COMBEX
tm
Your stove uses a unique patented technology called COMBEX. As opposed to most other pellet stoves, which use only an
exhaust blower, your BIO-35 uses a motor on which are mounted two housings with impeller blades. One housing serves for
combustion, and the other for exhaust. This is why we refer to the combustion/exhaust blower throughout this manual. The
COMBEX system balances combustion air and uptake to provide clean, worry-free combustion which is less dependent on the
leak-tightness of the device and the quality of the combustible.
IF THE STOVE RUNS OUT OF PELLETS
The fire goes out and the auger motor and blowers will run until the stove cools down. This will take a few minutes.
After the stove’s components stop running, a warning message will appear
.
To restart, press
, refill the hopper , and press
until pellets begin to fall into the burn pot. Press
to start the unit.
COMBURANT AIR DAMPER CONTROL
The damper control on the stove is located the right hand side panel or on the right hand side decorative panel for the insert. This control is used to
adjust the air intake manually depending on the type of installation and different brands of pellets used. It allows you to improve the efficiency of your
stove. Providing correct combustion air will reduce the frequency of cleaning your door glass and reduce creosote build-up of creosote inside your stove
and chimney.
You should adjust the damper based on the fire’s appearance. A low, reddish, dirty fire can be improved by increasing the air supply using the damper
rod. A “blow torch” fire can be improved by reducing the air supply.
Through trial and error, you will find the best setting. Consult your dealer if you need help.
REFUELING
We recommend that you do not let the hopper drop below 1/4 full. If the hopper lid stays open more than 3 minutes, a warning
will appear. To
restart, press
icon, and then press
.
For insert installation, use the removable door handle to open and close the hopper lid(Figure 37 & 38)
