Page 13: Understanding Your Stove
Understanding your stove How your stove works Your pellet stove utilizes a inclined auger fuel feed system that is operated by a microprocessor controlled digital circuit board. The digital circuit board allows the inclined auger fuel feed system to run in a timer-based, non-continuous cycle; this cycling allows the auger to run for a predetermined period of seconds. The auger pushes pellets up a chute located at the front/bottom of the hopper which in turn falls through another chute into the burnpot. Your stove is equipped with an automatic ignition system that should ignite the fuel within 5-10 minutes from pressing the ON button. As pellets enter the burn pot and ignite, outside air is drawn across the fuel and heated during the combustion process which is then pulled through the heat exchanger by the exhaust motor or draft fan. As the stove heats up, room air is circulated around the heat exchanger by means of a room air blower, distributing warm air into the room. The amount of heat produced by the stove is proportional to the rate of the fuel that is burned, and this rate is controlled by the “HEAT RANGE” setting. In order to maintain combustion of the fuel at a desired rate, the air provided to the burn chamber by the exhaust or draft fan must be maintained precisely. Too little air will result in a flame that is non-energetic or lazy. If the fuel continues to flow with too little air for long enough, the burn pot will fill with too much fuel and the fire will smother out. To much air will result in a flame that is overactive or aggressive. The flame in this situation is typically very blue at the bottom and resembles a blow torch. If this situation continues, the fuel in the burn pot will be consumed and the fire will go out. Matching the amount of air required for proper combustion to the fuel rate is the primary objective in effectively burning pellets of various brands and qualities in your stove. The air to fuel ratio can be adjusted to allow almost any fuel quality to burn effectively by following the procedures detailed in the remainder of this manual. Because a forced draft pressure is required for the combustion process inside your stove, it is extremely important that the exhaust system be properly installed and maintained. And, that when operating your stove, you make sure that the viewing door is properly sealed. 4 Digit Display FIGURE 10 DIGITAL CONTROL PANEL Up / Down Buttons : Heat Range Room Fan Auto Mode Draft Fan... -
Page 14: Control Panel Overview
Control Panel Overview Turning the heater ON/OFF, as well as adjustments for the fuel feed rate and room fan speed are performed by pressing the appropriate button(s) on the control panel which is located on the lower left-hand side of your heater. This unit can be changed between an automatic operation or a manual operation. The controller comes default in the automatic mode. • ON/OFF Pressing the “ON” button on the control panel will begin the start-up sequence for the heater. Fuel will begin to feed through the auger feed system then ignite after approximately 5 minutes. Pressing the “OFF” button on the control panel will cause the heater to enter its shut-down sequence. The fuel feed system will stop pulling fuel from the hopper and, once the fire goes out and the heater cools down, the fans will stop running. • HEAT RANGE Pressing the “Heat Range” arrows, up or down, will adjust the amount of fuel being delivered to the burnpot. • DRAFT FAN The draft fan (exhaust) will come on as soon as the “ON” button is pressed. The fan will automatically adjust its speed in accordance to the heat range setting. However, this speed can be manually operated by pressing the “Draft Fan” arrows up or down. “Draft Fan” when pressed, the display will show “Df-A”, which is automatic. Press the arrows again to adjust fan speed. When the heater is in the manual mode, the optional thermostat will not properly control the unit. When adjusting the Draft Fan setting, try only 1 setting above or below the heat setting. It is better to leave the stove in the automatic mode. • ROOM FAN The room fan will come on once the unit has reached operating temperature. By pressing the “Room Fan” buttons, the display will show “Rf-A” which is automatic or “Rf-1” through “Rf-9” for manual settings. In auto mode, the room fan’s speed will automatically be adjusted in accordance with the heat range setting. By pressing the “Room Fan” up arrow, you can adjust the fan speed setting up to “Rf-9”. The room fan must operate at a level greater than or equal to the heat range setting. • AUX - USED TO RETURN THE STOVE TO THE FACTORY SETTINGS To return the stove to it’s original factory settings, press and hold the AUX UP and AUX DOWN buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. • AUGER DELAY The “Auger Delay” button can be used to pause rotation of the Auger for approximately 1 minute. This can be cancelled by pressing the “ON” button. The “Auger Delay” is normally used only during the start up cycle to slow... -
Page 15: Operation
Operation UNIT PREPARATION After carefully unpacking and reading the instructions for installing your stove, you will need to perform the following steps: • Attach the included spring handle to the door handle by screwing it on in a respective location. • Attach the electrical cord to the back of the stove first; then plug it into a 110-volt outlet (an outlet surge protector is highly recommended). PERFORMING AN INITIAL TEST This test is used at the factory where the stoves are assembled to test the functionality of the control and the stove before the unit is shipped. To perform this test, press and hold the OFF and AUGER DELAY buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. To advance through the test, press any key unless otherwise noted in the test step. 1.) Exhaust Fan Output Test – The display will show “drft”. The exhaust fan is turned on full then reduced to a level just above the typical minimum pressure switch setting. The ON LED indicates whether the pressure sensor is detected. If the pressure switch is not detected, the fan ramps to full on for two seconds then returns to the previously established level if the pressure switch closes. If the Draft Fan Fuse is not blown and the fuse detection circuit is functioning, the Draft Fan LED will be lit and the other three top row LEDs will be off. 2.) Room Fan Output Test - The display will show “rfan”. The room fan is turned on full. If the Room Fan Fuse is not blown and the fuse detection circuit is functioning, the Room Fan LED will be lit and the other three top row LEDs will be off. 3.) Ignitor Output Test - The display will show “ignt”. The ignitor motor is turned on full. If the Ignitor (AUX) Fuse is not blown and the fuse detection circuit is functioning, the Aux LED will be lit and the other three top row LEDs will be off. 4.) Auger Output Test - The display will show “augr”. The auger motor is turned on full. If the Auger Fuse is not blown and the fuse detection circuit is functioning, the Heat Range LED will be lit and the other three top row LEDs will be off. 5.) Hopper Switch Test – The display will show “hppr”. The “ON” LED is lit. If the hopper switch is open (lid is open), the “HEAT RANGE” LED will turn on. If the lid is closed, the “HEAT RANGE” LED will be off. 6.) Thermostat Input Test – The display will show “stat”. If the thermostat input is closed, the ON LED will turn on, otherwise it will be off. 7.) Flue gas Thermistor Test – The display will show the flue gas temperature in degrees F. -
Page 16: Start-Up Procedure
Operation START-UP PROCEDURE DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO START THE FIRE - Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a fire in this stove. Keep all such liquids well away from the stove while it is in use. -
Page 17: Daily Operation
Operation DAILY OPERATION The hopper and stove top will be hot during operation; therefore, you should always use some type of hand protection when refueling your stove. Never place your hand near the auger while the stove is in operation. This unit should be filled when the hopper level drops below 3-inches. -
Page 18: Maintenance
Maintenance INTERIOR CHAMBERS Periodically remove and clean the burnpot and the area inside the burnpot housing. In particular it is advisable to clean out the holes in the burnpot to remove any build up that may prevent air from moving through the burn pot freely. Remove the two(2) plates on each side of the burnpot housing and clean out that rear chamber. If a vacuum is used to clean your stove, we suggest using a vacuum designed for ash removal. Some regular vacuum cleaner (i.e. shop vacs) may leak ash into the room. ASH DISPOSAL Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible 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. The container shall not be used for other trash or waste disposal. CHECK AND CLEAN THE HOPPER Check the hopper periodically to determine if there is any sawdust or pellets that are sticking to the hopper surface. Clean as needed. DOOR AND GLASS GASKETS Inspect the main door and glass window gaskets periodically. The main door may need to be removed to have frayed, broken, or compacted gaskets replaced by your authorized dealer. The glass gasket has a gap at the bottom for the airwash. BLOWER MOTORS Clean the air holes on the motors of both the exhaust and distribution blowers annually. Remove the exhaust blower from the exhaust duct and clean out the internal fan blades as part of your fall start-up. PAINTED SURFACES Painted surfaces may be wiped down with a damp cloth. If scratches appear, or you wish to renew your paint, contact your authorized dealer to obtain a can of suitable high-temperature paint. GLASS - Cleaning, Removal and Replacement of Broken Door Glass Cleaning - We recommend using a high quality glass cleaner. Should a build up of creosote or carbon accumulate, you may wish to use 000 steel wool and water to clean the glass. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners. DO NOT perform the cleaning while the glass is HOT. ,... -
