CARE AND OPERATION
Manual Operation:
Pressing the stove ON / OFF switch initiates the start-up cycle. The green ON / OFF light, near the top of the con- trol board, will light up to indicate the “on” status. The fan speeds and pellet feeds are fixed during this time to pro- vide appropriate ignition. The Fast-Fire igniter system will light the pellets feeding to the UltraGrate, after about 3 minutes. The start-up cycle is in effect for approximately 2 minutes after flame is detected in the UltraGrate. A photoeye monitors the existence of flame. After the start- up cycle your stove will be in the run mode. At this point the stove will operate in the heat output and blower set- tings selected. These settings can be selected either dur- ing or after the start-up cycle. Pressing the stove ON / OFF switch during the run mode will initiate the shut down cycle. The ON / OFF indicator light will turn off. The pel- lets will stop feeding and the blowers will run at a fixed speed for approximately 10 minutes. At this point your stove is safely shut down and can ONLY be re-started by pressing the stove ON / OFF switch again.
Automatic Operation:
Your stove is capable of running in an automatic mode with the use of a wall thermostat. NOTE: For the thermo- stat to control the operation of the stove, the “on” status must be active on the stove’s on / off switch. The thermo- stat will establish either a demand mode or a stand-by mode. The thermostat should be set for the desired room temperature. If the room temperature drops below the level on the thermostat the stove will automatically begin the start-up cycle, as explained above in the Manual Op- eration section. Once the start-up cycle is completed the stove will operate in whatever heat and blower setting you have selected. For best operation under thermostat con- trol, the Medium or High settings recommended. When the desired room temperature is reached, the stove will automatically go into the shut down cycle. The pellet feed will stop and the blowers will continue for a controlled time allowing safe shut down of your stove. All lights will re- main on when the thermostat is open. The heat and blower settings can be changed at any time, but only take affect during the run mode. When the temperature in the room drops to the level set at the thermostat, the stove will again begin the start-up cycle and resume automatic op- eration in the demand mode.
NOTE: If the stove on / off switch is pressed while the thermostat is in the standby mode the stove will not restart until the thermostat closes.
Lighting Procedure Without Igniter
Your pellet stove can be lit manually without using the automatic igniter by following the procedure below. If your stove is set up to run on a thermostat, the thermo- stat circuit needs to be closed (as if permanently in the demand mode). The thermostat wires should be re- moved from the rear of the stove and replaced with the jumper originally supplied with your stove. If a jumper is not available the thermostat should be set to the highest setting. This will keep the stove in the demand mode. If your automatic ignition system should ever need trou- bleshooting, repair or replacement, please contact your authorized Lennox Hearth Products dealer.
1.Press the ON switch on the control board.
2.Wait approximately 2 1/2 minutes while the pellets prime the grate (the pellets will stop feeding auto- matically).
3.Place a small amount of an approved (non-volatile) fire starter on top of the pellets in the grate, (see your authorized Lennox Hearth Products dealer for appropriate fire starting products). DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS TO START YOUR STOVE!
4.Light the “fire starter” with a match and close the door.
5.The photoeye will detect that a flame is present and will begin feeding pellets in approximately 2 min- utes.
6.The control board will continue to go through the normal start-up cycle and the flame should be well established within 10 minutes from the time the ON button was initially pressed. Remember – you are now in manual mode and heat settings should be selected to the desired room heat level.
Turning Off Your Stove
Press the stove on / off switch to initiate the shut down cycle. The pellets will stop feeding and the blowers will continue to run on a timed cycle. The stove will shut down safely upon completion of the shut down cycle.
