HOW YOUR STOVE WORKS
Your pellet stove utilizes a inclined auger fuel feed
system that is operated by a microprocessor controlled
digital circuit board. The digital circuit board allows the
inclined auger fuel feed system to run in a timer-based,
non-continuous cycle; this cycling allows the auger to
run for a predetermined period of seconds. The auger
pushes pellets up a chute located at the front/bottom of
the hopper which in turn falls through another chute into
the burnpot. Your stove is equipped with an automatic
ignition system that should ignite the fuel within 5-10
minutes from pressing the ON button. As pellets enter
the burn pot and ignite, outside air is drawn across the
fuel and heated during the combustion process which is
then pulled through the heat exchanger by the exhaust
motor or draft fan. As the stove heats up, room air is
circulated around the heat exchanger by means of a room
air blower, distributing warm air into the room.
The amount of heat produced by the stove is proportional
to the rate of the fuel that is burned, and this rate is
controlled by the “HEAT RANGE” setting. In order to
maintain combustion of the fuel at a desired rate, the
air provided to the burn chamber by the exhaust or
draft fan must be maintained precisely. Too little air
will result in a flame that is non-energetic or lazy. If the
fuel continues to flow with too little air for long enough,
the burn pot will fill with too much fuel and the fire will
smother out. To much air will result in a flame that is
overactive or aggressive. The flame in this situation is
typically very blue at the bottom and resembles a blow
torch. If this situation continues, the fuel in the burn pot
will be consumed and the fire will go out. Matching the
amount of air required for proper combustion to the fuel
rate is the primary objective in effectively burning pellets
of various brands and qualities in your stove. The air to
fuel ratio can be adjusted to allow almost any fuel quality
to burn effectively by following the procedures detailed
in the remainder of this manual. Because a forced draft
pressure is required for the combustion process inside
your stove, it is extremely important that the exhaust
system be properly installed and maintained. And, that
when operating your stove, you make sure that the
viewing door is properly sealed.
PANEL/REMOTE CONTROLS
The operation of this appliance can be controlled from
the panel located on the side of the stove and/or by the
remote control. The control functions are as follows:
A.
On/Off Switch (“Power” Button)
• When pushed, the stove will automatically ignite. No
other fire starter is necessary. The igniter will stay
on for at least 10 and up to 12 minutes, depending on
when Proof of Fire is reached. The fire should start in
approximately 5 minutes.
• After pushing “POWER”, the auger motor is on for 3.5
minutes, off for 1 minute. During the remainder of the
start-up period, the auger motor operates on the heat
range “1” setting.
• During start up the heat level advance (Up and Down
keys) will change the heat range indicator level
accordingly, but there is no change in the stoves
operating conditions until start-up is completed.
• During start-up ignition must occur within 12 minutes
or the stove will error out and show E3.
• During the start-up phase, the Mode key does not
function.
