When the “1” and “3” lights are illuminated on the bar graph the low feed rate is at its “lowest setting". (approx. 0.9 pounds per hour).
When the “1” light is illuminated on the bar graph the low feed rate is at its “normal” setting.
When the “1” & “4” lights are illuminated on the bar graph the low feed rate is at its “highest” setting.
NOTE:
When the stove is set on “1” the “reset trim” values will be shown on the Feed Rate Advance bar graph. For example if the
Reset Trim is set to low the “1” and “3” lights will be illuminated on the bar graph.
Heat Level Advance
This button when pushed will set the pellet feed rate, hence the heat output of your stove. The levels of heat output will incrementally
change on the bar graph starting from level “1” to “4”.
NOTE
: When dropping more than 2 heat level settings (i.e. 4 to 1) push the “High Fan” button and allow the room air fan to run
at that setting for at least 5 minutes to prevent the stove from tripping the high temp thermodisc. If the high temp thermodisc does
trip see “SAFETY FEATURES”.
Factory-approved pellets are those 1/4” or 5/16” in diameter and not over 1” long. Longer or thicker pellets sometimes bridge the
auger flights, which prevents proper pellet feed. Burning wood in forms other than pellets is not permitted. It will violate the building
codes for which the stove has been approved and will void all warranties. The design incorporates automatic feed of the pellet fuel
into the fire at a carefully prescribed rate. Any additional fuel introduced by hand will not increase heat output but may seriously
impair the stoves performance by generating considerable smoke. Do not burn wet pellets. The stove’s performance depends heavily
on the quality of your pellet fuel.
Avoid pellet brands that display these characteristics:
Excess Fines:
“Fines” is a term describing crushed pellets or loose material that looks like sawdust or sand. Pellets can be screened
before being placed in a hopper to remove most fines.
PROPER FUEL
Binders:
Some pellets are produced with materials to hold them together, or “bind” them.
High Ash Content:
Poor quality pellets will often create smoke and dirty glass. They will create a need for more frequent
maintenance. You will have to empty the burnpot plus vacuum the entire system more often. Poor quality pellets could damage
the auger. Bosca cannot accept responsibility for damage due to poor quality pellets. Your dealer can recommend a good quality
pellet dealer in your area.
OWNER´S MANUAL
-15-
THIS STOVE IS APPROVED FOR BURNING PELLETIZED WOOD FUEL ONLY
NOTE:
Bosca pellet stoves are equipped with a hopper safety switch, if hopper lid is open the auger will not drop pellet fuel. If the
hopper lid is left open for a prolonged period of time the unit will shut down.
Remove burnpot, making sure it is clean and none of the air holes are plugged. Clean the firebox, and then reinstall burnpot. Clean
door glass if necessary (a dry cloth or paper towel is usually sufficient). Never use abrasive cleaners on the glass or door. Check fuel
in the hopper, and refill if necessary. Make sure hopper lid id closed, If left open auger will not feed pellets.
PRE- START- UP CHECK
Never use a grate or other means of supporting the fuel. Use only the Bosca approved burnpot.
NOTE:
During the first few fires, your stove will emit an odor as the high temperature paint cures or becomes seasoned to the metal.
Maintaining smaller fires will minimize this. Avoid placing items on stovetop during this period because paint could be affected.
BUILDING A FIRE
Proper Fuel Storage:
Keep fuel raised off the floor and in a covered area to avoid moisture and water contact.
CAUTION: DO NOT PLACE FUEL WITHIN SPACE HEATER INSTALLATION OR
WITHIN THE SPACE REQUIRED FOR CHARGING AND ASH REMOVAL.
