Control Functions:
Control functions on the Eas yfire
are as follows: OFF, FAN, LOW , MEDIUM, HIGH,
CLEAN. Here is how each function works:
A.
W hen the Control Knob is turned to
FAN
, a tim er is
activa ted a nd you will have abo ut ten (10) m inutes to
get the pe llets lit and re ach a m inim um tem pera ture.
Sh ou ld th e pellets n ot lig ht in the 10 m inutes sim ply
turn the knob to
OFF
and begin aga in. This will give
you another 10 minutes to get the pellets lit. The
reas on for the tim er fun ctio n is so tha t the heate r will
automatically shut down if the fire goes out. Pellets do
not feed in the FAN position.
B.
In the
LOW
position, the EASYFIRE will be feeding
approximately 1 to 1½ lbs. of pellets per hour and the
flam e will fluctu ate b etwe en 1 " and 6" in he ight.
C.
In the
MEDIUM
position the EASYFIRE will be feeding
approximately three (3) pounds of pellets per hour and
the flame will fluctuate between 3" and 8" of fire.
D.
In the
HIGH
position the EASYFIRE will be feeding
ap prox im ate ly 4.5 lbs. pe r ho ur and th e fla m e w ill
fluctuate between 3" and a full flame. The fan speed
will increa se acco rdingly as the heate r au tom atic ally
adjusts itself based on temperature inside the heater
(see G below).
E.
The
CL EAN
position is to be used only when the
heater is not burning and you wish to clean out the
accumulated ash in the front of the fire area. See
CLEAN OUT
section of maintenance instructions.
F.
After the heater is running for several hours and you
wish to turn it off simply turn the knob to
OFF
.
The
heater will continue running until it cools down
and then will automatically shut itself down
.
G. REMEMBER:
Eac h fee d po sition w ill fluctu ate
because the microprocessor is automatically adjusting
the feed and air based on temperature. This means
the pellet feed rate and flame height will change
accordingly based on quality of pellet and heat loss of
dwelling.
DISPOSAL OF ASHES
To dum p ash from firebox, move lever to left several times
allowing spring to return against stop
(Figure 10 & 11)
.
Once ash box is full, box should be placed in a non-
co m bu stib le flo or or o n th e groun d, w ell awa y fro m all
combustible materials pending final disposal. If the ashes
are disp os ed of b y burial in soil or othe rwise locally
dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container
until all cinders have been thoroughly cooled.
OPTIONAL 12V HOOK-UP & OPERATION
1.
The EASYFIRE 12V back up can be purchased as an
option and includes the following components:
a.
Dee p cycle sealed 12V batter y.
b.
Battery connector cables for ho ok-up to the he ater.
2.
In order to hook-up the battery and engage the 12V
backup system sim ply connect red cable to red terminal
on the heater
(see Figure 6)
and to positive connector
on battery [the terminal marked (+)] and connect the
black c able to the b lack term inal on the heate r and to
the negative connector on the battery (the terminal
marked (-). If you hook up the cables backwards the red
LED light abo ve the term inal rec epta cles will com e on . If
hooked up properly this LED will glow green.
WARNING - MAKE SURE RED CABLE GOES TO RED
TERMINAL (POSITIVE CONNECTOR) AND BLACK
CABLE GOES TO BLACK TERM INAL (NEGATIVE
CO NN ECT OR ).
3.
If you decide to purchase your own 12V back up system
we reco m m end a se aled gel ce ll battery. Fa ilure to
install the prop er ba ttery cou ld cau se p hysica l harm to
you and your property and will also void the heater
wa rra nty.
4.
W hen the battery is properly connected and the heater
plugg ed in, th e fo llow ing will hap pe n auto m atic ally:
a.
The heate r will autom atic ally switc h to 12V p ow er if
there is a power failure, and switch back when power
is restored.
b.
The battery will be trickle charged as long as the
heater is plugged into 110 AC wall outlet. Do not use
extension cords. The trickle charge will not recharge
a low or dead battery but it will keep a charged
battery at maximum performance.
5.
If you choose to separate the battery from the heater by
lengthening the cables you must m ake sure that the
cable wire used will carry the current to the heater. For
example, if the distance is 10 to 20 feet then 12 gauge
wire must be used. Check with your local electrical
professional to mak e sure you have used the proper
gauge wire/cable.
