WARNING: - Risk of Fire.
-Do not operate with the Firebox door or Ash Removal doors open
-Do not store Fuel or other Combustible material within marked Installation Clearances.
-Inspect and Clean Flues and Chimneys regularly.
WARNING: Do not bypass the hopper lid switch. The auger can start at any time while the
Stove is running
,
this is a high torque motor that is capable of doing SERIOUS harm to
fingers. Keep fingers and other objects away from the auger.
When lighting your Stove for the first time the auger tube will be empty, it helps to hold the
Auger Button in until you hear fuel drop into the burn pot.
1. Make sure there are pellets in the hopper and the viewing door and ash pan door are closed.
2. Push the On/Off button on the control board. (
See figure 16 on page 27)
At this point all that needs to be done is to monitor the burn pot to make sure the stove starts up
properly. Once the On/Off button has been pushed the Ignition Cycle takes over.
The Ignition Cycle works as follows:
a.
The Combustion fan and Room fan come on at high speed and the control board checks
to make sure the Vacuum switch locks in. (See Diagnostic features on page 34 and 35
b.
If the board senses the Vacuum switch the Combustion fan drops to the #1 setting and the
Room fan shuts off.
c.
The Igniter and the Auger come on and feed for 1.5 minutes continuously and then
switches to the #1 feed setting for the remainder of the ignition cycle.
d.
The stove will typically light in the first 3 - 4 minutes. After 5 minutes the board checks
for “Proof of Fire”. Once 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 34.) 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-P remains above 110°F the Fans will continue
to run. When the P.O.F. switch drops out, the room fan shuts off and the Combustion fan will
run for another 10 minutes and finally shut down completely.
NEVER unplug the Stove to shut it off. Doing so may cause smoke to enter the room.
