CARE AND OPERATION
Fuel Delivery Rate
The Heat output button manages the fuel delivery rate by controlling the amount of time the auger motor will run (Set- tings:
1 = Low, 2 Medium Low, 3 Medium, 4 Medium High, 5 High).
PRE-LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
During an initial
To prime the auger feed tube:
1.Fill the hopper with recommended pellet fuel and plug the stove into the wall outlet.
2.Press the START button on the control board to turn on both blowers (the room air blower and exhaust blower will run at start up settings or position #3). Press the AUGER ON/OFF button on the control board to start the fuel feed. Next, press the Heat out- put button to position #5 (maximum feed rate).
3.Look through the combustion chamber door and when you see the first pellets dropping into the Ul- traGrateTM, the auger is then fully primed. It will take 10 to 15 minutes to prime the auger.
4.Once the auger is primed, press the AUGER ON/OFF button to turn off auger.
STARTING YOUR PELLET STOVE
1.Make sure the auger is primed (see
2.Press the AUGER ON/OFF button to the “ON” posi- tion.
3.While the pellets will ignite on any heat output set- ting, it is recommended that the Heat Output be set to position #3. Pellets will start feeding into the Ul- traGrateTM and should begin to ignite in approxi- mately seven minutes. The
4.After the pellets are burning well, press the HEAT OUTPUT selector to the desired setting. Combus- tion air and the pellet fuel feed rate will adjust auto- matically as the HEAT OUTPUT selector button is pressed. The flame should be bright yellow in color and there should be no evidence of soot formation at the top of the flame. Press the BLOWER SPEED control to increase or decrease the desired amount of room air from your stove.
5.If operating your stove with the wall thermostat, adjust the HEAT OUTPUT selector button to the desired demand mode (#2 through #5 on the HEAT OUTPUT selector button). Next, adjust the wall mounted thermostat to the desired heat and your stove will automatically switch between a demand mode and a pilot mode.
GENERAL OPERATING CONSIDERATIONS
Proper Burn Characteristics: Your flame should be bright yellow under normal operation. If your flame be- comes reddish/orange, your stove probably needs rou- tine maintenance. Excessive amounts of fly ash
Pellet Feed: The pellet feed system is designed to han- dle a wide range of pellet sizes. Different pellets can feed at considerably different rates. If the stove will not stay lit at the minimum fuel feed setting, those particular pellets may not be feeding fast enough. If this happens, adjust the damper rod (on the side of the stove) in or out to achieve a proper burn.
Pellet Size: You may notice a difference in the burn if you change pellet fuel sizes. The bigger the pellet, the slower it will feed and vice versa.
Long Burn Time: The stove may be safely operated on a continuous basis, but it is recommended that it be turned down overnight or when the room is vacated for long periods of time.
TURNING OFF YOUR PELLET STOVE
Press the AUGER ON/OFF button to the “OFF” position. This will turn the auger motor off and pellets will stop feed- ing. Both blowers will continue to operate for a period of time (up to 45 minutes) until the exhaust temperature cools sufficiently. The blowers will automatically turn off at that point.
Lighting Procedure Without Igniter:
If your automatic ignition system should ever need trouble- shooting, repair or replacement, please contact your au- thorized Lennox Hearth Products dealer. Your stove can be lit manually without using the automatic igniter in such cases by following the procedure below.
