2.Control Functions: Control functions on the Eas yfire
are as follows: OFF, FAN, LOW , MEDIUM, HIGH, CLEAN. Here is how each function works:
A.W hen the Control is set to FAN , a timer is activated and you will have about ten (10) minutes to get the pellets lit and rea ch a minimum tem pera ture.
Should the pellets not light in the 10 minutes simply turn the knob to OFF and begin again. This will give you another 10 minutes to get the pellets lit. The reason for the tim er fun ction is so that the heater will autom atically shut down if the fire goes out. Pellets do not feed in the FAN position.
B. In the LOW position, the EASYFIRE will be feeding approximately 1 to 1½ lbs. of pellets per hour and the flam e will fluctuate between 1" and 6" in height.
C. In the MEDIUM position the EASYFIRE will be feeding approximately three (3) pounds of pellets per hour and the flame will fluctuate between 3" and 8" of fire.
D. In the HIGH position the EASYFIRE will be feeding approxim ately 4 lbs. per hour and the flam e will fluctuate between 3" and a full flame. The fan speed will increase accordingly as the heater au tom atically adjusts itself based on temperature inside the heater (see G below).
E.The CLEAN position is to be used only when the heater is not burning and you wish to clean out the accumulated ash in the front of the fire area. See CLEAN OUT section of maintenance instructions.
F. After the heater is running for several hours and you wish to turn it off simply turn the knob to OFF. The
heater will continue running until it cools down and then will automatically shut itself down.
G. REMEMBER: Each feed position will fluctuate because the m icroprocessor is autom atically adjusting the fee d and air based on tem perature. T his m eans the pellet feed ra te and flam e height will change accordingly based on quality of pellet and heat loss of dwelling.
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE
CAUTION: Moving parts may cause injury, DO NOT operate with rear cover removed.
WARNING: Risk of electrical shock, disconnect all power before servicing.
ALWAYS TURN YOUR Heater OFF & LET IT COOL BEFORE CLEANING.

until ash in Fire Pot area is vacuumed out by heater fan. Turn off and replace cover. Rem ove remaining cover and repeat procedure for the other side. The vent pipe should be cleaned out after this procedure. Rem ove the
b. Rem ove Fire Pot by lifting up and out, it may be brushed out or vacuumed. Fire Pot should be cleaned daily. Make sure holes in pot are not clogged . The are a around and below the pot should be checked every five or six days depending on how many hours a day you are burning your heater and the quality of the pellets being burned. (After a few days you will be able to determine the frequency needed for clean out.)
The important thing to rem em ber is that excessive Fly- ash accumulation will affect the efficiency of the burn.
c.Scrape pellet feed chute with putty knife to rem ove hardened material on which sawdust can accumulate.
