Figure 13
Prior to stove operating on thermostat, confirm proper
operation by servicing and adjusting the stove as
outlined in the “Installation Guide”. When servicing
stove, operate with thermostat bypassed as stove will
reset to start up mode each time thermostat is
activated.

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.
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 press the button 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.
3. Starting the Stove: Push a Heat Range button (Low or
Medium is best for start up) (Figure 13) and turn the
thermostat up to “Call for heat”. The stove fan will begin to
operate along with the ignitor cycle. After about a minute
the pellets will begin to fall in the burn pot. After five
minutes there will be a fire in the burn pot and the stove
will begin to heat up. When the stove reaches start up
operating temperature it will then switch to the control
panel setting and begin it’s automatic operation cycle.
Feed Trim Adjustment
Underneath the control button you will find a small round
button that will turn forward and reverse. This button can
adjust the feed motor in the LOW operating position. 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. Factory setting is 9:00 o’clock.
Once the stove is at operating temperature for one hour
set the stove on LOW. Adjust the trim button so that
average flame is approx. 1-2" above the burn pot. This
will set the average feed rate (air/flue) for best
operation.
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. If this setting is to low the
stove may go out during LOW setting operations. If this
should happen increase the trim by small amount.
MATCH LIGHT FIRE AND START-UP
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 60 LBS. OF
PELLETS.
Open the top lid and fill the hopper with pellets (Figure 11).
Make sure hopper lid is fully closed. Open the front door
and fill the burn pot with a hand full of pellets.
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 14). Light the pellets in Fire
Pot using any approved pellet fuel starter.
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. When 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
