FUEL SELECTION
Proper fuel selection is critical. Your stove requires 1/4"
diameter wood pellets. The pellets must be specifically
manufactured for use pellet heaters. Use of fuel non-
conforming fuel will cause the stove to operate erratically.
Additionally, a low ash content of below 1% is will reduce
your cleaning and maintenance time. Store pellets in a
clean dry area. Do not use pellets that have been damp or
have a moisture level above 5%.
The quality of pellet fuel varies from brand to brand. This
will affect the efficiency of your heater. We suggest that
you try several brands until you find one that gives you a
clean efficient burn. Poor quality pellets will burn rich with
black soot and ash will accumulate quickly. Quality pellets
will burn clean and ash build up will be minimal.
AUTOLITE OPERATION
Your EASYFIRE Pellet Stove is equipped with the
Autolite Automatic ignition and operating system.
The AutoLite system is integrated into the stove to allow
for automatic start up using a heating element located in
the burn pot. This element starts the initial fire required to
burn the wood pellets. The system operates on 120VAC
power supplied through a separate fuse and runs for five
minutes during the initial stove start up. After the five
minute period the AutoLite system is deactivated and the
stove operates based on the EasyFire digital control system
requirements. If the house AC power should quit, the
AutoLite system will not be available however, with the
optional battery attached the stove can be manually lit and
operate on battery power for several days (depending on
battery size).
START-UP AND OPERATION
Priming the feed system
When the stove has run out of fuel the feed systems
requires several start and stop cycles to charge the auger.
Pushing the Low button from Off will start the feed for 90
seconds. When the feed stops cycle to Off then back to Low
for another 90 seconds. When pellets begin to fall in the
burn pot switch to Off. You are now ready to start the stove.
1. AutoLite Start-Up:
Prior to operating your AutoLite stove, make sure the hopper
is full of wood pellets and the interior components have been
installed properly including; burn screen & pot, heat
exchange covers, and ash drawer.
IMPORTANT: The Fire Pot must be seated flush and
must sit even in the pot tray. Air leaking around the Fire Pot
will create a poor burn (Figure 3). Light the pellets in Fire
Pot using any approved pellet lighter.
Note: Caution must be taken when installing burn pot or
operating door not to damage ceramic glass. Do not
attempt to operate heater if glass becomes damaged in
any way!
2. AutoLite Control Functions: Control functions on the
Easyfire are as follows: OFF, FAN, LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH,
CLEAN. Here is how each function works:
A. When the Control Button is turned to FAN, a timer is
activated and you will have about twenty (20) minutes to
get the pellets lit and reach a minimum temperature.
This function is used for match lighting when the AC
power is out.
Should the pellets not light in 20 minutes simply turn the
button to OFF and begin again. This will give you
another cycle to get the pellets lit. The reason for the
timer function is so that the heater will automatically shut
down if the fire goes out. Pellets do not feed in the FAN
position.
