automatic operation
shut down Procedure
The best way to shut down the stove is to simply let it
run out of pellets. The stove will shut down automatically.
Alternatively, you can turn the Mode Selector to “off”. This
will cause the fire to gradually die down and go out. The fire
will not go out immediately and may take more than an hour
to fully shut down.
If the stove is left to run out of fuel, you may get a 6 blink
status light. If this happens simply reset the control board by
turning the mode selector to OFF and back ON.
constant burn Mode
In the Constant Burn Mode and with the igniter toggle switch
in the Auto position, the stove will light automatically and can
be adjusted to the desired setting using the same temperature
control dial as is used in the Room Temperature Mode.
The heat output and fuel consumption will remain constant
regardless of room temperature. The settings from 1 to 7 on
the inner ring of the temperature dial provide for relative heat
output settings with 1 being low and 7 being the maximum.
In Constant Burn Mode, the stove will not automatically shut
off unless the stove runs out of fuel or is turned off.
Never pull the plug to shut down the stove. This will stop the
combustion blower and smoke will escape through window
and door gaskets.
When the igniter toggle switch is set to manual in this mode,
the distribution blower will not turn on with a temperature dial
setting from 1 to 5. The advantage of this mode is to allow
the operator to have a large viewing fire without blowing extra
heat into the room.
During manual operation, with the temperature dial set at
#4 or less, the distribution fan will not operate. A #4 on the
temperature dial and a #5 on the feed limit is approximately
80% output. It is not necessary to operate the distribution
blower below this point. Therefore, the control allows a higher
burn rate (a larger viewing fire) without an excess of hot air
blowing into the room.
An example of when to use the Manual Constant Burn Mode
is if you want to watch a large fire and the room is already up
to temperature. The Constant Burn Mode allows you to have
a larger fire and a lower sound level, without the distribution
blower.
note:
During the use of this mode, if you keep increasing
the temperature dial setting to increase the fire size, the
distribution blower will automatically come on when the ESP
Temperature reaches 350 °F, or 81% output.
Feed limit knob
For most premium grade pellet fuels the Feed limit Knob
should be set at 4. If higher ash fuels are used the setting
should be increased to 5 or 6. Also higher settings are
required if you would like to get the maximum heat output from
the stove. At the maximum burn rate (with the temperature
dial on 7/90° and the feed limit at 6) there should be 1" or
more of ash on the front of the burn pot. If there is less than
1" of ash, turn the feed limit knob down to a lower setting.
