2.1 How to operate with a pellet stove?
Operating a pellet stove is not difficult, but it is a new technology that calls for basic knowledge. As everyone in the world knows that the oil in their car should be changed every 5,000 km in order to prolong the life of the engine, also all brands of pellet stoves have regular maintenance that needs to be performed. The manual contains important and detailed maintenance information that you should read and follow. For more details, please read the DISTRIBUTION CEO- PELLET STOVES MANUAL.
2.2 How does the pellet stove starts and how does it shutdown?
You have to first make sure that the hopper has pellets and that fuel is feeding into the burn pot, and then attempt start the stove by pushing the start button (On/OFF). . If startup fails then check carefully the feeding and attempt to restart the stove once again. Repeated failed lighting cycles indicate the need for maintenance or professional service.
Normal shutting down the stove is typically a matter of simply setting the control to the OFF position according to operating instructions. The fuel feed stops delivering fuel right away, and after the stove cools sufficiently, all motors and blowers cease operation.
Performance problems are more likely to be caused by neglected maintenance than by regular operation. Problems related to mechanical failure usually results in safety switches shutting the pellet stove down. Shutdown may, however, can be caused from empty hopper, improper startup or intermittent power failure. The stove should NOT be shut down by unplugging the power cord. Although fuel feed stops in a power outage, the pellets in the burn pot continue to burn for a few minutes. The resulting smoke and hot gases rise, seeking the path of least resistance. That’s way during installation is necessary to have vertical sections to provide natural draft. Unexplained, repeated appliance shutdowns call for professional advice and service.
2.3 What can I do when the glass become black and sooty?
When on the window of the stove appears soot, it’s a sign that there is not enough air in the system. In this case you have to adjust the air damper and then adjust the combustion fan.
