Firepot Purge; Shutdown; Fire Characteristics; Your Pellet Appliance's General Operating Parts - Quadra-Fire TREKKERI-MBK Owner's Manual

I. Firepot Purge
Purpose: To help remove debris from the firepot and help
the unit burn as efficient as possible.
The frequency of the purge cycle is once every 30 minutes
while the unit is burning. During the firepot purge, the feed is
reduced to the lowest setting and the exhaust blower ramps
up to a very high setting. The purge cycle lasts 99 seconds.
The purge cycle does not replace daily cleaning.
HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. KEEP CHILDREN,
CLOTHING AND FURNITURE AWAY. CONTACT MAY
CAUSE SKIN BURNS.
J. Shutdown
shut the appliance down, turn the dial control to OFF or turn
the thermostat to OFF. During the shutdown process, the
light will flash amber or green rapidly.
Unlike the fire pot purge, during shutdown existing fuel in the
fire pot will continue to burn without the feed motor running;
but, the exhaust and convection blowers will remain on until
the exhaust has cooled.
NOTE: If maintenance or daily cleaning is going to be
conducted immediately following a shutdown, please use
caution as components especially those inside the firebox
may still be hot.
Due to safety precautions:
• If the dial control is turned to OFF and back on (even if by
mistake) the unit will go through the shutdown sequence
before restarting.
• Additionally, if the thermostat is turned to "OFF" during
operation the appliance will go through a shutdown
sequence before restarting.
NOTE: If maintenance or daily cleaning is going to be
conducted immediately following a shutdown, please
use caution as components especially those inside the
firebox may still be hot.
K. Fire Characteristics
The overall height of the flame will vary throughout the burn
for a couple of reasons:
1. The flame will vary based on type of fuel or batch of fuel.
2. The unit adjusts the burn rate according to the dial setting
– the further the dial is rotated clockwise the higher the
flame and consequently, heat output.
