4.4 How it Works

The PelPro PP150 operates through a series of automated steps to provide heat:

1. Pellets are loaded into the hopper.
2. The electric auger feeds the pellets into the burn grate.
3. The burn grate burns fuel.
4. The auto-igniter starts the fuel on fire.
5. The fire heats the exchange tubes.
6. The convection fan blows warm air into your room.
