UNIT CONTROLS
The blowers and automatic fuel supply are controlled from the panel on the BIO-35. The control panel functions are as follows:
Note:
1-
To display the available functions, just touch the control board at any place
2-
Select the desired function
*The display will turn itself off after 2 minutes.
MODE BUTTON
•
When
the
button is pressed, the stove will automatically ignite. The heat level must be selected manually to adjust the stove’s heat output
to the desired level. If the thermostat mode is selected, the stove will automatically modulate between the lowest heat level and the heat level
selected to keep the room temperature at the thermostat’s setting. If the set room temperature is achieved while the stove has been running at the
lowest heat level for more than 45 minutes, the unit will automatically shut off and will start another ignition cycle only when the thermostat calls for
heat again(stove has to cool down completely before igniting again). No fire starter is necessary to ignite the unit. The auger will feed fuel for 4
minutes and the electronic igniter will stay on for 10 minutes. If the unit doesn’t ignite within 15 minutes, the stove will wait for 5 minutes and will
start a second ignition cycle. If ignition fails a second time, a warning message
will appear on control panel.
•
The Heat Level may be selected during the ignition cycle and can be modified in heating mode. However, the unit will only feed fuel at the desired
heat level setting when the heat sensor located into the stove receives a signal indicating that the unit has ignited. This may take anywhere
between 10 and 15 minutes.
FUEL FEED SWITCH
•
By activating this function, the stove will feed for 1 minute and the display will blink. You can stop the distribution by touching the sign a second
time or by starting the stove.
CAUTION:
THIS FUNCTION CAN ONLY BE OPERATED WHEN THE STOVE IS IN “OFF” POSITION. THE FUEL FEED SWITCH IS USED TO
PRIME THE AUGER WHEN THE AUGER IS EMPTY.
NOISE REDUCER
•
The convection blowers speed varies according to the fuel feed rate. A dimmed display indicates that the blowers is in low noise mode.
•
When the “NOISE REDUCER” button is pushed, the convection blowers will switch to their lowest speed. The convection blowers will remain at
their lowest speed unless the stove reaches a certain temperature. If this occurs, the convection blowers will go back to its highest setting to cool
down the stove. The low noise button will have to be pressed again for the convection blowers to go back to their lowest speed. Please note that
the difference in noise level may not be noticeable on units manufactured after 2006. Those units already use two ultra-quiet tubeaxial convection
blowers that produce a very low noise even at full speed.
HEAT LEVEL
•
By pressing the gradient, you can set the pellet feed rate and hence the heat output of your stove. The levels of heat output will change and each
gradient will indicate the level from 1 to 6.
RESET
The reset icon is used to clear any warning on the control before restarting your stove. This icon is only visible when you have a warning code on
the display.
OPENING DOOR
The door should be opened only for maintenance purposes.
CONVECTION BLOWERS (ROOM AIR FANS)
Upon starting your stove, the convection blowers will not come on until the stove’s heat exchanger has warmed up. This usually takes about 10 to 15
minutes from start-up. Speed will vary with the selected feed rate, except if the noise reducer mode has been activated.
