H. Fire Characteristics
The overall height of the flame will vary throughout the
burn for a couple of reasons. First is that the flame will vary
based on type of fuel or even batch of fuel. Secondly, the
appliance adjusts the burn rate according to the how far
away the room temperature is from the set temperature.
This should not cause alarm. The third characteristic
that affects the fire relates to general maintenance and
cleaning. Infrequent or poor general maintenance will
result is poorer performance. Indicators of the need for
additional maintenance activities include a lazy flame,
black sooted glass, pellets not igniting, or pellets falling
to the side of the firepot. See the maintenance section for
additional information.
Odors, vapors, and smoke released during
initial operation.
•
Curing of high temperature paint.
•
Open windows for air circulation.
Odors may be irritating to sensitive individuals.
CAUTION
I. 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.
3. This blower transfers heat from your appliance into the
room, and will continue to run even after the unit has
shutdown. It will turn off after the exhaust temperature
has cooled.
4. Occasionally the appliance may run out of fuel and
shut itself down. When this happens the empty hopper
alarm will be triggered.
J. Running in Minimum or Maximum
When the dial control is set to run on the minimum or
maximum setting, the appliance will continue to run without
regard to the actual temperature in the room. The appliance
will shut off only if the dial control is set to a different setting
or there is an error such as an empty hopper.
When running on minimum or maximum it is important to
follow the daily cleaning activities especially cleaning the
firepot. Failure to do so will reduce the performance of
the appliance.
K. Running in the Automatic Mode
When the dial control is set to run in the automatic mode
the unit will adjust the actual burn rate based on the
difference between the room temperature as sensed by the
probe located in the rear of the unit and the desired comfort
level as set on the dial control.
The comfort level range is from 65 degrees Fahrenheit to
82 degrees Fahrenheit.
M. Clear Space
NOTICE:
Clearances may only be reduced by means
approved by the regulatory authority
having jurisdiction.
Mantel:
Avoid placing candles and other heat-sensitive
objects on mantel or hearth. Heat may damage
these objects.
WARNING!
RISK OF FIRE!
Do NOT place combustible objects in front or to the sides
of the appliance. High temperatures may ignite clothing,
furniture or draperies.
WARNING!
RISK OF FIRE!
Keep combustible materials, gasoline and other
flammable vapors and liquids clear of appliance.
•
Do NOT store flammable materials in the
appliance’s vicinity.
•
Do NOT use gasoline, lantern fuel, kerosene,
charcoal lighter fluid or similar liquids to start or
“freshen up” a fire in this heater.
Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is
in use as combustible materials may ignite.
L. Trim Adjustment
Trim adjustment is the small dial located below the main
dial control. Rotating this dial will adjust the air/fuel ratio
and below are examples of when to use it:
•
If the fire is too large, lazy or producing black soot,
rotate the dial counterclockwise one level at a time
and allow 15 minutes for stabilization before making
another adjustment
•
If your fire is too small and sometimes goes out
when there are pellets in the hopper, rotate the dial
clockwise one level at a time and allow 15 minutes for
stabilization before making another adjustment.
Once the desired comfort level is achieved the appliance
will automatically shut down and turn off. When the
temperature in the room drops 3 degrees below the desired
comfort level, the appliance will automatically restart.
