Manual Ignition/Operation
The Advance Pellet Stove is capable of manual operation. This also allows the operator to manually control operation during an emergency (i.e. igniter failure, when using a 502H battery backup, or when using certain generators.)
The unit can be switched between "AUTO" and "MANUAL" at any time during operation.
Room Temperature Mode: This setting will produce a room temperature of 70 degrees with the distribution blower atmedium speed.
Manual Stove Temperature Mode
This setting will produce a large viewing fire without a distribution blower operating.
NOTE: When starting the unit in the "AUTO" mode and switching to "MANUAL", the fire must be large enough to start the distribution blower. The starting of the blower is a signal that the start cycle is completed and the fire will not go out.
Igniter Switch to "MANUAL"
Room Temperature Mode
The fire will have to be lit with starting gel and a match, or started automatically, see "Automatic Opera- tion". Turn to "Manual" position when the fire is estab- lished.
The difference between "AUTO" Room Tempera- ture Mode and "Manual" Room Temperature Mode is that the fire will not go out as the room temperature goes above the control board setting. The unit can only go to low burn and will remain there until it runs out of fuel or until more heat is needed and the feed rate increases. Feed rate adjustments and dial settings are the same as "AUTO" settings.
Igniter Switch to "MANUAL"
Stove Temperature Mode
The advantage of this mode is to allow the opera- tor to have a large viewing fire without blowing extra heat into the room.
During operation, with the temperature dial set at #5 or less, the distribution fan will not operate. A #5 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, there can be a higher feed rate ( a larger viewing fire) without an excess of hot air blowing into the room.
An example of when to use the Manual Stove Tem- perature Mode is if you want to watch a large fire and the room is aleady up to temperature. The Stove Tem- perature 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.
