August 3, 2018 7080-163D 11MT. VERNON E2-CFigure 11.1Performance• Higher ash content requires the ash drawer to beemptied more frequently• Hardwoods require more air to burn properly• Premium wood pellets produce the highest heat output.• Burning pellets longer than 1-1/2 inches (38mm) cancause an inconsistent fuel feed rate and/or missedignitions.We recommend that you buy fuel in multi-ton lots wheneverpossible. However, we do recommend trying variousbrands before purchasing multi-ton lots to ensure yoursatisfaction.Changing to Different Fuel Type• Empty the hopper of the previous fuel• Thoroughly vacuum hopper before filling with the newfuelThe burn rate, BTU content and heat output will all varydepending on the fuel selected.Storage• Wood pellets should be left in their original sealed baguntil using to prevent moisture absorption.• This will also prevent rodents from becoming aproblem.• Do not store any pellet fuel within the clearancerequirements or in an area that would hinder routinecleaning and maintenance.G. User Dial ControlThe appliance has one dial control located on the side ofthe unit (behind a drop door) used for changing the heatsetting and restarting the appliance. There are five heatsettings on this dial ranging to include: LOW, MED-LOW,MED, MED-HIGH, and HIGH. Figure 11.1Turn the dial control to the desired heat setting and turn theappliance ON and OFF using the thermostat.0-1-2-3-4+1+2+3+4ALARMONHEATSETTINGHEATSETTINGOFF HILOE. Before Your First Fire1. First, make sure your appliance has been properlyinstalled and that all safety requirements have beenmet. Pay particular attention to the fire protection,venting and thermostat installation instructions.2. Double check that the ash drawer and firebox areempty!3. Close the front door.IMPORTANT DETAIL: THE TIP OF THETHERMOCOUPLE MUST BE IN CONTACT WITH THEINSIDE END OF THE THERMOCOUPLE COVER ORMISSED IGNITIONS CAN OCCUR.F. Filling the HopperOpen the hopper lid by lifting the handle. Fill the hopperwith fuel. Close the hopper lid. The unit will not feed withthe hopper lid open and the fire will go out.H. Normal Startup SequenceThe unit will go into the ignition sequence followed by astart up sequence (the green LED will flash rapidly).The ignition sequence involves the exhaust blower andigniter turning on, and the feed motor running in two stages.The first stage involves the feed motor running continuouslyfor about a minute to start loading pellets into the fire pot.In the second stage, the feed motor will begin cycling onand off.When the pellets are warming - on the verge of igniting - itis not uncommon for the firebox to fill with smoke.Once ignition happens, the smoke should quicklydisappear. During this stage, as well as any part during theburn process, the front door should not be opened.This startup cycle continues until the unit senses ignitionby a rise in the exhaust temperature or the unit times out.Following the ignition cycle the unit continues to feedpellets to build up the fire.After warming up, the convection blower will begin to blowwarm air into the room. As the appliance increases heatthe blower will increase its output.I. Fire CharacteristicsA properly adjusted fire with the heat output control switchset on “high” has a short active flame pattern that extendsout of the fire pot approximately 4 inches (102mm). If thefire has tall flames with black tails and seems somewhatlazy, the feed rate will need to be reduced. This is doneby sliding the fuel adjustment control rod down, which willreduce the feed. If the fire is not 4 inches (102mm) tall,slide the fuel adjustment control rod up to increase thefeed. A medium and low setting will give a shorter flame.The flame will rise and fall somewhat. This is normal.f i r e - p a r t s . c o m
