AUTOMATIC FEATURES
A. THERMOSTAT OPTION:
When using a thermostat, set the stove to one of the medium or higher settings. The stove will
burn at the rate selected on demand by the thermostat (medium or high).
When the room temperature drops below the thermostat setting, the thermostat will close, allowing
the stove to operate at the medium or higher settings. When the room temperature matches the
thermostat setting, the thermostat switch will open, allowing the stove to operate at the low
setting.
B. THERMOSTAT EQUIPMENT REQUIRED (optional):
A low voltage millivolt thermostat that will automatically switch between an open and closed
position. Type CL2 thermostat wire – 20 AWG, 2 conductors
C. STOVE PRESSURE SENSOR:
A blocked flue, a down draft, open door, or failure to clean the 3” exhaust in the stove can cause
the pressure switch to shut off the fuel feed. To resume operation, it is necessary to locate the
cause and correct it. Restart the stove following the instructions in this manual.
D. HIGH TEMP THERMODISK:
If the stove overheats, it will shut itself down safely. The stove may not be restarted until it has
cooled and the reset button is depressed. (see page 16)
E. SELF-IGNITER:
Automatically ignites the pellets within 3-5 minutes, without the use of fire starter. (AC power
mode only) The igniter will continue to run for approximately 10 minutes until a fire is
established.
F. PROOF OF FIRE THERMODISK:
If the temperature required by the PROOF OF FIRE thermodisk is not hot enough within the 10
minute cycle, the auger will stop feeding pellets.
G. COOL DOWN SENSOR:
After the power switch has been moved to the “Off” position, the blowers will continue to run for
approximately 15 minutes. The cool down sensor will allow the stove to cool down and then
automatically shut itself off. If the hopper runs out of pellets and the stove cools off, the auger
will stop feeding. However, the blowers will continue to run until the power switch has been
moved to the “Off” position.
H. 12 VOLT BATTERY BACK-UP:
Essex pellet stoves are designed to operate on a 12 volt DC battery for extended back-up periods.
This system may be used in conjunction with 12 volt solar systems. When used with a solar panel,
refer to the wiring diagram in this manual.
