OPERATION PROPER FUEL THIS STOVE IS APPROVED FOR BURNING PELLETIZED WOOD FUEL ONLY! Factory-approved pellets are those 1/4” or 5/16” in diameter and approximately 1” long. Longer or thicker pellets sometimes bridge the auger flights, which prevents proper pellet feed. Burning wood in forms other than pellets is not permitted. It will violate the building codes for which the stove has been approved and will void all warranties.
UNIT CONTROLS The blowers and automatic fuel supply are controlled from the panel on the HYBRID-35. The control panel functions are as follows: Note: 1- To display the available functions, just touch the control board at any place 2- Select the desired function *The display will turn itself off after 2 minutes. MODE BUTTON • When the on-off button is pressed, the stove will automatically ignite. The heat level must be selected manually to adjust the stove’s heat output to the desired level.
COMBEXtm Your stove uses a unique patented technology called COMBEX. As opposed to most other pellet stoves, which use only an exhaust blower, your HYBRID-35 uses a motor on which are mounted two housings with impeller blades. One housing serves for combustion, and the other for exhaust. This is why we refer to the combustion/exhaust blower throughout this manual.
SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE Turning your OSBURN stove off is a matter of pressing on the control panel. The blowers will continue to operate until internal firebox temperatures have fallen to a preset level. The stove cannot restart before it has completely shut down. SAFETY FEATURES a. Your stove is equipped with a manual reset high temperature switch (also called heat sensor or heat switch). The switch has a reset button on its backside.
OPERATING THE STOVE USING A THERMOSTAT A thermostat will help you maintain a constant house temperature automatically. A millivolt or 24 Volt thermostat is required. A fixed wall mount or remote model can be used. THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION • • • Unplug the stove from the power outlet. Connect two thermostat wires to the terminal block located on the lower right side of the back of the stove. To do so, loosen the two screws and insert the wires in the terminals. Tighten the two screws.
OPERATING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS PLEASE READ THIS! a. If you notice a smoldering fire (burnpot full but no visible flame) AND a heavy smoke buildup in firebox, immediately TURN OFF the stove, but DO NOT unplug it. Do not open the door, change the damper setting or tamper with any controls on the stove. Wait until smoke inside the firebox clears and blowers shut down. Do as instructed in “PRE-START-UP CHECK” and “LIGHTHING PROCEDURE”, then attempt to restart the fire.
MAINTENANCE FAILURE TO CLEAN AND MAINTAIN THIS UNIT AS INDICATED CAN RESULT IN POOR PERFORMANCE AND SAFETY HAZARDS. NEVER CLEAN WHEN HOT. NOTE: Inspect burn pot periodically to see that holes have not become plugged. If so, clean thoroughly. BAFFLE ASH REMOVAL The HYBRID-35 stove has an ash drawer located under the firebox (not available for insert installation*). To remove ashes: a. Make sure fire is out and the firebox is cool. b. Open the door and remove the baffle from the firebox.
VACCUM USE If a vacuum is used to clean your stove, we suggest using a vacuum designed for ashes. Some regular vacuums and shop vacs leak ash into the room. Your vacuum or shop vac may have a special filter or bag available to eliminate this leakage. CLEANING a. b. c. d. Heat Exchange Tubes – Your HYBRID-35 stove is designed with a built-in heat exchanger tube cleaner. This should be used weekly to remove accumulated ash on the tubes.
BLOWERS AND PRESSURE SWITCH PROBE PROBE CONNECTOR DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE SERVICING UNIT. • • Blower Cleaning – Over a period of time, ashes or dust may collect on the blades of both the combustion/exhaust blower and convection blower. Periodically, the blowers should be cleaned as the ash and dust can impede performance. The combustion/exhaust blower can be accessed by opening the left, right, and back panels.
TROUBLESHOOTING When your stove acts abnormally, the first reaction is to get help. This guide may save you time and money by enabling you to resolve simple problems yourself. Problems can be caused by: 1) poor fuel; 2) poor operation or maintenance; 3) poor installation; 4) component failure; 5) factory defect. You can usually solve problems related to 1 and 2. Your dealer can solve problems related to 3, 4 and 5.
STOVE SHUTS OFF AND SHOWS ERROR CODE “E” Possible Causes: Possible Remedies: (Unplug stove first when possible) 1. The hopper is empty. Refill the hopper. 2. The burn pot holes are blocked. Remove the burn pot and clean it thoroughly. 3. The air damper is too far open for a low feed setting. If burning on the low setting, you may need to close the damper all the way slide the air supply toward the minimum setting. 4. The air inlet, the interior chambers, or exhaust system has a partial blockage.
STOVE FEEDS PELLETS, BUT WILL NOT IGNITE AND SHOWS ERROR CODE “L” Possible Causes: Possible Remedies: 1. Air damper open too far for ignition. Adjust the air supply toward the minimum setting for startup. In some situations, it may be necessary to have the damper completely closed for ignition to take place. After there is a flame, the damper can then be adjusted for the desired feed setting. 2. Blockage in igniter tube or inlet for igniter tube. Remove the burn pot and clean it thoroughly.
STOVE STOPS FEEDING PELLETS AND SHOWS ERROR CODE “H” Possible Causes: Possible Remedies: 1. The L-250 automatic high temperature switch is located on the auger housing top and bottom It will send a signal to the control board if the auger housing overheats. Wait until the stove cools down. YOU NEED TO INSPECT YOUR UNIT AT THIS POINT. There might be a problem with another component or the installation, causing the stove to overheat. Reset the stove and restart it.
GLASS SOOTS UP VERY FAST FLAME IS LAZY, DARK, AND HAS BLACK TIPS AFTER STOVE HAS BEEN ON FOR A WHILE, THE BURNPOT OVERFILLS Possible Causes: Possible Remedies: 1. Stove or vent pipe is clogged, which restricts airflow through the burn pot. Follow all cleaning procedure in the maintenance section of the owner’s manual. 2. Vent pipe installed improperly. Check to make sure the vent pipe has been installed according to the instructions in the owner’s manual. 3.
