HEATILATOR ECO CHOICE
I. Fire Characteristics
A properly adjusted fire with the heat output control switch
set on “high” has a short active flame pattern that extends out
of the firepot approximately 4 to 8 inches (102 to 203mm).
If the fire has tall flames with black tails and seems somewhat
lazy, the feed rate will need to be reduced. This is done by
sliding the fuel adjustment control rod down, which will reduce
the feed.
Figure 10.2
.
If the fire is not 4 to 8 inches (102 to 203mm) tall, slide the
fuel adjustment control rod up to increase the feed. A medium
and low setting will give a shorter flame. The flame will rise
and fall somewhat. This is normal.
J. Feed Rate Adjustment Instructions
1. Loosen the thumb screw.
2. Pull the feed adjustment control rod up to increase the
feed rate and flame height or push down to decrease the
feed rate and flame height.
3. Re-tighten the thumb screw. A new stove has a break in
period. The fire characteristics should be checked again after
5 bags of pellets and adjustments made if necessary.

K. Ignition Cycles
1. At the beginning of each ignition cycle, it is normal to see
some smoke in the firebox. The smoke will stop once
the fire starts.
2. The convection blower will automatically turn on after your
appliance has been burning for approximately 10 minutes.
This blower transfers heat from your appliance into the
room, and will continue to run after the thermostat has
stopped calling for heat until the appliance has cooled
down.
3. Occasionally the appliance may run out of fuel and shut
itself down. When this happens, the red call light will be
on.
See Figure 9.3, page 9
.
To restart it, fill the hopper and press the reset button.
When you press the reset button the red call light will go
out. Release the button and the light will come back on.
Continue pushing the button once a minute until pellets
begin to fall into the firepot.
You should see a fire shortly. If not, follow the instructions
on
page 9
, for “Starting Your First Fire”.
