C. In the MEDIUM position the EASYFIRE will be feeding approximately three (3) pounds of pellets per hour and the flame will fluctuate between 3" and 8" of fire.
D. In the HIGH position the EASYFIRE will be feeding approxim ately 4+ lbs . per ho ur and the flam e will fluctuate between 3" and a full flame. The fan speed will increase accordingly as the heater au tom atically adjusts itself based on temperature inside the heater (see G below).
E.The CLEAN position is to be used only when the heater is not burning and you wish to clean out the accumulated ash in the front of the fire area. See CLEAN OUT section of maintenance instructions.
F. After the heater is running for several hours and you wish to turn it off simply press the button to OFF. The heater will continue running until it cools down and then will automatically shut itself down.
G. REMEMBER: Each feed position will fluctuate because the m icroprocessor is autom atically adjusting the fee d and air based on tem perature. T his m eans the pellet feed ra te and flam e height will change accordingly based on quality of pellet and heat loss of dwelling.
3.Starting the Stove: Push a Heat Range button (Low or Me dium is best for start up) and turn the therm ostat up to “Call for heat”. The stove fan will begin to operate along with the ignitor cycle. After ab out a m inute the pellets will begin to fall in the burn pot. After five m inutes there will be a fire in the burn pot and the stove will begin to heat up. W hen the stove reaches start up operating temperature it will then switch to the control panel setting and begin it’s autom atic operation cycle.
Prior to sto ve operatin g on therm ostat, confirm proper operation by servicing and adju sting the sto ve as ou tlined in the “Installation Guide”. When servicing stove, operate with thermostat bypassed as stove will reset to start up mode each time thermostat is activated.
Feed Trim Adjustment
Underneath the control button you will find a small round button that will turn forward and reverse. This button can adjust the feed motor in the LOW operating position. By turning the button clockwise you can increase the feed on LOW and by turning it counterclockwise you can decrease the feed in the LOW position. Factory setting is 1:00 o’clock.
Once the stove is at operating temperature for one hour set the stove on LO W. Adjust the trim button so that averag e flam e is approx . 1-2" abo ve the burn pot. This will set the average feed rate (air/flue) for best operation.
Move this button carefully! It is designed to fine tune your LOW setting in the event you change brands of pellets and/or live at a higher elevation. If this setting is to low the stove may go out during LO W setting operations . If this should happen increase the trim by sm all am ount.
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE
CAUTION: Moving parts may cause injury, DO NOT operate with rear cover removed.
WARNING: Risk of electrical shock, disconnect all AC/DC power before servicing.
ALWAYS TURN YOUR Heater OFF & LET IT COOL BEFORE CLEANING.
Your EASYFIRE Pellet Heater requires routine
m aintenance for m aximum perform ance and is ma ndatory for the warranty to re m ain in effect.
The following procedures should be studied carefully and performed regularly as indicated:
1.Fly-ash:Some ash will accumulate in the heat exchanger, Fire Pot and flue and should be cleaned out on a regular basis for bes t efficiency and safety. W hen the heater is shut down and cold, you should:
a.Open door and remove Heat Exchanger Cover. To rem ove, sim ply slide up and out from retaining angle brac ket (Figure 12). Clean one side at a tim e. W ith one slide cover rem oved, leave door open and turn control button to the "CLEAN" position. Let heater run until ash in Fire Pot area is vacuumed out by heater fan. Turn off and replace cover. Rem ove remaining cover and repeat procedure for the other side. T he vent pipe should be cleaned out after this procedure. Rem ove the clean-out port cover (Figure 13) and vacuum as required.
b. Rem ove Fire Pot by lifting up and out, it may be brushed out or vacuumed. Fire Pot should be cleaned week ly and depending on pellet quality daily. Make sure holes in pot are not clogged. The area around an d below the pot shou ld be check ed every five or six days depending on how many hours a day you are burning your heater and the quality of the pellets being burned. (After a few days you will be able to determine the frequency needed for clean out.)
The important thing to rem em ber is that excessive Fly- ash accumulation will affect the efficiency of the burn.
c.Scrape pellet feed chute with putty knife to rem ove hardened material on which sawdust can accumulate.
d. The clean-out port cover should be removed and the vent pipe checked every four to six weeks or whenever you utilize the clean-out mode on the control dial.
e.Fly-ash can also accumulate in the vent pipe and term ination cap . Inspect exhaust system frequently to maintain free flow of exhaust fumes and fly-ash. The frequency of clean -out depends entirely on the quality of the pellets, so you will have to initially monitor the buildup in the pellet vent pipe.
2.Hop per Clean Out: Vacuum the accumulated saw dust in the hopper weekly. Keep free of debris and foreign material. AN ACCUMULATION OF SAW DUST CAN CA US E IRREGU LAR PELLET F EED. For best results this should be done on a regular basis depending upon how often the heater is used. If you burn the heater all the time you should do this every eight to ten days.
3.Cleaning the Exhaust Fan Blade & Heat Exchanger: The exhaust blower should be checke d fo r ex cessive Fly- ash buildup. Regular and routine maintenance utilizing the CLEAN OUT feature will keep the exhaust blower housing and fan blades clean. This cleaning can only be done when the heater is NO T burning.
