Mt. Vernon Pellet Insert (AE)
Size
•
Pellets are either 1/4 inch or 5/16 inch (6-8mm) in diameter
• Length should be no more that 1-1/2 inches (38mm)
• Pellet lengths can vary from lot to lot from the same
manufacturer
• Due to length variations, the flame height (feed rate)
may need adjusting occasionally. See page 27 for
instructions..
Performance
• Higher ash content requires the ash drawer to be emptied
more frequently
• Hardwoods require more air to burn properly
• Set wall control to “Utility Pellet” if the fi repot and ash pan
are fi lling quickly. This will cause the auto-clean system to
empty the fi repot more often.
• Premium wood pellets produce the highest heat output.
• Burning pellets longer than 1-1/2 inches (38mm) can cause
an inconsistent fuel feed rate and/or missed ignitions.
We recommend that you buy fuel in multi-ton lots whenever
possible. However, we do recommend trying various brands
before purchasing multi-ton lots to ensure your satisfaction.
Changing to Different Fuel Type
• Empty the hopper of the previous fuel
•
Thoroughly vacuum hopper before fi lling with the new
fuel
• Select the appropriate setting on the FUEL SELECTION
screen on the thermostat wall control
The burn rate, BTU content and heat output will all vary
depending on the fuel selected.
Storage
• Wood pellets should be left in their original sealed bag
until using to prevent moisture absorption.
• Shelled corn, wheat or sunfl ower seeds should be stored
in a tight container to prevent it from absorbing moisture
from damp or wet fl oors.
• This will also prevent rodents from becoming a problem
.
• Do not store any pellet fuel within the clearance
requirements or in an area that would hinder routine
cleaning and maintenance.
D. General Operating Information
1. Thermostat Wall Control - Automatic Setting
The appliance is like most modern furnaces; when the
thermostat wall control calls for heat, your appliance will
automatically light and deliver heat.
When the room is up to temperature and the wall control is
satisfi ed the appliance will shut down.
In the automatic setting the heat output level is controlled by
the wall control. Select “Automatic” on the AUTO/MANUAL
screen. Figure 26.1.
2. Thermostat Wall Control - Manual Setting
When you select “Manual” on the AUTO/MANUAL screen the
appliance will still automatically turn on and off according to
the temperature setting.
However, you will be able to manually control the heat output
levels. Adjust the heat output levels by using the HEAT
OUTPUT LEVEL screen. Figure 26.2.

3. Auto-Clean Firepot System
Your appliance is equipped with an automatic fi repot cleaning
system that will change the frequency of cleaning based on
the fuel being burned.
The auto-clean system will clean itself immediately on initial
plug in. If there is a power outage, as soon as power is
restored it will recycle and clean itself if there is no fi re in the
fi repot.
NOTE: User is responsible for removing the ash from the
ash drawer.
CAUTION! Tested and approved for wood pellets, shelled
fi eld corn, wheat and black oil sunfl ower seeds. Burning of
any other type of fuel voids your warranty.
