UNIT ELECTRIC CONNECTIONS
Rou te th e pow er supp ly cord fro m low er righ t sid e of un it
to a gro un de d th ree prong 120V AC rec ep tac le. C are sho uld
be taken to mak e sure the fireplace and hearth does not
pinch or otherwise damage the cord.
OPTIONAL 12V HOOK-UP & OPERATION
1. The EASYFIRE 12V back up can be purchased as an
option and includes the following components:
a. Dee p cycle sealed 12V batter y.
b. Battery connector cables for ho ok-up to the he ater.
2. In order to hook-up the battery and engage the 12V
backup system sim ply connect red cable to red terminal
on the heater (see Figure 6) and to positive connector on
battery [the terminal marked (+)] and connect the black
cable to the black terminal on the heater and to the
negative connector on the battery (the terminal marked
(-). If you hook up the cables backwards the red LED
light above the term inal rec epta cles will com e on . If
hooked up properly this LED will glow green.
WARNING - MAKE SURE RED CABLE GOES TO RED
TERMINAL (POSITIVE CONNECTOR) AND BLACK
CABLE GOES TO BLACK TERM INAL (NEGATIVE
CO NN ECT OR ).
3. If you decide to purchase your own 12V back up system
we rec om m en d a sealed gel cell batte ry. Failure to insta ll
the proper battery could cause physical harm to you and
you r prop erty an d w ill also void the heate r warranty.
4. W hen the battery is properly connected and the heater
plugg ed in, th e fo llow ing will hap pe n auto m atic ally:
a. The heate r will autom atic ally switc h to 12V p ow er if
there is a power failure, and switch back when power
is restored.
b. The battery will be trickle charged as long as the
heater is plugged into 110 AC wall outlet. Do not use
extension cords. The trickle charge will not recharge
a low or dead battery but it will keep a charged
battery at maximum performance.
5. If you choose to separate the battery from the heater by
lengthening the cables you must m ake sure that the
cable wire used will carry the current to the heater. For
example, if the distance is 10 to 20 feet then 12 gauge
wire must be used. Check with your local electrical
professional to mak e sure you have used the proper
gauge wire/cable.
a. Unplug he ater from wall outlet and 12V DC power!
b. Mount millivolt style remote receiver box to rear of
stove using double-sided tape.
b. Rem ove factory jump wire and hook up thermostat
wires to terminals (Figure 7).
d. Re con nec t AC pow er an d follow instructions with
remote thermostat regarding set up.
CANADIAN REQUIREMENTS
If this unit is being installed in Canada, the following
add itional req uirem ents m ust b e m ean t:
1. A chimney connector shall no pass through and attic or
roof space , closet or similar concealed spa ce, or a floor,
or ceiling.
2. W here a chimney passage through a wall, or partition of
co m bu stib le con struc tion is des ired, th e insta llatio n sha ll
conform the CAN/CSA-B365.
3. Maintain an effective vapour ba rrier at the location where
the chimney or other component penetrates to the
exterior of the structure by sealing with high temp erature
silicone.
4. Clearance to combustibles may only be reduced by
m ea ns approved by th e re gu lato ry au tho rity.
5. Store pellet fuels in a dry area away from unit. Do not
store fuels within the space heater installation clearances
or within the space required for charging and ash
rem oval.
6. Adequ ate ventilation air is required to operate this heater.
During operation the heater draws air for combustion
which can be assisted by the installation of outside
combustion air inlets. However, certain weather
conditions such as icing or use of kitchen exhaust fans
m ay im pa ct a nd red uc e th e effe ctiven es s of ve nts . It is
im po rtant to note th at roo m air s tarvation we ll nega tively

AUTOLITE OPERATION
Your EA SYF IRE Pellet S tove is equ ipped with th e Au tolite
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 elem ent 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 hou se AC powe r sho uld quit, the A uto Lite sys tem 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, refer to the
EasyFire installation ma nual).
Th e m ost e ffec tive insta llation of th e Ea syFire Auto Lite
Stove is to connect the unit to a thermostat. This can be
acc om plishe d us ing a s tand ard w all therm osta t or a re m ote
control thermostat. A remote control thermostat can be
purchased from your local dealer and installed in a few
minutes. This will allow the stove to start and shut down
whe n the re is a call for h eat.
If your house power is out the AutoLite system will not be
able to start the s tove whe n the therm osta t calls fo r hea t.
However if the stove is operating when the power goes out
the stove will not shut down operating on the backup
battery. Your EasyFire will turn down to low when the
thermostat calls for shut down and then turn up to the
setting on the control panel when the thermostat calls for
heat. A true back up heat source!
