HOW YOUR APPLIANCE WORKS

The operations and maintenance of your Glow Boy Series of multi-fuel appliance are unique and should not be considered to be like a wood, coal, gas, electric, propane or oil heater, stove or appliance.

Cautions:

Do not try to operate your stove with viewing door open. Pellets will not feed under these circumstances and a safety concern may arise from sparks or fumes entering room.

If you are not drawing combustion air from outside, care must be taken to allow for adequate air make up, to avoid possible room air starvation when stove or other exhaust fans are in operation.

It is highly recommended that you install a high quality smoke detector as well as a carbon monoxide gas detector in the room where stove is installed. Care should be taken to make sure detectors are in working order at all times.

FUEL CONSIDERATIONS

Your Glow Boy Series of Multi-fuel appliance is designed to burn the following:

1.Wood pellets that comply with the Pellet Fuel Industries standards.

2.A combination of up to 50/50 Wood Pellet and Shelled Corn

3.100% Shelled Corn or Grain, using the Multi—Fuel Grate, and manual start only, No Igniter.

 

 

 

 

Fuel in the form of wood pellets , shelled corn or grain is stored in the hopper. An

 

 

 

 

 

 

auger delivers the pellets to the burn grate. The fuel rate, or heat output, is set by

 

 

 

 

 

Memory &

adjusting the feed rate touch pad, (settings 1 to 4). A fan provides combustion air to

 

 

 

the burn grate. The amount of combustion air in the burn grate is adjustable and

 

 

 

 

 

Fan Trim

 

 

 

 

 

 

automatically changes as the fuel rate changes. The higher the fuel rate, the larger

 

 

 

 

 

 

the amount of combustion air and visa versa. The fuel burns in the burn grate,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

producing heat. Some heat radiates out the front of your stove. The majority of the

 

 

 

 

 

 

heat passes around the heat exchange tubes and air plenum around the firebox and

 

 

 

 

is then moved into the room by the room air fan. A small amount of heat must pass

 

 

 

 

 

 

out the exhaust of your stove, along with gases, into the atmosphere.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your stove's heat output can be adjusted from setting 1-4, through the FEED RATE

 

 

 

 

 

 

touch pad, to vary your heat output from Low to High. The room air fan can be

 

 

 

 

 

 

manually adjusted through the FAN SPEED to run faster or slower to correspond to

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the amount of heat being produced. The room air fan is also on a limit switch,

 

 

 

as desired

 

controlled to run on high when the stove reaches higher temperatures and then

 

 

 

 

 

 

resume the speed you had selected once it cools to a lower temperature.
