Note: Caution must be taken when installing burn pot
or operating door not to damage ceramic glass. Do not
attempt to operate heater if glass becomes damaged in
any way!
2. Control Functions: Control functions on the Easyfire
are as follows: OFF, FAN, LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH, CLEAN.
Here is how each function works:
A. When the Control is set to FAN, a timer is activated
and you will have about ten (10) minutes to get the
pellets lit and reach a minimum temperature.
Should the pellets not light in the 10 minutes simply turn
the knob to OFF and begin again. This will give you
another 10 minutes to get the pellets lit. The reason for
the timer function is so that the heater will automatically
shut down if the fire goes out. Pellets do not feed in the
FAN position.
B. In the LOW position, the EASYFIRE will be feeding
approximately 1 to 1½ lbs. of pellets per hour and the
flame will fluctuate between 1" and 6" in height.
C. In the MEDIUM position the EASYFIRE will be
feeding approximately three (3) pounds of pellets per
hour and the flame will fluctuate between 3" and 8" of
fire.
D. In the HIGH position the EASYFIRE will be feeding
approximately 4 lbs. per hour and the flame will
fluctuate between 3" and a full flame. The fan speed
will increase accordingly as the heater automatically
adjusts itself based on temperature inside the heater
(see G below).
E. The CLEAN position is to be used only when the
heater is not burning and you wish to clean out the
accumulated ash in the front of the fire area. See
CLEAN OUT section of maintenance instructions.
F. After the heater is running for several hours and you
wish to turn it off simply turn the knob to OFF. The
heater will continue running until it cools down
and then will automatically shut itself down.
G. REMEM BER: Each feed position will fluctuate
because the microprocessor is automatically
adjusting the feed and air based on temperature. This
means the pellet feed rate and flame height will
change accordingly based on quality of pellet and
heat loss of dwelling.
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE
CAUTION: Moving parts may cause injury, DO NOT
operate with rear cover removed.
WARNING: Risk of electrical shock, disconnect all power
before servicing.
ALWAYS TURN YOUR Heater OFF & LET IT COOL
BEFORE CLEANING.
Your EASYFIRE Pellet Heater requires routine
maintenance for maximum performance and is mandatory
for the warranty to remain in effect.
The following procedures should be studied carefully and
performed regularly as indicated:
1. Fly-ash: Some ash will accumulate in the heat
exchanger, Fire Pot and flue and should be cleaned out
on a regular basis for best efficiency and safety. When
the heater is shut down and cold, you should:
a. Open door and remove Heat Exchanger Cover. To
remove, simply slide up and out from retaining angle
bracket (Figure 12). Clean one side at a time. W ith
one slide cover removed, leave door open and turn
control knob to the "CLEAN" position. Let heater run
until ash in Fire Pot area is vacuumed out by heater
fan. Turn off and replace cover. Remove remaining
cover and repeat procedure for the other side. The
vent pipe should be cleaned out after this procedure.
Remove the clean-out port cover (Figure 13) and
vacuum as required.
b. Remove Fire Pot by lifting up and out, it may be
brushed out or vacuumed. Fire Pot should be
cleaned daily. Make sure holes in pot are not
clogged. The area around and below the pot should
be checked every five or six days depending on how
many hours a day you are burning your heater and
the quality of the pellets being burned. (After a few
days you will be able to determine the frequency
needed for clean out.)
The important thing to remember is that excessive Fly-
ash accumulation will affect the efficiency of the burn.
c. Scrape pellet feed chute with putty knife to remove
hardened material on which sawdust can
accumulate.
