FUEL SELECTION
Proper fue l selection is im portant for overall operation. Your
stove operates best with 1/4" diam eter wood pe llets that are
no longer than 3/4" long. The pellets should be specifically
manufactured for use pellet heaters. Use of fuel non-
conforming fue l will cause the sto ve to operate erratica lly.
Ad ditionally, a low ash conte nt of be low 1% is required and
will reduce your cleaning and maintenance time. Sto re pe llets
in a clean dry area. Do not use pellets that have been damp
or have a moisture level above 5%.
The quality of pellet fuel va ries fro m bran d to bra nd. This will
affect the efficiency of your heater. W e sugge st that you try
several brand s u ntil you find one that gives you a clean effi-
cient burn. Poor quality pellets will burn rich with black soot
and ash will accum ulate quickly. Qu ality pellets will burn clean
and ash build up will be m inim al.
AUTOLITE START-UP AND OPERATION
Refer to Installation and Op eration m anua l provided with
the unit for standard match lighting and 12V operations.
1. AutoLite Start-Up:
Prior to operating your AutoLite stove, make sure the
hop per is full of wo od p ellets and the interior com pon ents
have be en ins talled prope rly including ; burn screen & po t,
heat exch ange co vers, and ash drawer.
IMPORTANT:
The Fire Pot must be seated flush and
must sit even in the pot tray. Air leaking around the Fire Pot
will create a poor burn (
Figure 11)
. Light the pellets in Fire
Pot using any approve d pellet lighter.
Note: Caution must be taken when installing burn pot or
operating door not to damage ceramic glass. Do not
attempt to operate heater if glass becomes dam aged in any

2.
AutoLite Control Functions: Control functions on the
Easyfire are as follows: OFF, FAN, LOW , MEDIUM, HIGH,
CLEAN. Here is how each function works:
A.
W hen the Control Button is turned to
FAN
, a tim er is
activa ted and you will have abo ut ten (10) m inutes to
get the pellets lit and reach a minimum tem perature.
This function is used for match lighting when the AC
pow er is out.
Should the pellets not light in 10 minutes simply turn the
button to
OFF
and begin again. This will give you
another 10 minutes to get the pellets lit. The reason for
the tim er fun ctio n is so that the heate r will autom atic ally
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 fluctuate betwe en 1 " and 6" in height.
