2.6.UNIT CONTROLS (See Figure 16)

The blowers and automatic fuel supply are controlled from a panel on the right-hand side of the ECO-65. The control panel functions are as follows.

a. MODE SWITCH

When the mode switch is pressed, you will be able to choose the Manual or the Thermostat mode, or to turn off the appliance. If the Manual mode is selected, the stove will automatically ignite. At this time, the heat level must be selected manually to adjust the stove‟s heat output to the desired level. If the thermostat mode is selected, the stove will automatically modulate between the lowest heat level and the heat level selected to keep the room temperature at the thermostat‟s setting. If the set room temperature is achieved while the stove has been running at the lowest heat level for more than 45 minutes, the unit will automatically shut off and will start another ignition cycle only when the thermostat calls for heat again. No fire starter is necessary to ignite the unit. The auger will feed fuel and the electronic igniter will start. If the unit doesn‟t ignite within 12 minutes, the stove will start another ignition cycle. If ignition fails a second time, a warning message will appear on the control panel.

The Heat Level may be selected during the ignition cycle. However, the unit will only feed fuel at the desired heat level setting when the heat sensor located into the stove will receive a signal indicating that the unit has been fully ignited. This may take anywhere between 10 and 15 minutes.

b.FUEL FEED SWITCH

When the “Fuel Feed” button is pushed the stove will feed pellets continuously into the burn pot during 1 minute.

CAUTION: THIS FUNCTION CAN ONLY BE OPERATED WHEN THE STOVE IS IN “OFF” POSITION. THE FUEL FEED SWITCH IS USED TO PRIME THE AUGER WHEN AUGER IS EMPTY.
