FUEL SELECTION
Proper fuel selection is critical. Your stove requires 1/4"
diam ete r woo d pellets. The pellets m us t be spec ifically
manufactured for use pellet heaters. Use of fuel non-
con form ing fu el will cause th e sto ve to o pera te erra tically.
Additionally, a low ash content of below 1% is will reduce
your cleaning and maintenance time. Store pellets in a
clean dry area. Do not use pellets that have been damp or
h av e a m ois tu re le ve l a bo ve 5% .
The quality o f pe llet fue l varies from bra nd to b rand . This
will affect the efficiency of your heater. W e suggest that
you try several brands until you find one that gives you a
clean eff icient burn. P oor q uality pellets will burn rich w ith
black s oot a nd a sh w ill accum ulate q uick ly. Qua lity pellets
will burn clean and ash build up will be m inim al.
AUTOLITE OPERATION
Your EASYFIRE Pellet Stove is equipped with the
Autolite Automatic ignition and operating system.
The AutoLite system is integrated into the stove to allow
for au tom atic sta rt up usin g a heatin g elem en t loc ate d in
the b urn p ot. This ele m ent s tarts th e initial fire req uired to
burn the wood pellets. The system operates on 120VAC
power su pplied through a sepa rate fuse and run s for five
m inutes during the initial stove start up. After the five
minute period the AutoLite system is deactivated and the
stove operates based on the EasyFire digital control system
requirements. If the house AC power should quit, the
AutoLite system will not be available however, with the
optional battery attached the stove can be manually lit and
operate on battery power for several days (depending on
battery size).
START-UP AND OPERATION
Priming the feed system
W hen the stove has run out of fuel the feed systems
requires several start and stop cycles to charge the auger.
Pushing the Low button from Off will start the feed for 90
seconds. W hen the feed stops cycle to Off then back to Low
for another 90 seconds. W hen pellets begin to fall in the
burn pot switch to Off. You are now ready to start the stove.

AutoLite Start-Up:
Prior to operating your AutoLite stove, make sure the hopper
is full of wood pellets and the interior components have been
installed properly including; burn screen & pot, heat
excha nge cove rs, and ash dra wer.
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 3)
. 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
atte m pt to op erate he ater if glas s be com es d am aged in
any w ay!

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 a nd you will have abo ut twe nty (20) 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 20 minutes simply turn the
button to
OFF
and begin again. This will give you
another cycle to get the pellets lit. The reason for the
timer function is so that the heater will automatically shut
down if the fire goes out. Pellets do not feed in the FAN
position.
