H. Fire Characteristics
The overall height of the flame will vary throughout the burn
for a couple of reasons. First is that the flame will vary based
on type of fuel or even batch of fuel. Secondly, the appliance
adjusts the burn rate according to the how far away the
room temperature is from the set temperature. This should
not cause alarm. The third characteristic that affects the fire
relates to general maintenance and cleaning. Infrequent or
poor general maintenance will result is poorer performance.
Indicators of the need for additional maintenance activities
include a lazy flame, black sooted glass, pellets not
igniting, or pellets falling to the side of the firepot. See the
maintenance section for additional information.
I. Ignition Cycles
1. At the beginning of each ignition cycle, it is normal to see
some smoke in the firebox. The smoke will stop once the
fire starts.
2. The convection blower will automatically turn on after
your appliance has been burning for approximately
10 minutes.
3. This blower transfers heat from your appliance into the
room, and will continue to run even after the unit has
shutdown. It will turn off after the exhaust temperature
has cooled.
4. Occasionally the appliance may run out of fuel and shut
itself down. When this happens the empty hopper alarm
will be triggered.
J. Running in Minimum or Maximum
When the dial control is set to run on the minimum or
maximum setting, the appliance will continue to run without
regard to the actual temperature in the room. The appliance
will shut off only if the dial control is set to a different setting
or there is an error such as an empty hopper.
When running on minimum or maximum it is important to
follow the daily cleaning activities especially cleaning the
firepot. Failure to do so will reduce the performance of
the appliance.
K. Running in the Automatic Mode
When the dial control is set to run in the automatic mode the
unit will adjust the actual burn rate based on the difference
between the room temperature as sensed by the probe
located in the rear of the unit and the desired comfort level
as set on the dial control.
The comfort level range is from 65 degrees Fahrenheit to 82
degrees Fahrenheit.
Once the desired comfort level is achieved the appliance will
automatically shut down and turn off. When the temperature
in the room drops 3 degrees below the desired comfort
level, the appliance will automatically restart.
M. Clear Space
NOTICE:
Clearances may only be reduced by means
approved by the regulatory authority having jurisdiction.
Mantel:
Avoid placing candles and other heat-sensitive
objects on mantel or hearth. Heat may damage these objects.
L. Trim Adjustment
Trim adjustment is the small dial located below the main
dial control. Rotating this dial will adjust the air/fuel ratio and
below are examples of when to use it:
•
If the fire is too large, lazy or producing black soot,
rotate the dial counterclockwise one level at a time and
allow 15 minutes for stabilization before making another
adjustment
•
If your fire is too small and sometimes goes out when
there are pellets in the hopper, rotate the dial clockwise
one level at a time and allow 15 minutes for stabilization
before making another adjustment.
Odors, vapors, and smoke released during
initial operation.
•
Curing of high temperature paint.
•
Open windows for air circulation.
Odors may be irritating to sensitive individuals.
CAUTION
!
RISK OF FIRE!
Do NOT place combustible objects in front or to the sides
of the appliance. High temperatures may ignite clothing,
furniture or draperies.
WARNING
!
RISK OF FIRE!
Keep combustible materials, gasoline and other
flammable vapors and liquids clear of appliance.
•
Do NOT store flammable materials in the
appliance’s vicinity.
•
Do NOT use gasoline, lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal
lighter fluid or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a
fire in this heater.
Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is
in use as combustible materials may ignite.
