HI TEMP/FLUE AND TRIM INDICATORS:
W hen the Hi-Temp/Flue indicator light comes on (red lite
beneath control button) it means that the flue is obstructed
or you have a reverse draft and gases cannot exit properly.
Maintenance is required and a thorough cleaning and pipe
check must be performed.
TRIM button : Underneath the control button you will find a
small round button that will turn forward and reverse. This
button can control the feed motor in the LOW position only.
By turning the button clockwise you can increase the feed
on LOW and by turning it counterclockwise you can
decrease the feed in the LOW position.
Move this button carefully! It is designed to fine tune
your LOW setting in the event you change brands of pellets
and/or live at a higher elevation.
DC OPERATION - BUILDING A FIRE AND
START-UP
IMPORTANT (Gold Units Only): Gold is a soft metal and
therefore a fragile surface. Prior to the first burn it is important
to use W index™ or comparable product with a soft clean cloth
to wipe any marks off all gold surfaces.
If not cleaned prior to first burn, the heat may cause the marks
to remain in the surface permanently.
Always clean the gold surface when the heater is COOL.
1. Filling the Hopper and Start-Up:
CAUTION: Fuel hopper lid must be closed before
operating unit. Maintain hopper seal in good condition.
DO NOT OVERFILL HOPPER! The EASYFIRE will hold
about 35 lbs. to 50 lbs. of pellets depending on hopper
height.
Open the top lid and fill the hopper with pellets (Figure 9).
The quality of pellet fuel varies from brand to brand. This
will affect the efficiency of your heater. We suggest that you
try several brands until you find one that gives you a clean effi-
cient burn. Poor quality pellets will burn rich with black soot
and ash will accumulate quickly. Quality pellets will burn clean
and ash build up will be minimal.
Make sure hopper lid is fully closed. Open the front door.
Fill the Fire Pot with pellet fuel.
IMPORTANT: The Fire Pot must be seated flush and
must sit even in the pot tray. Air leaking around the Fire Pot
will create a poor burn (Figure 10). Light the pellets in Fire
Pot using any approved lighter fluid.
Allow pellets to burn for approximately 1 minute, or until
pellet ignition has been achieved. Close door and turn the
control knob to the "FAN" position. Allow fire to burn for
several minutes. W hen the pellets are well lit, turn the
control knob to "LOW" for approximately 10 minutes then
turn up to "HI". We recommend that you run the heater on
“Medium” or "HI" for about 30 minutes in order to get the
heat exchanger hot before turning it to "LOW ". You will
need to burn the heater for a few hours before deciding
which setting is best for your particular needs.
