• The 25-EP will perform equally well using softwood and hardwood pellets, and
although the ash may differ slightly in appearance or texture, both types of
pellets will burn cleanly and efficiently in this stove.
• The 25-EP is equipped with an automatic pellet ignition system; the only user
input required to light the stove is a simple press of the “On” button.
• Shortly after pressing the “On” button, the letters “S U” will appear in the heat
range and blower speed windows of the control board. This indicates the stove
has entered the start-up sequence and is operating normally.
• The fuel feed rate and combustion air during start-up is determined by the
control board, so the stove may be started on any heat range, although we
recommend starting the stove on Heat Range 5, to help ensure a strong fire is
initiated.
• After approximately fifteen minutes, the fire should be burning brightly and the
“S U” should disappear from the control board. At this point, the stove has
begun normal operation and the display windows on the control board will
remain empty, unless the Heat Range or Blower Speed is adjusted.
Daily Operation Notes
• Only high quality, ¼” (.25 in.) diameter wood pellets, should be used in this
stove. Using low grade wood pellets with high ash content can cause the
burnpot to fill with ash at a more rapid pace and can cause intervals between
periodic maintenance to become significantly shorter. Please read the
“Maintenance” section of this manual thoroughly to understand how fuel
selection affects stove operation, maintenance and cleaning.
• Variation in the flame height is normal, not all wood fuel is uniform in size,
which can affect the way pellets are fed into the burnpot. Although the flame
height may increase and decrease during operation, the temperature of the
exhaust gas remains relatively constant and there is no loss of efficiency.
CAUTION
NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE,
CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR “FRESHEN UP”
A FIRE IN THIS HEATER. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM THE
HEATER WHILE IN USE. ADDITIONALLY, NEVER APPLY FIRE-STARTER TO ANY
HOT SURFACE OR EMBERS IN THE STOVE.
