within these first 5 minutes. For the remainder of the 12 minutes of the startup cycle, the fuel feed auger will
continue to feed pellets into the firepot at the predetermined warm up rate. If the control board senses that
the stove has warmed up sufficiently at any time during this 12 minute startup cycle, the convection blower
will automatically turn on at the speed determined by the position of the Fuel Feed Control Knob and blow
heated air into the home. The fuel feed rate, however, will remain at its predetermined warm up rate until
the end of the 12 minute cycle. At the end of the 12 minute startup cycle, if the stove has warmed up, the
fuel feed rate is increased to the setting determined by the Fuel Feed Control Knob.
The stove will continue to run at this fuel feed rate and convection blower speed until the wall thermostat
turns to the OFF position. Once the wall thermostat turns to the OFF position, the fuel feed rate will be
turned to OFF. In order to maximize the heat transfer efficiency of the stove and to minimize the probability
of degradation of motor bearing lifetime, however, even with the thermostat in the OFF position, the
convection blower will remain at the speed determined by the position of the Fuel Feed Control Knob as long
as the control board senses that the stove is hot.
Thermostat Operational Characteristics in the Semiautomatic Mode:
Automatic versus Semiautomatic
In Semiautomatic Mode, the stove will
function similarly to in the Automatic mode
except that when the wall thermostat turns
to OFF, instead of the fuel feed being turned
to OFF, the fuel feed rate will be turned
down to a predetermined LOW feed rate.
The fire will continue to burn.
The next time the wall thermostat turns to
the ON position, the fuel feed rate will
increase to the rate determined by the
position of the Fuel Feed Control Knob.
NOTE
When set in the Semiautomatic Mode, the
12 minute startup cycle can only be
restarted by turning the main power switch
to OFF then to ON. If the electrical power is
interrupted for any reason, the startup cycle
will be initiated when the power is restored
and the wall thermostat is turned to the ON
position.
Note: See Section X of this manual for instructions on how
to select the Semiautomatic Mode. Read the previous
chapter: SCS300T Operating Characteristics in the
Automatic Mode.
With the electrical power cord connected to a live outlet and
with the Main Power switch in the ON position, when the wall
thermostat is connected properly to the stove and then
turned to the ON position for the first time, the wall
thermostat signals the control board to initiate the
preprogrammed startup cycle.
At the onset of the startup cycle, the fuel feed auger is
turned ON at a predetermined ignition feed rate and the
automatic pellet ignition device is turned ON. The ignition
device will remain ON for the first 5 minutes of the 12 minute
startup cycle. The pellets that are in the firepot will ignite
within these first 5 minutes. For the remainder of the 12
minutes of the startup cycle, the fuel feed auger will
continue to feed pellets into the firepot at the predetermined
warm up rate. If the control board senses that the stove has
warmed up sufficiently at any time during this 12 minute
startup cycle, the convection blower will automatically turn
ON at the speed determined by the position of the Fuel
Feed Control Knob and blow heated air into the home. The
fuel feed rate, however, will remain at its predetermined
warm up rate until the end of the 12 minute cycle. At the end of the 12 minute startup cycle, if the stove has
warmed up, the fuel feed rate is increased to the setting determined by the Fuel Feed Control Knob.
The stove will continue to run at this fuel feed rate and convection blower speed until the wall thermostat
turns to the OFF position. Once the wall thermostat turns to the OFF position, the fuel feed rate will be
turned to a predetermined LOW setting. The fuel feed will not turn OFF. In order to maximize the heat
transfer efficiency of the stove and to minimize the probability of degradation of motor bearings, however,
even with the thermostat in the OFF position, the convection blower will remain at the speed determined by
