Zero Clearance Stove
The timer is factory set to run 1 ½ minutes every 10 minutes. The timer activates
the gear motor, which will cause the pusher bar to move in a reciprocating motion,
forcing coal onto grate.\
The timer has a large yellow wheel that makes 1 revolution every 30 minutes. Pins
can be inserted or removed from yellow wheel. Each pin equals about 15 seconds,
if needed, extra pins can be added to the present groups of pins or pins can be
inserted anywhere in yellow wheel.
This section ONLY pertains to periods when thermostat is not calling for heat. If
the fire goes out, you will have to add more pins to timer OR increase coal feed.
The burning coals should be the width of the grate and about 1 ½" to 2" in length.
If the burning coals get any less than 1 ½" the fire may go out. SOLUTION:
Increase coal feed.
A weak draft can also cause the fire to go out, if fire appears to be very dull, add as
many extra pins to timer as needed, until fire stays lit.
IF FIRE STAYS LIT, BUT STOVE IS TOO HOT
If convection blower cycles on and off often and produces too much heat, whether
the fire bed is too long or timer is running too long. If you reduce coal feed or
remove timer pins, do not make radical changes. Reduce coal feed 1 or 2 turns OR
remove 1 pin from timer. Then wait several hours before making any more
reductions. A sudden radical change may be too much and cause fire to go out.
Once the coal feed and timer are set and fire stays lit, without convection blower
running too much, it is usually not necessary to make any more changes.
