Battery Light: When the green light is blinking the
battery is charging. When the green light is steady
the battery is fully charged. If this light is red, then
the battery terminals are plugged in backward.
Trim Button: On the left side of the control panel
there is a small, round button that will turn
clockwise and counter-clockwise. This button
allows you to control the feed rate in each setting—
Low, Med, and High. By turning the button
clockwise you can increase the feed rate in each
setting. By turning the button counter-clockwise
you can decrease the feed rate.
Move this button carefully! It is designed to fine-
tune the heater in each position in the event you
change brands of pellets and/or live at a higher
elevation.
BATTERY OPERATION
Always plug AC cord in before DC battery.
1. The battery must be one foot from the stove to
ensure that the terminal does not touch the
bottom ring.
2. The Parlour Pellet 12V back-up can be
purchased as an option and includes the
following components:
a. Deep cycle seated 12-volt gel cell battery
(available at most battery stores)
b. Battery connector cables for hook-up to the
heater (available from Thelin Co.)
3. To hook up the battery and engage the 12-volt
back-up system, do the following:
a. Connect the red battery cable to the (+)
positive terminal on the battery. Then plug
the red banana plug into the red receptacle
on the stove. The red must be plugged in
first before the black.
b. Connect the black battery cable to the (-)
negative terminal on the battery. Then plug
the black banana plug into the black
receptacle on the stove. If you hook up the
cables correctly the LED light on the control
panel come on and glow green. If hooked up
improperly, this LED will glow.
WARNING: Make sure the red cable goes to the
red terminal (positive connector) and the black
cable goes to the black terminal (negative
connector).
4. If you decide to purchase your own 12-volt
back-up system, we recommend a sealed gel cell
battery. Failure to install the proper battery
could cause physical harm to you and/or your
property and will also void the heater
warranty.
5. When the battery is properly connected and the
heater plugged in, the following will happen
automatically:
a. The heater will automatically switch to 12-
volt power if there is a power failure and
switch back when power is restored.
b. The battery will be trickle charged as long
as the heater is plugged into 110 AC wall
outlet. Do not use extension cords. The
trickle charge will not recharge a low or
dead battery, but will keep a charged
battery at maximum performance. Do not
unplug stove for the summer and keep
battery attached. Battery will drain
down and fail to recharge.
6. If you choose to separate the battery from the
heater by lengthening the cables, you must make
sure the cable used will carry the current to the
heater. For example, if the distance is 10 to 20
feet, then 12-gauge wire must be used. Check
with your local electrical professional to make
sure you have used the proper gauge wire/cable.
7. The automatic ignition feature will not work on
DC power only. The stove can be lit manually
with an approved starter material. Call Thelin
Co. if you need help with manual lighting.
