Ashby-MF Insert

2. Add one cup of
Starter
Pellets
to the burn pot (using pellets to start the unit is approved). Do not try to
start your stove with corn or other small grains; Grain is difficult to start. Add a generous amount of
starter gel to the pellets.
4. Close the door and push the On/Off button on the control board. (
See figure 17 on page 29)
5. Set the controls to Heat Level #1
6.
Once the Proof of Fire switch locks in and the Power Light quits blinking, adjust the heat level to
the desired level.
The Ignition Cycle works as follows:
a.
The Combustion Fan comes on at high speed and the control board checks to make sure
the Vacuum switch locks in. (See section on Diagnostic features on page 37 and 38)
b.
If the Control Board senses the Vacuum switch the Exhaust Fan drops to a lower start up speed
and the Room Fan shuts off.
c.
After 5 minutes the board starts feeding Fuel on the #1 setting until the board senses Proof of Fire
or until the ignition cycle times out after 15 minutes.
d.
If the board fails to sense P.O.F. after 15 minutes it will shut down and flashes the #3 alarm.
e.
If the board senses P.O.F. the Igniter shuts off and the stove has started successfully and
the unit will enter “Normal Operation Mode”.
If the board still fails to sense the Proof of Fire switch the Stove will go into “Safety Shutdown”
and Flash the #3 LED. (See section on Diagnostic Features on page 37 and 38.) If this happens,
repeat the Start-Up process.
CAUTION: NEVER ADD FIRE STARTER TO A HOT
STOVE.
Shutting the Unit Off
1.
Press the On/Off switch once; the lights will go off and the fire will go out in a few minutes.
The board essentially goes into “Safety shutdown”.
2.
As long as the temperature within the Ashby-MF remains above 110°F the both Fans will
continue to run. When the P.O.F. switch drops out, the room fan shuts of and the Combustion fan
will run for another 10 minutes and finally shut down completely.
NEVER unplug the insert to shut it off. Doing so may cause smoke to enter the room.
Importance of proper Draft
Do not neglect to
adjust the Combustion Air Damper during the break in period of your new
Stove
(See Figure 19).
Your Stove is equipped with an air inlet damper. The purpose of this
damper is to adjust combustion airflow to match the characteristic of each specific air inlet and
chimney configuration. See figure 20 for initial damper settings for your fuel. The damper will
most likely only need a small adjustment during the break-in period. Break-in requires the
burning 15 bags of fuel or a continuous burn for two weeks.
