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 ho ur 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 tem perature inside the heater.
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 press the button 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 microprocessor is automatically adjusting the feed and air based on temperature. This means the pellet feed rate and flame height will change accordingly based on quality of pellet and heat loss of dwelling.
3.Starting the Stove: Push a Heat Range button (Low or Medium is best for start up) (Figure 13) and turn the thermostat up to “Call for heat”. The stove fan will begin to operate along with the ignitor cycle. After about a m inute the pellets will begin to fall in the burn pot. After five
m inutes there will be a fire in the burn pot and the stove will begin to heat up. W hen the stove reaches start up operating temperature it will then switch to the control panel setting and begin it’s automatic operation cycle.
Figure 13
Prior to stove operating on thermostat, confirm proper operation by servicing and adjusting the stove as outlined in the “Installation Guide”. When servicing stove, operate with thermostat bypassed as stove will reset to start up mode each time therm ostat is activated.
Feed Trim Adjustment
Underneath the control button you will find a small round button that will turn forward and reverse. This button can adjust the feed motor in the LOW operating position. By turning the button clockwise you can increase the feed on LOW and by turning it counterclockwise you can decrease the feed in the LOW position. Factory setting is 9:00 o’clock.
Once the stove is at operating temperature for one hour set the stove on LO W. Adjust the trim button so that averag e flam e is approx .
Move this button carefully! It is designed to fine tune your LO W setting in the event you change brands of pellets and/or live at a higher elevation. If this setting is to low the stove may go out during LO W setting operations . If this should happen increase the trim by sm all am ount.
MATCH LIGHT FIRE AND START-UP
1.Filling the Hopper and Start-Up:
CAUTION: FUEL HOPPER LID MUST BE CLOSED BEFORE OPERATING U NIT . MAINTAIN HO PPER SEAL IN GOOD CO NDITION. DO NO T OVERFILL HO PPER ! THE EASYFIRE WILL HOLD ABOUT 60 LBS. OF PELLETS.
Open the top lid and fill the hopper with pellets (Figure 11).
Make sure hopper lid is fully closed. Open the front door and fill the burn pot with a hand full of pellets.
Figure 14
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 14). Light the pellets in Fire Pot using any approved pellet fuel starter.
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
