2. Control Functions: Control functions on the Easyfire
are as follows: OFF, FAN, LOW , MEDIUM, HIGH,
CLEAN. Here is how each function works:
A. W hen the Control Knob is turned to FAN, a tim er is
activated and you will have about ten (10) m inutes to
get the pellets lit and reach a m inim um tem perature.
Should the pellets not light in the 10 m inutes sim ply
turn the knob to OFF and begin again. This will give
you another 10 m inutes to get the pellets lit. The
reason for the tim er function is so that the heater will
autom atically shut down if the fire goes out. Pellets do
not feed in the FAN position.
B. In the LOW position, the EASYFIRE will be feeding
approxim ately 1 to 1½ lbs. of pellets per hour and the
flam e will fluctuate between 1" and 6" in height.
C. In the M EDIUM position the EASYFIRE will be feeding
approxim ately three (3) pounds of pellets per hour and
the flam e will fluctuate between 3" and 8" of fire.
D. In the HIGH position the EASYFIRE will be feeding
approxim ately 4.5 lbs. per hour and the flam e will
fluctuate between 3" and a full flam e. The fan speed
will increase accordingly as the heater autom atically
adjusts itself based on tem perature inside the heater
(see G below).
E. The CLEAN position is to be used only when the
heater is not burning and you wish to clean out the
accum ulated ash in the front of the fire area. See
CLEAN OUT section of m aintenance instructions.
F. After the heater is running for several hours and you
wish to turn it off sim ply turn the knob to OFF. The
heater w ill continue running until it cools dow n
and then will automatically shut itself dow n.
G. REM EM BER: Each feed position will fluctuate
because the m icroprocessor is autom atically adjusting
the feed and air based on tem perature. This m eans
the pellet feed rate and flam e height will change
accordingly based on quality of pellet and heat loss of
dwelling.
DISPOSAL OF ASHES
To dum p ash from firebox, m ove lever to left several tim es
allowing spring to return against stop (Figure 10 & 11).
Once ash box is full, box should be placed in a non-
com bustible floor or on the ground, well away from all
com bustible m aterials pending final disposal. If the ashes
are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally
dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container
until all cinders have been thoroughly cooled.
OPTIONAL 12V HOOK-UP & OPERATION
1. The EASYFIRE 12V back up can be purchased as an
option and includes the following com ponents:
a. Deep cycle sealed 12V battery.
b. Battery connector cables for hook-up to the heater.
2. In order to hook-up the battery and engage the 12V
backup system sim ply connect red cable to red term inal
on the heater (see Figure 6) and to positive connector
on battery [the term inal m arked (+)] and connect the
black cable to the black term inal on the heater and to
the negative connector on the battery (the term inal
m arked (-). If you hook up the cables backwards the red
LED light above the term inal receptacles will com e on. If
hooked up properly this LED will glow green.
W ARNING - M AKE SURE RED CABLE GOES TO RED
TERM INAL (POSITIVE CONNECTOR) AND BLACK
CABLE GOES TO BLACK TERM INAL (NEGATIVE
CONNECTOR).
3. If you decide to purchase your own 12V back up system
we recom m end a sealed gel cell battery. Failure to
install the proper battery could cause physical harm to
you and your property and will also void the heater
warranty.
4. W hen the battery is properly connected and the heater
plugged in, the following will happen autom atically:
a. The heater will autom atically switch to 12V power 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 m axim um perform ance.
5. If you choose to separate the battery from the heater by
lengthening the cables you m ust m ake sure that the
cable wire used will carry the current to the heater. For
exam ple, if the distance is 10 to 20 feet then 12 gauge
wire m ust be used. Check with your local electrical
professional to m ake sure you have used the proper
gauge wire/cable.
