heat exchanger hot before turning it to "LOW ". You will need to burn the heater for a few hours before deciding which setting is best for your particular needs.
NOTE: CAUTION MUST BE TAKEN WHEN INSTALLING BURN POT OR OPERATING DOOR NOT TO DAMAGE CERAMIC GLASS. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE HEATER IF GLASS BECOMES DAMAGED IN ANY WAY!
CAUTION: BOTH THE MAIN DOOR AND THE ASH DRAWER MUST BE PROPERLY ADJUSTED AND FULLY CLOSED TO FORM AN AIR-TIGHT SEAL FOR PROPER STOVE OPERATION. FAILURE TO SECURE DOOR AND DRAWER MAY CAUSE OVER FEEDING AND HIGH TEM PERATURE SHUT DOWNS.
DO NOT USE GRATES OR OTHER METHODS OF SUPPORTING FUEL IN BURN POT OR INTERIOR OF STOVE.
2.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 Knob is turned to FAN, a tim er is activated and you will have about ten (10) m inutes to get the pellets lit and reach a minim um tem perature. Should the pellets not light in the 10 minutes sim ply turn the knob to OFF and begin again. This will give you another 10 m inutes to get the pellets lit. The reason for the tim er function 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 approxim ately 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 approxim ately three (3) pounds of pellets per hour and the flam e will fluctuate between 3" and 8" of fire.
D. In the HIGH position the EASYFIRE will be feeding approxim ately 4.5 lbs. per hour and the flam e will fluctuate between 3" and a full flam e. The fan speed will increase accordingly as the heater autom 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 sim ply 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 microprocessor is autom atically adjusting the feed and air based on tem perature. This means the pellet feed rate and flam e height will change accordingly based on quality of pellet and heat loss of dwelling.
DISPOSAL OF ASHES
To dum p ash from firebox, move lever to left several tim es allowing spring to return against stop (Figure 10 & 11). Once ash box is full, box should be placed in a non-
com bustible floor or on the ground, well away from all com bustible materials pending final disposal. If the ashes
are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have been thoroughly cooled.
OPTIONAL 12V HOOK-UP & OPERATION
1.The EASYFIRE 12V back up can be purchased as an option and includes the following com ponents:
a. Deep cycle sealed 12V battery.
b. Battery connector cables for hook-up to the heater.
2.In order to hook-up the battery and engage the 12V backup system sim ply connect red cable to red term inal on the heater (see Figure 6) and to positive connector on battery [the term inal marked (+)] and connect the black cable to the black term inal on the heater and to the negative connector on the battery (the term inal
m arked (-). If you hook up the cables backwards the red LED light above the term inal receptacles will com e on. If hooked up properly this LED will glow green.
WARNING - MAKE SURE RED CABLE GOES TO RED TERMINAL (POSITIVE CONNECTOR) AND BLACK CABLE GOES TO BLACK TERMINAL (NEGATIVE CONNECTOR).
3.If you decide to purchase your own 12V back up system we recom m end a sealed gel cell battery. Failure to install the proper battery could cause physical harm to you and your property and will also void the heater warranty.
4.W hen the battery is properly connected and the heater plugged in, the following will happen autom atically:
a.The heater will autom atically switch to 12V power if there is a power failure, and switch back when power is restored.
b. The battery will be trickle charged as long as the heater is plugged into 110 AC wall outlet. Do not use extension cords. The trickle charge will not recharge a low or dead battery but it will keep a charged battery at maxim um perform ance.
5.If you choose to separate the battery from the heater by lengthening the cables you must make sure that the cable wire used will carry the current to the heater. For example, if the distance is 10 to 20 feet then 12 gauge wire must be used. Check with your local electrical professional to make sure you have used the proper gauge wire/cable.
CANADIAN REQUIREMENTS
If this unit is being installed in Canada, the following additional requirem ents must be meant:
1.A chim ney connector shall no pass through and attic or roof space, closet or sim ilar concealed space, or a floor, or ceiling.
2.W here a chim ney passage through a wall, or partition of com bustible construction is desired, the installation shall conform the CAN/CSA-B365.
3.Maintain an effective vapour barrier at the location where the chim ney or other component penetrates to the exterior of the structure by sealing with high tem perature silicone.
