heat exchanger hot before turning it to "LOW". You will
need to burn the heater for a few hours before deciding
which setting is best for your particular needs.
NOTE: CAUTION MUST BE TAKEN WHEN
INSTALLING BURN POT OR OPERATING DOOR NOT
TO DAMAGE CERAMIC GLASS. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
OPERATE HEATER IF GLASS BECOMES DAMAGED
IN ANY WAY!
CAUTION: BOTH THE MAIN DOOR AND THE ASH
DRAWER MUST BE PROPERLY ADJUSTED AND
FULLY CLOSED TO FORM AN AIR-TIGHT SEAL FOR
PROPER STOVE OPERATION. FAILURE TO SECURE
DOOR AND DRAWER MAY CAUSE OVER FEEDING
AND HIGH TEMPERATURE SHUT DOWNS.
DO NOT USE GRATES OR OTHER METHODS OF
SUPPORTING FUEL IN BURN POT OR INTERIOR OF
STOVE.
2. Control Functions:
Control functions on the Easyfire
are as follows: OFF, FAN, LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH,
CLEAN. Here is how each function works:
A.
When the Control Knob is turned to
FAN
, a timer is
activated and you will have about ten (10) minutes to
get the pellets lit and reach a minimum temperature.
Should the pellets not light in the 10 minutes simply
turn the knob to
OFF
and begin again. This will give
you another 10 minutes 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.
B.
In the
LOW
position, the EASYFIRE will be feeding
approximately 1 to 1½ lbs. of pellets per hour and the
flame will fluctuate between 1" and 6" in height.
C.
In the
MEDIUM
position the EASYFIRE will be feeding
approximately three (3) pounds of pellets per hour and
the flame will fluctuate between 3" and 8" of fire.
D.
In the
HIGH
position the EASYFIRE will be feeding
approximately 4.5 lbs. per hour and the flame will
fluctuate between 3" and a full flame. The fan speed
will increase accordingly as the heater automatically
adjusts itself based on temperature 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
accumulated ash in the front of the fire area. See
CLEAN OUT
section of maintenance instructions.
F.
After the heater is running for several hours and you
wish to turn it off simply turn the knob to
OFF
.
The
heater will continue running until it cools down
and then will automatically shut itself down
.
G. REMEMBER:
Each feed position will fluctuate
because the microprocessor is automatically adjusting
the feed and air based on temperature. This means
the pellet feed rate and flame height will change
accordingly based on quality of pellet and heat loss of
dwelling.
DISPOSAL OF ASHES
To dump ash from firebox, move lever to left several times
allowing spring to return against stop
(Figure 10 & 11)
.
Once ash box is full, box should be placed in a non-
combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all
combustible materials pending final disposal. If the ashes
are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally
dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container
until all cinders have been thoroughly cooled.
OPTIONAL 12V HOOK-UP & OPERATION
1.
The EASYFIRE 12V back up can be purchased as an
option and includes the following components:
a.
Deep cycle sealed 12V battery.
b.
Battery connector cables for hook-up to the heater.
2.
In order to hook-up the battery and engage the 12V
backup system simply connect red cable to red terminal
on the heater
(see Figure 6)
and to positive connector
on battery [the terminal marked (+)] and connect the
black cable to the black terminal on the heater and to
the negative connector on the battery (the terminal
marked (-). If you hook up the cables backwards the red
LED light above the terminal receptacles will come on. If
hooked up properly this LED will glow green.
WARNING - MAKE SURE RED CABLE GOES TO RED
TERMINAL (POSITIVE CONNECTOR) AND BLACK
CABLE GOES TO BLACK TERMINAL (NEGATIVE
CONNECTOR).
3.
If you decide to purchase your own 12V back up system
we recommend a sealed gel cell battery. Failure to
install the proper battery could cause physical harm to
you and your property and will also void the heater
warranty.
4.
When the battery is properly connected and the heater
plugged in, the following will happen automatically:
a.
The heater will automatically switch to 12V power if
there is a power failure, and switch back when power
is restored.
b.
The battery will be trickle charged as long as the
heater is plugged into 110 AC wall outlet. Do not use
extension cords. The trickle charge will not recharge
a low or dead battery but it will keep a charged
battery at maximum performance.
5.
If you choose to separate the battery from the heater by
lengthening the cables you must make sure that the
cable wire used will carry the current to the heater. For
example, if the distance is 10 to 20 feet then 12 gauge
wire must be used. Check with your local electrical
professional to make sure you have used the proper
gauge wire/cable.
CANADIAN REQUIREMENTS
If this unit is being installed in Canada, the following
additional requirements must be meant:
1. A chimney connector shall no pass through and attic or
roof space, closet or similar concealed space, or a floor,
or ceiling.
2. Where a chimney passage through a wall, or partition of
combustible construction is desired, the installation shall
conform the CAN/CSA-B365.
3. Maintain an effective vapour barrier at the location
where the chimney or other component penetrates to the
exterior of the structure by sealing with high temperature
silicone.
