Hello folks, new around here, and my first season as a basement dweller. Just wanted to share a tip I found for the 5500 owners out there that seems to have been skipped in the manual.
On the control board if you hold the AUX up and Heat Range up buttons simultaneously you can adjust the maximum feed rate for heat range 5.
Same goes for the minimum Hold the AUX down and Heat Range Down buttons simultaneously and you can adjust the minimum feed rate for heat range 1.
What I did was adjusted the minimum down to 1.5 set the heat range to 1 and found where the minimum feed rate was to keep it on. Mine was 1.5, your results may vary. Then I set the maximum feed rate about 2.5. What this does is allows you to turn the stove down and save pellets while still producing a little bit of heat, and by setting the maximum down lower is you can utilize heat range 2-5 without having a huge jump in pellet consumption.
This may be a well known thing but I just wanted to share in case others weren't aware.
