Mt. Vernon Pellet Stove (AE)
1. Start-Up Cycle
During this cycle:
• Igniter turns on for 90 seconds to heat up the air in the
repot
• Combustion blower starts
• Vacuum switch comes on
• Feed motor turns on adding fuel to the repot and the
appliance waits for the re to start
The duration of start-up depends on the type and quality
of fuel used. It is normal to see some smoke during the
ignition process as moisture evaporates and the fuel lights.
The smoke will stop once the re starts.
K. Ignition Cycles
The appliance engine is controlled by the digital thermostat
wall control. The digital display on the wall control will tell
you what your appliance is doing in the upper left corner
(System Status). Figure 27.1.

2. Soft Start Cycle (SS-Low / SS-Med)
Once the re is lit:
• The appliance moves into the low soft-start cycle as it
continues to build the re
• More fuel will be added
• As the re builds, the appliance will change to medium
soft-start mode
• The heating cycle begins
3. Heating Cycle ( Auto / Man - L, ML, M, MH, H)
There are two choices in the Automatic / Manual menu of
how your appliance will operate:
Automatic Mode
• The wall
control will turn the heat output level up or down
depending on how far the room temperature is from the
desired temperature
• The digital display will read AUTO:M, i.e. automatic-me-
dium level
• As the room temperature approaches the desired tem-
perature, the appliance will turn down to lower settings
• When the home reaches your set temperature, the appli-
ance will go into the shutdown cycle
Manual Mode
• Set the heat output setting from the main screen
• The right bottom button will read HEAT OUTPUT
• You can operate the appliance from any of the 5 levels
• On
the lowest level (MAN: L) the appliance will stay on
longer, burn less fuel per hour, and will take longer to
bring the home up to your desired temperature
• On the highest
setting (MAN:H) the appliance will burn
more fuel per hour, and bring your home up to tempera-
ture more quickly
•
In Manual mode the heat output does not change but
will stay at the setting you chose until the comfort level
is reached (meaning the thermostat has been satised).
Turn to OFF to stop operation.
4. Shutdown Cycle
Once your home has reached your set temperature:
• Appliance will stop feeding fuel and allow the re to dimin-
ish
• Convection blower will continue to run until the appliance
cools to appropriate temperature
• Appliance will begin the auto-clean cycle
