Testing Operation:
Turn the Feed Adjuster to "Test" mode, (fig.
13.) This will cause all motors to run 100% for 2
minutes. The lights on the control panel will be lit
for each motor. If you leave it on "test" the blowers
will cycle as an audible reminder.
Starting Fire:
1. Fill the hopper with dry coal. NOTE: Remove
all coal from hopper ledge. (fig 17)
2. Fill burn-grate area from firebrick to front of
grate with about one inch of (DRY) coal.
3. Plug into 120 volt AC outlet and turn control to
"OFF". Turning to "OFF" and then back to the
desired mode resets the control.
4.Turn Feed Adjuster to the # 3 position, fig. 14.
5. Make a valley in the coal at the top of the burn
grate. Fill valley with fire starting material (coal
starter, crushed charcoal, wood pellets).
6.Turn Mode Selector to Room Temp or Stove
Temp as desired.
7. Turn the Temp Dial to the desired setting.
8. Light the fire and make sure that all doors and
the hopper lid are closed. As the ESP senses the
correct temperature, the Feed Motor will start.
Shutdown Procedure:
To kill the fire or stop burning the stove, turn
the Mode Selector knob to the "OFF" position. This
will stop the feeder and the fire will burn out. When
the stove cools to about 95 degrees Fahrenheit, all
motors will stop. The unit can then be unplugged.
NOTE: It is always best to let the stove run out of
coal to shut it down rather than use the "OFF"
position. This is because there is no moisture
left in the hopper from the coal. Always run the
stove out of coal to shut it down when the heating
season is over or if the stove will not be used for
several days.
Restarting Fire After Shutdown:
All ash and partially burned coal must be cleaned
out from behind grates down under firebrick until
fresh coal is seen. Follow "Starting Fire" procedure
above.
