J. Feed Rate Adjustment Instructions
The feed adjustment control rod is factory set, and should
be adequate for most fuels. However, if the ame height
is too high or too low, you will need to adjust the feed rate.
Wait until the appliance has been burning for 15 minutes
before making your adjustments and allow 15 minutes for
feed adjustment to take eect.
1. Loosen the wing screw.
2. Adjust the feed adjustment control rod upward to
increase the feed rate and ame height or down, to
decrease the feed rate and ame height.
3. Re-tighten the wing screw.
I. Fire Characteristics
A properly adjusted re with the heat output control switch
set on “high” has a short active ame pattern that extends
out of the re pot approximately 4 inches (102mm). If the
re has tall ames with black tails and seems somewhat
lazy, the feed rate will need to be reduced. This is done
by sliding the fuel adjustment control rod down, which will
reduce the feed. If the re is not 4 inches (102mm) tall,
slide the fuel adjustment control rod up to increase the
feed. A medium and low setting will give a shorter ame.
The ame will rise and fall somewhat. This is normal.
NOTE: We recommend the use of a 50-50 blend of corn
and wood pellets. The only change in operation
is that the feed rate may require a slight
adjustment. If the appliance is running all of the
time, 100% corn will work after the re has been
started using wood pellets.
WARNING
Fire Risk.
• High ask fuels, or lack of maintenance, can
cause the re pot to ll with ash and clinker.
If the re pot lls to the top, immediately shut
down the appliance and clean.
• Failure to do so could result in smoking,
sooting and possible hoper res.
