Osburn Stoves by SB I HYBRID-45 MF - Manual (Page 11)

PROPER FUEL
THIS STOVE IS APPROVED FOR BURNING PELLETIZED WOOD
FUEL ONLY! Factory-approved pellets are those ¼” or 5/16” in
diameter and not over 1” long. Longer or thicker pellets sometimes
bridge the auger flights, which prevents proper pellet feed. Burning
wood in forms other than pellets is not permitted. It will violate
the building codes for which the stove has been approved and
will void all warranties. The design incorporates automatic feed of
the pellet fuel into the fire at a carefully prescribed rate. Any
additional fuel introduced by hand will not increase heat output but
may seriously impair the stoves performance by generating
considerable smoke. Do not burn wet pellets. The stove’s
performance depends heavily on the quality of your pellet fuel.
Avoid pellet brands that display these characteristics:
a. Excess Fines – “Fines” is a term describing crushed pellets or
loose material that looks like sawdust or sand. Pellets can be
screened before being placed in hopper to remove most fines.
b. Binders – Some pellets are produced with materials to hold
them together, or “bind” them.
c. High ash content – Poor quality pellets will often create smoke
and dirty glass. They will create a need for more frequent
maintenance. You will have to empty the burn pot plus vacuum
the entire system more often. Poor quality pellets could
damage the auger. Osburn cannot accept responsibility for
damage due to poor quality pellets. Your dealer can
recommend a good quality pellet dealer in your area.
PRE-START-UP CHECK
Remove burn pot, making sure it is clean and none of the air holes
are plugged. Clean the firebox, and then reinstall burn pot. Clean
door glass if necessary (a dry cloth or paper towel is usually
sufficient). Never use abrasive cleaners on the glass or door. Check
fuel in the hopper, and refill if necessary.
NOTE: The Osburn Hybrid-45 MF Hopper can hold up to 70 lbs. of
pellets.
BUILDING A FIRE
Never use a grate or other means of supporting the fuel. Use only
the Osburn approved burn pot.
NOTE: During the first few fires, your stove will emit an odor and a
small amount of fumes as the high temperature paint cures or
becomes seasoned to the metal. Maintaining smaller fires will
minimize this. Avoid placing items on stovetop during this period
because paint could be affected. Make sure the room is well-
ventilated. Open windows. Odors and fumes released during
this process are unpleasant but they are not toxic.
LIGHTING PROCEDURE
a.
Fill hopper and clean burn pot.
b. Press “MODE” button to select the desired setting “MANUAL”
or ‘THERMOSTAT”
c. If the flame is too low in burn pot or the unit has difficulty to
light, reduce the air supply by turning the air supply control
knob toward the minimum setting. The knob is located on the
side of the unit. Once the fire is established, adjust the air
supply knob to the desired flame height.
d. Adjust feed rate to desired setting by pressing “-” or “+” button.
If fire doesn’t start in 30 minutes, refer to troubleshooting section.
UNIT CONTROLS (See Figure 15)
The blowers and automatic fuel supply are controlled from a panel
on the right-hand side of the Hybrid-45 MF. The control panel
functions are as follows.
