2. 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 is set to
FAN
, a tim er is activated
and you will have about ten (10) m inutes to get the
pellets lit and reach a m inim um tem perature.
Should the pellets not light in the 10 m inutes sim ply turn
the knob to
OFF
and begin again. This will give you
another 10 m inutes to get the pellets lit. The reason for
the tim er function is so that the heater will autom atically
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
approxim ately 1 to 1½ lbs. of pellets per hour and the
flam e will fluctuate between 1" and 6" in height.
C.
In the
M EDIUM
position the EASYFIRE will be
feeding approxim ately three (3) pounds of pellets per
hour and the flam e will fluctuate between 3" and 8" of
fire.
D.
In the
HIGH
position the EASYFIRE will be feeding
approxim ately 4 lbs. per hour and the flam e will
fluctuate between 3" and a full flam e. The fan speed
will increase accordingly as the heater autom atically
adjusts itself based on tem perature inside the heater
(see G below).
E.
The
CLEAN
position is to be used only when the
heater is not burning and you wish to clean out the
accum ulated ash in the front of the fire area. See
CLEAN OUT
section of m aintenance instructions.
F.
After the heater is running for several hours and you
wish to turn it off sim ply turn the knob to
OFF
.
The
heater w ill continue running until it cools dow n
and then will automatically shut itself dow n
.
G.
REM EM BER:
Each feed position will fluctuate
because the m icroprocessor is autom atically
adjusting the feed and air based on tem perature. This
m eans the pellet feed rate and flam e height will
change accordingly based on quality of pellet and
heat loss of dwelling.
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE
CAUTION:
Moving parts m ay cause injury, DO NOT
operate with rear cover rem oved.
W ARNING:
Risk of electrical shock, disconnect all power
before servicing.
ALW AYS TURN YOUR Heater OFF & LET IT COOL
BEFORE CLEANING.
Your EASYFIRE Pellet Heater requires routine
m aintenance for m axim um perform ance and is m andatory
for the warranty to rem ain in effect.
The following procedures should be studied carefully and
perform ed regularly as indicated:
1. Fly-ash:
Som e ash will accum ulate in the heat
exchanger, Fire Pot and flue and should be cleaned out
on a regular basis for best efficiency and safety. W hen
the heater is shut down and cold, you should:
a.
Open door and rem ove Heat Exchanger Cover. To
rem ove, sim ply slide up and out from retaining angle
bracket (
Figure 12
). Clean one side at a tim e. W ith
one slide cover rem oved,
leave door open
and turn
control knob to the
"CLEAN"
position. Let heater run
until ash in Fire Pot area is vacuum ed out by heater
fan. Turn off and replace cover. Rem ove rem aining
cover and repeat procedure for the other side. The
vent pipe should be cleaned out after this procedure.
Rem ove the clean-out port cover
(Figure 13)
and
vacuum as required.
b.
Rem ove Fire Pot by lifting up and out, it m ay be
brushed out or vacuum ed. Fire Pot should be
cleaned daily. Make sure holes in pot are not
clogged. The area around and below the pot should
be checked every five or six days depending on how
m any hours a day you are burning your heater and
the quality of the pellets being burned. (After a few
days you will be able to determ ine the frequency
needed for clean out.)
The im portant thing to rem em ber is that excessive Fly-
ash accum ulation will affect the efficiency of the burn.
c.
Scrape pellet feed chute with putty knife to rem ove
hardened m aterial on which sawdust can
accum ulate.
