The igniter switch on the control panel has to be in the "auto" position.

Exactly. In Manual it will stay lit. I just turn mine to AUTO and turn temp to 50f. Then turn it off after it's done the cooldown. Once a day so I can clean it. Wipe glass down and scrap burnpot. Couple Min work.

Hey again! Did just that, stove turn off ok, but not instantly, it took about 10-15 mins to shut down completly and then cool down. Normal or not???
I didnot bother with this issue before because i turned it off and leave then back to clean it after 2 hours, didnt notice if it was still running a while before it shut down. i will check it out next time to be sure it is ok.

Yes it takes time to shutdown fully. Got to run fans and then it quits after a time.

Sounds normal to me. That's about what mine takes. By the time the fans shut off, the stove is only slightly warm to the touch, and the ashes are safe to vacuum (I always check, however).
