BLOWERSPEEDS
Theconvectionblower(theonethatblowsairintotheroom),andthecombustionblowerarebothcontrolledbythecontrolpanel
dependingonwhichheatlevelsettingyousetthestoveon.TheBlowerswilloperateatapre‐programmedspeed
dependingupon
theheatlevelsettingyouareoperatingthestoveat.However,youcanmanuallyadjusttheconvectionblowerspeed.Youcan
increasetheconvectionblowerspeedabovethepre‐programmedlevelbypressingtheHighFanbutton.Foroptimalheatoutput
andlongevityoftheconvectionblower,youshould
allowtheconvectionfantobecontrolledbythecontrolpanelmostofthetime.
Inmostcases,youwillonlywanttoincreasetheconvectionfanspeedwhenyoulowertheheatlevelsettingbymorethantwo
levels.Insuchacasereturnittothenormalspeed
fortheheatlevelyouareoperatingthestoveonafterabout15minutes.

NOTE:RUNNINGTHECONVECTIONFANONTHEHIGHSETTINGFORLONGPERIODSOFTIMEWILLDEGRADETHELIFESPANOFYOURCONVECTION BLOWER.
SHUTDOWNPROCEDURES
TheshutdownproceduresfortheSP6000Multi‐fuelstovearesimpleandstraightforward.SimplypresstheON/OFFbuttonone

RESTARTINGAWARMSTOVE
Onoccasion,thestovemayhavetoberestartedwhen,forexample,ithasbeenshutoffforashcleaning.Ifthereisnofireor
glowingembersintheburnpotand
nosmokepresentinthefirebox,theviewingdoorcanbeopened.Ifthedoorisopenfor30
secondsormorewhilethefansarerunning,theairpressuresafetyswitchwilldeactivateandpreventtheaugerfeedfrom
operating,asindicatedbytheHeatLevel2(red)light
blinking.Thefanswillcontinuetorun.YoumaythenremovetheStirRod
CotterPinandremovetheStirRodandBurnPottoremovetheashesandunburnedfuel.

CAUTION:THEBURNPOTANDSTIRRODWILLBEHOTANDCANCAUSEBURNSTOUNPROTECTEDSKIN.USETHERMALLY
INSULATED
GLOVESTOREMOVETHESTIRRODCOTTERPIN,STIRRODANDBURNPOT.
FollowingtheLightingInstructions,placewoodpelletsintheburnpot,applystartergelandlight.Allowonetotwominutesforthe
woodpelletstocatchfire.Thenshutthedoor,andpresstheOn/OffbuttonontheControlPanel.Afterapproximatelyfour

feedingfueltotheburnpot.
OPENINGTHEFUELHOPPERLID
Thestoveisequippedwithanaugerinterlockswitchwhichinterruptspowertothefuelfeedaugerwhenthelidisopen.Thisisa
safetyfeaturerequiredbythesafetycodeswhichwillavoidinjuryshouldfingersor
clothingbecomeentangledwiththefuelfeed
auger.

Dependingontheheatlevelthestoveatwhichthestoveisoperating,thefireintheburnpotmayextinguishwithinafewminutesif
thehopperlidisleftopen.

Bearthisinmindwhenrefuelingthestove.Thisfeature
canalsobeusedtotemporarilystopthefuelfeedifitappearsthattheburn
pothasbecomefullofunburnedfuel.Thiscanoccasionallyoccurduringstartupdependingontheamountofwoodpelletsusedto
startthefire.Donotleavethelidopenforextendedperiods,as
thefirewillgoout,andthereispotentialforadmittingsmoketo
theroom.
