Quadra-Fire 7051-158B Edge 60 Pellet Fireplace Filling the Hopper with Fuel, Ignition Cycles

G. Filling the Hopper with Fuel

•Check the hopper and make sure it is empty before fi lling with fuel.

•Open the front to expose the hopper door. Pull down on the hopper door to open and fi ll with fuel. The hopper door can now serve as a shelf to support the bag of fuel

3. Automatic or Manual Setting

The automatic setting will control the heat output based on the comfort level selection. The manual setting allows you to manually control the heat output settings.

•Do not over fi ll the hopper. The hopper door must be com- pletely closed to maintain proper vacuum and for the feed motor to operate. An error ICON will appear on the wall control if the hopper door is not properly closed.

•Do not leave any part of the fuel bag on the appliance after fi lling hopper.

NOTICE: RAISED PLATFORM INSTALLATIONS

Consideration must be given for fi lling the hopper with fuel when determining the height of the raised platform. It must not be so high that it interferes with the safety of fi lling the hopper with fuel.

H. Starting Your First Fire

1. Fuel Selection

To start your fi rst fi re, you must:

•Select the appropriate fuel on the FUEL SELECTION screen on the thermostat wall control to match the fuel you have chosen to burn.

•If the proper fuel is not selected your appliance will not operate properly.

I. Ignition Cycles

The fi replace engine is controlled by the digital thermostat wall control. The digital display on the wall control will tell you what your appliance is doing in the upper left corner (System Status). Figure 10.3.

Figure 10.3

Every time the thermostat calls for heat, the appliance steps through fi ve cycles:

•For example, if you have selected wood pellets and you are burning corn, the appliance may not light, it may go out or overfeed. Figure 10.1.

NOTE: If you are lighting your appliance for the fi rst time:

•The feed tube will be empty and it can take some time to fi ll it with fuel before you will see a fi re

•Put a handful of fuel in the fi repot (priming) to speed up the process. You can also do this when you have run com- pletely out of fuel.

2. Comfort Level Selection

Once your fuel is selected, select the temperature at the desired setting on the SET COMFORT LEVEL screen. Figure 10.2.

The duration and characteristics of these cycles may be dif- ferent with each type of fuel selected.

WARNING! RISK OF FIRE!

Do NOT operate appliance:

•With appliance door open

•With fi repot fl oor open

•With ash pan removed

•Without the two slide rail attachment bolts secured to fi replace

1.Start-Up Cycle

During this cycle:

•Igniter turns on for 90 seconds to heat up the air in the fi repot

•Combustion blower starts

•Vacuum switch comes on

•Feed motor turns on adding fuel to the fi repot and the appliance waits for the fi re to start

The duration of start-up depends on the type and quality of fuel used. It is normal to see some smoke during the ignition process as moisture evaporates and the fuel lights. The smoke will stop once the fi re starts.
