FIRE DESCRIPTION
The Parkwood range of Pellet Fires is designed to sit on a Hearth Pad Pedestal (on combustible surfaces) as a
freestanding Fire or can be installed as a Fireplace Insert with Surround Panels. A Control Panel is located at the top
right rear of the Fire. The controls include 5 heat settings, On/Off Timers and an On/Off switch and lights to indicate
proper operation. Above the glass Firebox front door are Heat Vanes through which hot room air is blown by the room
air Convection Blower. The Heat-Setting switches will vary the speed of the room air convection blower and increase or
decrease the amount of fuel delivered to the Fire. On the back of the Fire a 75mm exhaust pipe protrudes from the
Combustion Air Blower, the Flue is connected to the exhaust pipe via a Cleanout Tee. The Air Damper Rod located on
the lower right side panel regulates combustion airflow. The front top of the Fire lifts up for easy loading of fuel.
1. Parkwood Pellet Fires are simple and safe to use. A relatively small amount of fuel is burned in an extremely efficient
firebox to provide a constant even heat.
2. The fuel is poure
d into the Hopper. After the Fire has been turned on (see “Starting” procedure) the Auger Motor
delivers fuel down the Pellet Feed Chute a few pellets at a time, into the Burn Pot Liner at a controlled rate. Hot air from
an electric element is blown onto the fuel until the fuel spontaneously combusts after 4-8 minutes. The Exhaust Fan
delivers combustion air to the Burn Pot creating an efficient burn. The hot exhaust gases are drawn through Heat
Exchangers, which extract heat from the gases as they are discharged to the exhaust flue.
3. The room air Convection Blower circulates room air through the Heat Exchangers located just above the Fire Box
Door. The room air Convection Blower is intended to run continuously and is controlled by the Heat Up/Down switch;
this ensures that constant temperatures can be maintained.
4. The Air Damper Rod is used to adjust the amount of combustion air supplied to the Fire to achieve an efficient heat
output.
5. The Burn Pot Ash Slide is used to remove ash from the Burn Pot and deposit it in the Ash Pan.
6. The Fire will deliver a constant amount of heat, which can be varied by adjusting the Heat “Up” & “Down” switches.
Besides initial lighting of the Fire, the only regular attention needed will be to fill the Hopper with fuel; inspection of the
Burn Pot Liner for “Build up of pellets” or “clinkering” and adjusting the Air Damper Rod as required. Refer to
Combustion Air and Air Damper Rod adjustments on page 24.
