LIGHTING THE STOVE
Before lighting the stove for the first time, make sure that
no shipping items have been left inside the ash pan, the
storage hopper, or inside the glass door fire box. The parlor
stove is now ready for operation. The sound you may
hear when beginning the start sequence is the exhaust
fan starting as soon as the ON key is pushed. It is normal
to see a small amount of smoke inside the stove during
the start cycle. If you see smoke in the room during this
starting time there is an unacceptable leak.
LIGHTING PROCEDURE:
• Plug the parlor stove into a standard household wall
receptacle. The TRI-X controller will light up and display
a sequence of power up messages.
• Fill the hopper with approved solid fuel.
• The first screen that you will see after the controller
completes the power up is [SELECT FUEL TYPE USE
MODE KEY].
• Press the MODE key until the desired fuel is displayed
on the screen.
• Pressing the AUX 1 key accepts the fuel type displayed.
After the AUX 1 key is pressed the screen will read
[LIGHT FIRE AND THE PUSH THE ON KEY].
• Fill the fire pot with about one cup of starting pellets or
wood pellets. If wood pellets are used, squirt about two
tablespoons of burn gel on the pellets.
Note: Cumberland Stove Works only approves burn
gel and starter pellets when lighting the parlor
stove.
• Light the material in the fire pot, close the door and push
the ON key.
• The screen will read [STARTUP CHECK EXHAUST
OFF] for a minimum of 15 seconds. If the doors are
sealed properly the message will change to [STARTUP
CHECK EXHAUST RUNNING]. When this message is
displayed it means the stove is in proper working order,
all of the doors are sealed and the flue gas is exiting. At
this time, the controller will begin the startup sequence.
The TEMP UP and TEMP DOWN keys can be pressed
to select level one through six (1-6). The level selected
during the startup sequence will be the level the stove
goes to after the startup sequence.
Note: If the hopper is empty when the stove is
started, the feed auger must be primed. Press and
hold the ADD FUEL key until fuel is seen dropping
into the fire pot. During the startup sequence fuel
can be manually fed into the pot by pressing the
ADD FUEL key at any time.
WARNING
NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN
FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR
SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR BUILD UP A FIRE IN
THIS HEATER. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY
FROM THE HEATER WHILE IT IS IN USE.
KEEP CHILDREN, CLOTHING AND FURNITURE AT A
SAFE DISTANCE FROM THE STOVE AT ALL TIMES.
CONTACT MAY CAUSE SKIN BURNS.
NEVER ADD ANY LIQUIDS TO A BURNING FIRE EXCEPT
WATER.
USING MORE THEN THE RECOMMENDED BURN
GEL AND/OR PELLETS MAY CAUSE AN OVERFIRED
FLAME.
CAUTION
IF SMOKE IS PRESENT IN THE ROOM DURING STARTUP,
THERE IS A LEAK IN THE SYSTEM. PRESS THE OFF
KEY, ALLOW THE FIRE TO BURN OUT, AND FIX THE
LEAK BEFORE CONTINUING. MOST LIKELY THE LEAK
IS IN THE EXHAUST PIPING. PLEASE REFER TO THE
VENTING INSTRUCTIONS ON PAGE 14 AND SEAL THE
VENT PIPE.
