HOW YOUR HEATER WORKS
Your pellet heater operates on a timer based auger
fuel feed system, that is controlled by a digital circuit
board. The fuel is delivered from the auger into a
burn pot, which is the vessel where the combustion
process takes place. Based upon the heat ranges
(1-5), the heater will feed the appropriate amount
of fuel to reach a set temperature range. Note that
the amount of heat produced by the heater is
proportional to the rate of the fuel that is burned.
Your heater is equipped with an automatic ignition
system that should ignite the fuel within 5-10
minutes from pressing the ON button. As pellets
fall into the burn pot and ignite, outside air is drawn
in to feed the fire by a combustion blower. The post
combustion gases are then pulled through the heat
exchanger as they are traveling out the exhaust. As
the heater warms up, room air is circulated around
the heat exchanger by means of a room air blower,
distributing warm air into the room. Because a
forced draft pressure is required for the combustion
process inside your heater, it is extremely important
that the exhaust system be properly maintained.
And, that when operating your heater, you make
sure that the viewing and combustion doors are
properly closed and/or sealed.
CONTROL PANEL OVERVIEW
Turning the heater ON/OFF, as well as adjustments
for the fuel feed rate is performed by pressing the
appropriate button(s) on the control panel which is
located on the front, lower left-hand corner of your
heater.
ON/OFF
•
Pressing the “ON” button on the control panel will
begin the start-up sequence for the heater. Fuel
will begin to feed through the auger feed system
then ignite after approx. 5 minutes.
•
Pressing the “OFF” button on the control panel
will cause the heater to enter its shut-down
sequence. The fuel feed system will stop pulling
fuel from the hopper and, once the fire goes out
and the heater cools down, the fans will stop
running.
HEAT RANGE
•
Pressing the “Heat Range” arrows, up or down,
will adjust the amount of fuel being delivered to
the burn pot.
•
The exhaust blower will start. Note that this
appliance pulses the exhaust blower in order to
achieve the proper air to fuel ratio, and to also aid
in the cleaning of the burn pot.
• Once the heater reaches a set temperature, the
room fan will come on.
LIGHT (LED) INDICATORS
•
Heat Range LED - displays the selected heat
setting. Number “1” LED lights to display that
there is power to unit even if the heater is off.
•
Door Sw LED - lights when front viewing door is
opened or if the hopper lid is raised.
•
Press Sw LED - lights if pressure is lost inside the
combustion chamber (see “Errors”).
•
E LED - Operational Error (see “Errors”).
•
ON LED - Flashes in start-up mode. On solid
during Run mode
•
OFF LED - Flashes during shut down mode.
