BuildingaFire

Inordertostartafire,simplycompletethepre‐start‐upcheck,closetheviewingdoor,andpressthe
On/Offbutton.Theunitwillenterapre‐programmedstart‐upcycleandyouwillhaveafireinabout
5minutesorso.

NEVERUSEAGRATEOROTHER
MEANSOFSUPPORTINGTHEFUEL.USEONLYTHE
GOLDENEAGLEAPPROVEDBURNPOT.

Duringthestartupperiod:
1)DONOTopentheviewingdoor.
2)DONOTopenthedampermorethan¼”.
3)DONOTaddpelletstotheburnpotbyhand.
4)DONOTusetheFuelFeed
button(unlessyouareprimingtheaugerafterrunning
outofpellets).Adangerousconditioncouldresult.

Duringthefirstfewfires,yourstovewillemitanodor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becausepaintcouldbeaffected.


a. Fillhopperandcleanburnpot.
b. Press“On/Off”button.Makesurelightison.
c. Thedampershouldbecompletelyclosedoropennomorethan¼”duringstart‐up.Thiswillvary
dependingonyourinstallationandelevation.Oncefireisestablishedadjustfordesiredflame
increasingtheamountthedamperisopenastheheatsettingisincreased.(See“DAMPER

DamperControl

Thedampercontrolrodonthestove’slowerleftsideadjuststhecombustionair.Thiscontrolis
necessaryduetothevariedburncharacteristicsofindividualinstallations,differentpelletbrandsand
pelletfeedrates.Itallowsyoutoimprovetheefficiencyofyourstove.Providingcorrectcombustion
airwillreduce
thefrequencyofcleaningyourglassdoorandpreventtherapidbuildupofcreosote
insideyourstoveandchimney.

Youshouldadjustthedamperbasedonthefire’sappearance.Alow,reddish,dirtyfirecanbe
improvedbypullingthedamperoutslightly.A“blowtorch”firecanbeimprovedbypushingthe
damperinabit.
