DC OPERATION - BUILDING A FIRE AND
IMPORTANT (Gold Units Only): Gold is a soft metal and
therefore a fragile surface . Prior to the first burn it is important
to use W index™ or com para ble product with a soft clean cloth
to wipe any marks off all gold surfaces.
If not cleaned prior to first burn, the heat may cause the marks
to rem ain in the surface perm anently.
Always clean the gold surface when the heater is COOL.
1. Filling the Hopper and Start-Up:
CAUTION: Fuel hopper lid must be closed be fore
operating unit. Maintain hopper seal in good condition.
DO NOT OVERFILL HOPPER! The EASYFIRE will hold
about 35 lbs. to 50 lbs. of pellets depending on hopper
height.
Open the top lid and fill the hopper with pellets (Figure 9).
The quality of pellet fuel varies from bra nd to brand . 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 accu m ulate quickly. Quality pellets will burn clean and ash build up will be minim al.
Mak e sure hopper lid is fully closed. Ope n the front door. Fill the Fire Pot with pellet fuel.
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 10). Light the pellets in Fire Pot using any approved lighter fluid.
Figure 12
Allow pellets to burn for approxim ately 1 m inute, or un til pellet ignition has been achieved . Close door and turn the control knob to the "FAN" position. Allow fire to burn for several minutes. W hen the pellets are well lit, turn the control knob to "LOW" for approximately 10 minutes then turn up to "HI". W e recomm end that you run the heater on “Medium” or "HI" for about 30 minutes in order to get the heat exchanger hot before turning it to "LO W ". You will need to burn the heater for a few hours before deciding which setting is best for your particular needs.
