Quadra-Fire MTVERNINSAE-MBK General Operating Information, Thermostat Wall Control Manual Setting

Mt. Vernon Pellet Insert (AE)

R

Size

•Pellets are either 1/4 inch or 5/16 inch (6-8mm) in diameter

•Length should be no more that 1-1/2 inches (38mm)

•Pellet lengths can vary from lot to lot from the same manufacturer

•Due to length variations, the flame height (feed rate) may need adjusting occasionally. See page 27 for instructions..

Performance

•Higher ash content requires the ash drawer to be emptied more frequently

•Hardwoods require more air to burn properly

•Set wall control to “Utility Pellet” if the fi repot and ash pan are fi lling quickly. This will cause the auto-clean system to empty the fi repot more often.

•Premium wood pellets produce the highest heat output.

•Burning pellets longer than 1-1/2 inches (38mm) can cause an inconsistent fuel feed rate and/or missed ignitions.

D. General Operating Information

Read and understand the Thermostat Wall Control manual for detailed operating instructions. The wall control is an intregal part of how to operate this appliance.

1. Thermostat Wall Control - Automatic Setting

The appliance is like most modern furnaces; when the thermostat wall control calls for heat, your appliance will automatically light and deliver heat.

When the room is up to temperature and the wall control is satisfi ed the appliance will shut down.

In the automatic setting the heat output level is controlled by the wall control. Select “Automatic” on the AUTO/MANUAL screen. Figure 26.1.

We recommend that you buy fuel in multi-ton lots whenever possible. However, we do recommend trying various brands before purchasing multi-ton lots to ensure your satisfaction.

CAUTION! Tested and approved for wood pellets, shelled

field corn, wheat and black oil sunfl ower seeds. Burning of any other type of fuel voids your warranty.

Changing to Different Fuel Type

•Empty the hopper of the previous fuel

•Thoroughly vacuum hopper before fi lling with the new fuel

•Select the appropriate setting on the FUEL SELECTION screen on the thermostat wall control

The burn rate, BTU content and heat output will all vary depending on the fuel selected.

Storage

•Wood pellets should be left in their original sealed bag until using to prevent moisture absorption.

•Shelled corn, wheat or sunfl ower seeds should be stored in a tight container to prevent it from absorbing moisture from damp or wet fl oors.

•This will also prevent rodents from becoming a problem.

•Do not store any pellet fuel within the clearance requirements or in an area that would hinder routine cleaning and maintenance.

CAUTION

Tested and approved for wood pellets, shelled fi eld corn, wheat and black oil sunfl ower seeds. Burning of any other type of fuel voids your warranty.

3. Auto-Clean Firepot System

Your appliance is equipped with an automatic fi repot cleaning system that will change the frequency of cleaning based on the fuel being burned.

The auto-clean system will clean itself immediately on initial plug in. If there is a power outage, as soon as power is restored it will recycle and clean itself if there is no fi re in the fi repot.

NOTE: User is responsible for removing the ash from the ash drawer.
