9.2 How Reload Button Works
The furnace is equipped with a backlit reload button located at the front. To optimize
combustion during ignition and reloading, it is necessary to press the reload button. When
you press the button, it will flash rapidly three times. Automatically the combustion air supply
will be increased to its maximum, thus the ignition of the charge and the recharge will be
facilitated.
The button indicator light indicates the status of your furnace according to the thermostatic
demand and the available heat. See the table below for details of each state.
Led button states
Meaning
Furnace status
Light is ON
The thermostat calls for heat and
there is heat available in the
combustion chamber.
Maximum energy:
The furnace goes to maximum
burn rate and attempts to provide maximum heat
while maintaining clean and efficient combustion.
The fan blows at normal speed.
Light is OFF
The furnace is cold. (Does not
consider the state of the
thermostat)
Low energy:
The furnace is cold; it needs to be lit with
paper and kindling to provide heat.
Light blinking slowly (1.5
second per blink)
The thermostat does not call for
heat and there is heat available in
the combustion chamber.
Energy saving:
The furnace burns to a minimum burn
rate and distributes as little heat as possible through
the distribution air ducts to save wood by maintaining
clean and efficient combustion. The fan cycles to
remove excess heat.
Light blinking quickly (5
blinks per second):
The furnace has reached its
maximum temperature.
Thermal protection:
The furnace control system
reduces to minimum the supply of combustion air. If
firebox maximum temperature is reached, fan will
blow at normal speed. If plenum maximum
temperature is reached, fan will blow at maximum
speed.
