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.

4. AdjustFeedRate.Ifthisisyourrstreoryouaretryingdifferent
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 rate 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"StoveMode"andput thefanon"H".Set
theTemperatureDialto#7.Allowtheunittoburnforabout30
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.
