Sierra Products EF-4001B General Warnings, Fuel Selection, Autolite START-UP and Operation

GENERAL WARNINGS

The EASYFIRE Pellet Stove and Insert has been designed and approved for burning wood pellet fuel only. Burning solid fuel in other form s is not perm itted and will void all warranties.

NEVER use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuels, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or "freshen up" a fire. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use.

Ashes must be disposed of in a metal container with a tight fitting lid and placed on a noncombustible floor or ground, well away from all fuels, pending final disposal.

This heater, when installed, m ust be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-

2006.

Provide adequate clearances around air openings into the combustion chamber and adequate accessibility clearance for servicing and proper operation. Never obstruct the front opening of the heater.

The pellet heater must be operated with a power source and will not operate using natural draft. If there is a power failure the heater will shut down. If the 12 volt back-up system is installed, the heater will autom atically switc h to 12 volt power. An optional back up battery is available for the unit which lasts approxim ately 48 hrs on high and 72 hrs on low. A bigger battery may be purchased if desired for longer durations.

The EasyFire Pellet Heater has been listed by OMN I-Test Laboratories, Inc. to ASTM, U.L.,and EPA Standards.

FUEL SELECTION

Proper fue l selection is im portant for overall operation. Your stove operates best with 1/4" diameter wood pellets that are no longer than 3/4" long. The pellets should be specifically manufactured for use pellet heaters. Use of fuel non- conforming fue l will cause the stove to operate erratically. Additionally, a low ash content of be low 1% is required and will reduce your cleaning and maintenance time. Store pellets in a clean dry area. Do not use pellets that have been damp or have a moisture level above 5%.

The quality of pellet fuel varies fro m brand to bra nd . This will affect the efficiency of your heater. W e suggest that you try several brands until you find one that gives you a clean effi- cient burn. Poor quality pellets will burn rich with black soot and ash will accum ulate quickly. Quality pellets will burn clean and ash build up will be minim al.

attempt to operate heater if glass becomes dam aged in any way!

2.AutoLite Control Functions: Control functions on the Easyfire are as follows: OFF, FAN, LOW , MEDIUM, HIGH, CLEAN. Here is how each function works:

A.W hen the Control Button is turned to FAN , a tim er is activated and you will have about ten (10) minutes to get the pellets lit and reach a minimum tem perature. This function is used for match lighting when the AC pow er is out.

Should the pellets not light in 10 minutes simply turn the button 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.

AUTOLITE START-UP AND OPERATION

Refer to Installation and Operation m anual provided with the unit for standard match lighting and 12V operations.

1. AutoLite Start-Up:

Prior to operating your AutoLite stove, make sure the hopper is full of wood pellets and the interior com ponents have been ins talled prope rly including; burn screen & pot, heat exchange covers, and ash drawer.

IMPORTANT: The Fire Pot must be seated flush and must sit even in the pot tray. Air leaking around the Fire Pot will create a poor burn (Figure 11). Light the pellets in Fire Pot using any approved pellet lighter.

Note: Caution must be taken when installing burn pot or	Figure 11
