battery attached. Battery will drain

.
6. If you choose to separate the battery from the
heater by lengthening the cables, you must make
sure the cable 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 make
sure you have used the proper gauge wire/cable.
7. The automatic ignition feature will not work on
DC power only. The stove can be lit manually
with an approved starter material. Call Thelin
Hearth Products if you need help with manual
lighting.
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
CAUTION : Moving parts may cause injury. DO
NOT operate with rear cover removed.
WARNING : Risk of electrical shock. Disconnect
all power before servicing.
Always turn your heater off and let it cool before
cleaning.
Your Echo Pellet Heater requires routine
maintenance for maximum performance, and it is
mandatory for the warranty to remain in effect.
The following procedures should be studied
carefully and performed regularly as indicated.
a. Soot and Fly Ash: Formation and Need for
Removal: The products of combustion will
contain small particles of fly ash. The fly
ash will collect in the exhaust venting
system and restrict the flow of the flue
gases. Incomplete combustion, such that
occurs during start-up, shutdown, or
incorrect operation of the room heater, will
lead to some soot formation which will
collect in the exhaust venting system. The
exhaust venting system should be inspected
at least once every year to determine if
cleaning is necessary.
FIGURE 12
Here are some other maintenance procedures
that should be performed on a regular basis.
b. Open door and remove clean out cover
screws. To remove, simply unscrew and lift
out from each side (see Figure 12). Clean
one side at a time. With covers removed,
leave the door open and push the “Clean”
button. Let heater run 30 seconds, push to
“Off,” and replace cover. Remove the
remaining clean out cover and repeat
procedure for other side.
c. Vacuum inside stove ash pockets on both
sides of fire pot and heat exchange tubes.
