Prior to stove operating on therm ostat, confirm proper
operation by servicing and adjusting the stove as
outlined in the “Installation Guide”. When servicing
stove, operate with therm ostat bypassed as stove will
reset to start up mode each tim e therm ostat is
activated.
C.
In the
M EDIUM
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+ 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 tem perature 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
accum ulated ash in the front of the fire area. See
CLEAN OUT
section of m aintenance instructions.
F.
After the heater is running for several hours and you
wish to turn it off sim ply press the button to
OFF
.
The
heater w ill continue running until it cools dow n
and then will automatically shut itself dow n
.
G.
REM EM BER:
Each feed position will fluctuate
because the m icroprocessor is autom atically
adjusting the feed and air based on tem perature. This
m eans the pellet feed rate and flam e 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) and turn the therm ostat 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 tem perature it will then
switch to the control panel setting and begin it’s autom atic
operation cycle.
Feed Trim Adjustment
Underneath the control button you will find a sm all round
button that will turn forward and reverse. This button can
adjust the feed m otor 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 1:00
o’clock.
Once the stove is at operating tem perature for one hour
set the stove on LOW . Adjust the trim button so that
average flam e is approx. 1-2" above the burn pot. This
w ill set the average feed rate (air/flue) for best
operation.
M ove this button carefully!
It is designed to fine tune
your LOW setting in the event you change brands of pellets
and/or live at a higher elevation. If this setting is to low the
stove m ay go out during LOW setting operations. If this
should happen increase the trim by sm all am ount.
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE
CAUTION:
Moving parts m ay cause injury, DO NOT
operate with rear cover rem oved.
W ARNING:
Risk of electrical shock, disconnect all AC/DC
power before servicing.
ALW AYS TURN YOUR Heater OFF & LET IT COOL
BEFORE CLEANING.
Your EASYFIRE Pellet Heater requires routine
m aintenance for m axim um perform ance and is m andatory
for the warranty to rem ain in effect.
The following procedures should be studied carefully and
perform ed regularly as indicated:
1. Fly-ash:
Som e ash will accum ulate in the heat
exchanger, Fire Pot and flue and should be cleaned out
on a regular basis for best efficiency and safety. W hen
the heater is shut down and cold, you should:
a.
Open door and rem ove Heat Exchanger Cover. To
rem ove, sim ply slide up and out from retaining angle
bracket (
Figure 12
). Clean one side at a tim e. W ith
one slide cover rem oved,
leave door open
and turn
control button to the
"CLEAN"
position. Let heater
run until ash in Fire Pot area is vacuum ed out by
heater fan. Turn off and replace cover. Rem ove
rem aining cover and repeat procedure for the other
side. The vent pipe should be cleaned out after this
procedure. Rem ove the clean-out port cover
(Figure
13)
and vacuum as required.
b.
Rem ove Fire Pot by lifting up and out, it m ay be
brushed out or vacuum ed. Fire Pot should be
cleaned weekly and depending on pellet quality daily.
Make sure holes in pot are not clogged. The area
around and below the pot should be checked every
five or six days depending on how m any 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 determ ine the frequency needed for clean
out.)
The im portant thing to rem em ber is that excessive Fly-
ash accum ulation will affect the efficiency of the burn.
c.
Scrape pellet feed chute with putty knife to rem ove
hardened m aterial on which sawdust can
accum ulate.
d.
The clean-out port cover should be rem oved and the
vent pipe checked every four to six weeks or
whenever you utilize the clean-out m ode on the
control dial.
e.
Fly-ash can also accum ulate in the vent pipe and
term ination cap. Inspect exhaust system frequently to
m aintain free flow of exhaust fum es and fly-ash. The
frequency of clean-out depends entirely on the quality
of the pellets, so you will have to initially m onitor the
buildup in the pellet vent pipe.
2. Hopper Clean Out:
Vacuum the accum ulated saw dust
in the hopper weekly. Keep free of debris and foreign
m aterial. AN ACCUMULATION OF SAW DUST CAN
CAUSE IRREGULAR PELLET FEED. For best results
this should be done on a regular basis depending upon
how often the heater is used. If you burn the heater all
the tim e you should do this every eight to ten days.
3. Cleaning the Exhaust Fan Blade & Heat Exchanger:
The exhaust blower should be checked for excessive Fly-
ash buildup. Regular and routine m aintenance utilizing
the
CLEAN OUT
feature will keep the exhaust blower
housing and fan blades clean. This cleaning can only be
done when the heater is NOT burning. For best results
