Operation; Panel Controls - Breckwell The Big E Owner's Manual

PANEL CONTROLS (See Figure 12)
The blowers and automatic fuel supply are controlled from a panel on the left-hand side of the
BIG E. The control panel functions are a follows.
a. ON/OFF SWITCH
When pushed, the stove will automatically ignite. No other fi restarter is necessary. The ig-
niter will stay on for at least 10 and up to 15 minutes, depending on when Proof of Fire is
reached. The fi re should start in about 5 minutes.
The green light located above the ON/OFF button (in the ON/OFF box) will fl ash during the
ignition start-up period. (See Figure 12)
The Heat Level Advance is inoperable during the ignition start-up period. When the green
light continuously stays on, the Heat Level Advance can be adjusted to achieve the desired
heat output.
NOTE: If the stove has been shut off, and you want to re-start it while it is still warm, the "On/Off"
button must be held down for 2 seconds.
b. FUEL FEED SWITCH
When the "Fuel Feed" button is pushed and held down, the stove will feed pellets continu-
ously into the burnpot.
While the stove's auger system is feeding pellets, the green light (in the "Fuel Feed" box) will
be on. (See Figure 12)
CAUTION: DO NOT USE THIS CONTROL DURING NORMAL OPERATION BECAUSE IT COULD
SMOTHER THE FIRE AND LEAD TO A DANGEROUS SITUATION.
c. HIGH FAN SWITCH
The room air fan speed varies directly with the feed rate. The "High Fan" switch overrides
this variable speed function. It will set the room air blower speed to high at any feed rate
setting.
When the "High Fan" button is pushed, the room air fan will switch to its highest setting.
When this button is pushed again, the room air fan will return to its original setting based on
the Heat Level Advance setting.
RESET TRIM
Different sizes and quality pellet fuel may require adjustment of the "1" feed setting on the Heat Level Advance bar graph. This is usu-
ally a one-time adjustment based on the fuel you are using. The "Reset Trim" button, when adjusted, will allow for 3 different feed rate
settings for the #1 feed setting only. To adjust, simply push the "Reset Trim" button while the stove is operating at setting "1" and watch
the bar graph.
When the "1" & "3" light are illuminated on the bar graph, the low feed rate is at its "lowest" setting.
(approx. 0.9 pounds per hour)
When the "1" light is illuminated on the bar graph, the low feed rate is at its "normal" setting.
When the "1" & "4" lights are illuminated on the bar graph, the low feed rate is at its "highest" setting.
NOTE: When the stove is set on "1" the "Reset Trim" values will be shown in the Heat Level Advance bar graph. For example: if the "Reset
Trim" is set to its lowest setting every time the stove is set to low, the "1" and "3" lights will be illuminated on the bar graph.
e. HEAT LEVEL ADVANCE
This button, when pushed, will set the pellet feed rate, hence the heat output of your stove. The
levels of heat output will incrementally change on the bar graph starting from level "1" to "5."
NOTE: When dropping 3 or more heat level settings (4 to 1, or 5 to 2 or 1), push the "High Fan" button and allow the room air fan to run
at that setting for at least 5 minutes to prevent the stove from tripping the high temp thermodisc. If the high temp thermodisc does trip,
see "SAFETY FEATURES."
CAUTION: THE "5" SETTING IS DESIGNED FOR TEMPORARY USE ONLY. IF USED FOR EXTENDED PERIODS, IT CAN SHORT-
EN THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF THE UNITS COMPONENTS. AVOID USE AT THIS SETTING FOR MORE THAN ONE OR TWO
HOURS AT A TIME.
