Figure 18 Air box clean out, air damper adjustment
The EASYFIRE will automatically switch to 12 volt backup
provided you have the 12 volt option installed.
existing flue must be installed with a tee connector (Figure
3,4,& 5) to allow access to clean the ash from the pellet
vent pipe.
f. Fly-ash will accumulate below the burn pot. Remove
the air box clean out and depose of ash. Use care not
move air damper setting.
2. Hopper Clean Out: Vacuum the accumulated saw
dust in the hopper weekly. Keep free of debris and
foreign material. AN ACCUMULATION OF SAW
DUST CAN CAUSE IRREGULAR PELLET FEED. For
best results this should be done on a regular basis
depending upon how often the heater is used. If you
burn the heater all the time you should do this every
eight to ten days.
3. Cleaning the Exhaust Fan Blade & Heat Exchang-
er: The exhaust blower should be checked for
excessive fly ash buildup. Regular and routine mainte-
nance utilizing the CLEAN OUT feature will keep the
exhaust blower housing and fan blades clean. This
cleaning can only be done when the heater is NOT
burning. For best results run the fan in the CLEAN
OUT position with the door open for approximately
one minute or until ash is no longer being picked up by
the fan. Remember, you must always check the clean
out cap on the tee after utilizing the CLEAN OUT
feature.
4. Keeping the Glass Clean: If soot deposits
accumulate on the glass, clean with window glass
cleaner and a paper towel when the glass is cold.
5. Polishing the Gold and Chrome: All chrome and
gold plating used on the EASYFIRE heater can be
cleaned with a soft cloth and non-abrasive cleaner.
6. Cleaning & Polishing Gold Plated Parts: Gold is a
soft metal and therefore a fragile surface. Prior to the
first burn it is important to use W index or comparable
product and a soft clean cloth to wipe any marks off all
gold surfaces or the heat will cause the marks to
remain in the surface permanently. Always clean the
gold surface when the heater is COOL.
7. Door glass replacement: Should the door glass
become broken it may be replaced by scraping the
sealer from around the outer edge of the glass.
Carefully pry glass from door frame then clean all
sealer from frame. Obtain a replacement glass from
your local dealer and attach glass to door using High
Temperature Silcon Sealer (min. 400 deg.F). Apply
sealer to all four corners of the glass and set glass into
frame. Apply sealer to mating edge of glass and frame.
Allow two hours dry time before installing door onto
heater. Note: Replace with Pyro-Ceramic Glass only.
Refer to parts list for specifications.
TROUBLE-SHOOTING
The following scenarios are provided in order to help you
locate a difficulty if the heater performs in a manner which
would seem to indicate a malfunction:
l. Problem: I loaded the heater for start-up, lit the fire
starter and pellets but the fire didn't keep going.
Solution: Check power cord to see that it is plugged in.
Remember that the timer on start up runs about 10
minutes and if the heater has not heated up enough to
deactivate the timer you will have to start over by turning
the knob to off and then back to FAN or LOW.
2. Problem: The heater was lit and burning properly, then
suddenly it stopped feeding pellets.
Solution: a) Check pellet supply in hopper. If empty, fill
and follow start-up procedure as outlined in the
beginning of this manual. b) Occasionally, a foreign
object, debris or an excessive amount of sawdust can
enter the feed mechanism and jam the feed chute. If this
happens, you must empty the hopper and check the
feed chute to see what is causing the jam. Remove any
foreign material or object and re-start the heater.
CAUTION: Keep fingers and hands clear of feed
mechanism when heater is on.
3. Problem: The fire was burning well and then it began to
overfeed pellets and started backing up into the pellet
feed chute, smothering the fire.
Solution: When the pellets are overfeeding, it usually
means that the air flow has been reduced. Check the
firepot air intake holes to be sure they are clear. Check
to see if firepot was properly seated in pot tray. Check to
see if the manifold may have filled with fly ash. If you use
a low grade pellet, and clinkers (fused ash and dirt) form
in the bottom of the firepot, it will choke the air intake
(you might consider changing the brand of pellets to one
that burns cleaner). You must let the fire go out before
removing and cleaning the firepot.
Never vacuum out the heater when the heater is in
operation! The hot ashes can lodge in your vacuum
cleaner and cause a fire!
You must clean the manifold and air box regularly in
order to insure a good air to fuel ratio, thus allowing the
heater to "breathe" properly. You must also check the vent
pipe and tee to see that they are not clogged and full of ash.
4. Problem: Heater was burning well and then soot began
forming on the glass door.
Solution: Black soot forming on the glass door means
that the combustion is not right and the heater needs a
good clean out. Some brands of pellets burn much
richer than others and you might have to change brands
of pellets and/or have the air/fuel settings re-adjusted by
your dealer. It is normal to have the glass cloud up after
several hours of burning but it should wipe off with a
good window cleaner. If the glass turns black quickly,
then the heater needs a good clean out.
