Starting Your First Fire; Fire Characteristics - Heatilator ECO-NZ-PS35 Owner's Manual

H. Starting Your First Fire
1. Make sure the hopper is full of pellets and the ON/
OFF switch is in the OFF position. Plug the fire
into a power socket
2. When powered up the exhaust blower will stay on
for approximately 18 minutes even though there is
no call for heat. This is normal.
3. Locate the heat output control switch mounted on
the back of the appliance in the upper left corner
("Figure 2" on page 9) .
4. Turn it to the "high" setting by pushing the top of
the control switch in.
5. Turn the fire on using the On/Off switch
6. Look through the hole in the left lower side panel
and you will see the red call light on the control
box will be on.("Figure 5"). This indicates there is a
call for heat.
7. The fuel feed system and the igniter should now
be on.
8. For your first fire it will be necessary to press the

fill the feed system and allow the appliance to
begin dropping pellets. Or you can put a handful of
pellets in the firepot to speed up the process. The
appliance will continue to run as long as there is a
call for heat.
9. Once the appliance has ignited, let it burn for
approximately 15 minutes. For commissioning the
installer/technician will then need to set the draft
on the fire (see "Reference Materials" on page
31) You can now adjust the heat output control
switch to the desired setting.
I. Fire Characteristics
A properly adjusted fire with the heat output control switch
set on "high" has a short active flame pattern that extends
out of the firepot approximately 102 to 203mm. The flame
will rise and fall somewhat. This is normal.
If the fire has tall flames with black tails and seems
somewhat lazy, this indicated insufficient air for the volume
of fuel being burnt. Check the fire is clean, the air intake is
clear and seals are intact.
