Stove Maintenance - Buffalo B100 Owner's Installation And Operation Manual

the current room temperature (this will ensure
that the stove will not go into a start-up
sequence). The exhaust motor will turn on.
Once the exhaust motor has turned on, open
the burn chamber door. Light the pellets by
reaching through the log with long wooden
match, handheld igniter or by some other
means taking care to keep your hands
sufficiently away from the flame which will
quickly spread across the surface of the
pellets.
Push closed, but do not latch, the burn
chamber door to provide the flame the
appropriate amount of air to establish a sound
fire in the burn pot. If the flame drops down
to a point that it looks like it is going to go out,
the burn chamber door has been closed too
far, open the burn chamber door slightly so
the fire continues to burn. Keeping the door
pushed closed, but not latched, watch the fire
until the pellets are clearly burning (3 to 4
minutes). Once the flame is established and
it is obvious that the pellets (not just the
starter gel) are burning, fully close the burn
chamber door by locking the door latch. If it
appears that the fire is in jeopardy of going
out, it is too soon to latch the burn chamber
door, unlatch the door and continue to
monitor the fire until it again appears that the
fire is well established and again try latching
the burn chamber door closed.
Continue to watch the pellets until 90% of the
pellets are fully engulfed in flames or have
become burning embers, glowing orange
(approximately 7 to 9 minutes from the time
the pellets were initially lit). Once 90% of the
pellets are completely burning or have turned
into glowing embers, bring the stove set point
temperature up to at least 4 degrees above
the current room temperature. This will
initiate a start up sequence. The stove will
indicate that it is going through a start-up
sequence by alternately showing the current
room temperature, then Su (Start-up) on the
display. From this point, the manual start-up
sequence will take between 11 and 16
minutes to complete.
Note: If the stove has been started manually
due to a faulty failed igniter, the stove must
be operated in User Control (manual) mode
until repairs are completed.

STOVE MAINTENANCE

By far the most important factor in obtaining
cost-effective, efficient, reliable heat from
your pellet-burning appliance is performing
regularly scheduled routine maintenance on
your stove. The cleaner you keep the
appliance, the better it will perform. Burning
wood pellets is an inexpensive way to
provide supplemental heat to your home,
however, burning any wood product requires
regular maintenance of the heating
appliance. The trade-off of having an
inexpensive, renewable energy heat source
in your home, is taking what amounts to a
few hours a month to maintain the integrity of
the heat source by performing specific
cleaning tasks.
Daily and/or Bi-weekly Stove Maintenance
• Shut down stove and let it cool a
minimum of 60 minutes.
• Once stove has cooled for 60 minutes,
toggle the on/off toggle switch to the
off position.
• Unplug the power cord from the back
of the stove.
