N. Restarting the Appliance
Restart Process
1. When the unit has run out of fuel and the “empty
hopper” error code illuminates, add pellet fuel to the
hopper.
2. Dump the ashes and clinkers built up in the fi repot by
pulling the ash dump removal handle out several times.
Makre sure clinkers have dropped into the ash pan
then return the handle to fully closed position.
3. Turn the dial control to OFF and then up to high 2X to
prime.
4. After seeing pellets drop then turn to desired setting to
reset the appliance control system. The appliance will
then begin its startup sequence.
Restarting After a Power Failure
1. For an electrical disruption the appliance will start on
its own without need for priming - providing the control
system is asking for heat.
2. The appliance will always go through a normal shut-
down sequence before restarting.
Remote Power Requirements
•
The remote receiver power is maintained through appli-
ance power.
•
The remote thermostat uses four AAA batteries.
O. Clear Space
NOTICE: Clearances may only be reduced by means
ap proved by the regulatory authority having jurisdiction.
Mantel:
Avoid placing candles and other heat-sensitive ob-
jects on mantel or hearth. Heat may damage these objects.
P. Trim Adjustment
(Default factory setting is -2)
content)
•
Fuel Type (hardwood, softwood, lower BTU fuels)
•
Appliances not properly adjusted will:
•
Require more frequent cleanings
•
Result in nuisance shut downs and/or missed ignitions
• Waste
fuel
Consult your QuadraFire Dealer with specifi c questions
regarding proper adjustments for maximum performance.
Where to Start:
If Burning Hardwood Pellet Fuel
QuadraFire recommends setting the appliance at a -4
trim setting as a start. From our testing, hardwood fuels
burn well between -4 and -2 settings.
If Burning Lower BTU Pellet Fuel, Utility Pellet Fuel, or
High Ash Pellet Fuel
QuadraFire recommends setting the appliance and leaving
at a -4 trim setting. From our testing, lower BTU fuels
result in large clinkers in the bottom of the fi repot during
normal operation. Using this type of fuel will increase the
recommended fi repot cleaning interval.
If Burning Softwood Pellet Fuel
QuadraFire recommends starting at a -2 trim setting and
adjusting based on installation confi gurations. From our
testing, softwood fuels burn well at a variety of settings.
If Elevation is 3000 feet above Sea Level or Higher
When burning at higher elevations you will need more
air for the fi re to burn properly. QuadraFire recommends
starting with a Trim Setting of -3. From our testing,
appliances at higher elevations burn best at settings
-4,-3, +3, and +4. Review fuel types and installation
confi gurations for choosing the right setting.
If appliance has long horizontal venting sections or
more than two 90 degree Elbows
QuadraFire recommends starting at a -4 trim setting and
making adjustments based on fuel type and elevation.
From our testing, we have found that -4,-3, +3, or +4 have
worked well depending on fuels.
Indicators that Trim Adjustment is needed:
1. The
fl ame appears lazy
2. Smoke can be seen in the fi rebox after start up during
normal burn
3. Excessive build up of clinkers taller than a 1/2” in the
bottom of the fi repot
4. The
fi re goes out when in normal operating mode

More Air & Less Fuel
The small dial located below the main dial control is used
to adjust the amount of fuel and combustion air used for
effi cient clean burning. Adjusting the trim along with proper
cleaning of the fi repot and heat exchanger will help achieve
maximum performance of your Mt Vernon E2 Appliance.
Your appliance may need to be adjusted based on any or
all of the following:
•
Elevation (3000 feet above Sea Level or Higher)
• Venting/Installation
Confi gurations (installations with
greater than 4’ horizontal or more than two 90 degree
elbows)
•
Fuel Quality (lower BTU fuels or fuels with high ash
