling the hopper with fuel 
when determining the height of the raised platform.  It must 
not be so high that it interferes with the safety of fi lling the 
hopper with fuel.

During this cycle:

•  Igniter turns on for 90 seconds to heat up the air in the 

fi repot

•  Combustion blower starts

•  Vacuum switch comes on

•  Feed motor turns on adding fuel to the fi repot and the 

appliance waits for the fi re to start

The duration of start-up depends on the type and quality 
of fuel used.  It is normal to see some smoke during the 
ignition process as moisture evaporates and the fuel lights.  
The smoke will stop once the fi re starts. 

To start your fi rst fi re, you must:

•  Select the appropriate fuel on the FUEL SELECTION screen 

on the thermostat wall control to match the fuel you have 
chosen to burn.  

•  If the proper fuel is not selected your appliance will not 

operate properly.  

•  For example, if you have selected wood pellets and you are 

burning corn, the appliance may not light, it may go out or 
overfeed.  Figure 10.1. 

NOTE:  If you are lighting your appliance for the fi rst time:

•  The feed tube will be empty and it can take some time to fi ll 

it with fuel before you will see a fi re

•  Put a handful of fuel in the fi repot (priming) to speed up the 

process.  You can also do this when you have run com-
pletely out of fuel.

The fi replace engine is controlled by the digital thermostat 
wall control.  The digital display on the wall control will tell 
you what your appliance is doing in the upper left corner 
(System Status).  Figure 10.3.

Every time the thermostat calls for heat, the appliance steps 
through fi ve cycles:

1

Start-Up Cycle

4

Shutdown Cycle

2

Soft-Start Cycle

5

Auto-Clean Cycle

3

Heating Cycle

The duration and characteristics of these cycles may be dif-
ferent with each type of fuel selected.

Once your fuel is selected, select the temperature at the desired 
setting on the SET COMFORT LEVEL screen. Figure 10.2.

The automatic setting will control the heat output based on 
the comfort level selection.  The manual setting allows you to 
manually control the heat output settings. 

• 

Check the hopper and make sure it is empty before fi lling 
with fuel.

•  Open the front to expose the hopper door.  Pull down on the 

hopper door to open and fi ll with fuel.  The hopper door can 
now serve as a shelf to support the bag of fuel

•  Do not over fi ll the hopper.  The hopper door must be com-

pletely closed to maintain proper vacuum and for the feed 
motor to operate.  An error ICON will appear on the wall 
control if the hopper door is not properly closed.

•  Do not leave any part of the fuel bag on the appliance after 

fi lling hopper.
