AUTOMATIC IGNITION/OPERATION
Stove Temperature Mode
In the Stove Temperature Mode and with the igniter toggle switch in the Auto position, the stove will light automatically and can be adjusted to the desired setting using the same temperature control dial as is used in the Room Temperature Mode. The heat output and fuel consumption will remain constant regardless of room temperature. The settings from 1 to 7 on the inner ring of the temperature dial provide for relative heat output settings with 1 being low and 7 being the maximum.
In Stove Temperature Mode, the stove will not automatically shut off unless the stove runs out of fuel or is turned off.
Never pull the plug to shut down the stove. This will stop the combustion blower and smoke will escape through window and door gaskets.
When the igniter toggle switch is set to manual in this mode, the distribution blower will not turn on with a temperature dial setting from 1 to 5. The advantage of this mode is to allow the operator to have a large viewing fire without blowing extra heat into the room.
During manual operation, with the temperature dial set at #4 or less, the distribution fan will not operate. A #4 on the temperature dial and a #5 on the feed adjuster is approximately 80% output. It is not necessary to oper- ate the distribution blower below this point. Therefore, the control allows a higher burn rate ( a larger viewing fire) without an excess of hot air blowing into the room. An example of when to use the Manual Stove Tempera- ture Mode is if you want to watch a large fire and the room is already up to temperature. The Stove Tempera- ture Mode allows you to have a larger fire and a lower sound level, without the distribution blower.
NOTE: During the use of this mode, if you keep increasing the temperature dial setting to increase the fire size, the distribution blower will automati- cally come on when the ESP Temperature reaches 350o F, or 81% output.
Feed Adjuster Knob
For most premium grade pellet fuels the Feed Adjuster Knob should be set at 4. If higher ash fuels are used the setting should be increased to 5 or 6. Also higher settings are required if you would like to get the maximum heat output from the stove. At the maximum burn rate (with the temperature dial on 7/90° and the feed adjuster at 6) there should be 1" or more of ash on the front of the burn pot. If there is less than 1" of ash, turn the feed adjuster knob down to a lower setting.
Shut Down Procedure
The best way to shut down the stove is to simply let it run out of pellets. The stove will shut down automatically. Alternatively, you can turn the Mode Selector to “off”. This will cause the fire to gradually die down and go out. The fire will not go out immediately and may take more than an hour to fully shut down.
If the stove is left to run out of fuel, you may get a 6 blink status light. If this happens simply reset the control board by turning the mode selector to OFF and back ON.
CAUTION
HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. KEEP CHILDREN, CLOTHING, AND FURNITURE AWAY. CON- TACT MAY CAUSE SKIN BURNS.
Stove Temperature Mode
The setting above will produce continuous medium heat output with the distribution blower at low speed.
The setting above will produce continuous maximum heat output with the distribution blower at full speed.
