Stove Operating Controls - Whitfield ADVANTAGE PLUS Owner's Manual & Operating Instructions

Stove Operating Controls

Start Switch — The push-button START switch activates the convection blower
and the combustion blower. If the exhaust does not reach operating tempera-
ture within 30 minutes, the stove will automatically shut down. The blowers
can be restarted by pushing the START switch again.
Auger On/Off Switch — The AUGER ON/OFF switch activates the fuel feed
(auger) motor only. The START switch has to be activated to give power to the
AUGER ON/OFF SWITCH. When the AUGER ON/OFF SWITCH switch is
turned off, the fuel feed will stop and the blowers will continue to operate
until the stove has cooled down sufficiently (up to 45 minutes); then the stove
blowers will automatically turn off.
Heat Output Switch — When on manual operation, the HEAT OUTPUT switch
provides the ability to burn at five burn rates. Pressing the heat output switch
will increase the setting by one position. (After setting #5 it will revert to #1).
The HEAT OUTPUT switch alters the fuel feed rate and the combustion air
supply simultaneously. The control is preset to provide the optimum ratio of
fuel and air at each setting.
Thermostat Operation —While on thermostat operation, the stove operates
under two settings. There is a "pilot"(low) setting and a "demand"
(high) setting. If your thermostat senses the room heat to be higher
than your selected temperature, the thermostat will set the stove to the
"pilot"or low setting. This is equivalent to physically setting the stove on
HEAT OUTPUT setting #1. If your room temperature is lower than the select
ed thermostat temperature, the thermostat will operate the stove at the HEAT
OUTPUT switch setting you have manually selected. Use a HEAT OUTPUT
switch setting from #2 through #5. The heat output light will flash on and off
during thermostat operation.
Auger "On"Light — The red light on the control panel indicates that there is
power to the auger motor. Under normal operation, this light will blink
on and off.
Blower Speed Switch — This button on the control panel controls the
speed of the convection fan. Turning up the fan will increase the amount of
heat into the room. For the best efficiency use the maximum blower speed when high heat output
settings are used. The control will limit the blower settings to 2 & 3 at heat output settings 4 & 5 respectively.
In other words,when heat output is set to 5, the blower will scroll through speeds 3, 4 and 5.
Combustion Fan Trim — The Combustion Fan Trim is located just above the Heat Output Selector switch.
Turning the Trim Control counterclockwise will decrease the amount of combustion air entering the burn
grate. Turning the control clockwise will increase the amount of combustion air entering the burn grate. The
Trim Control is factory set at the (0) position.
Auger Trim Control — The Auger Trim Control is located just above the AUGER ON/OFFf switch. Turning the
Trim Control counterclockwise will decrease the amount of fuel delivered to the burn grate. Turning the con
trol clockwise will increase the amount of fuel delivered to the burn grate. The trim control is factory set at
the (0) position.
Convection Fan Trim — The convection fan trim is located on the backside of the control panel. This can be
used to eliminate fan noise by trimming fan speed slightly above or below a noise band. It can also increase
air circulation velocity on #5 setting if required.
NOTE: It is recommended that the damper be used to fine tune your stove to your particular fuel & installa
tion, (see page 8). It is also recommeded that you contact your Whitfield Dealer before adjusting the combus
tion, convection or auger trim controls.
