Eco-65 Installation and Operation Manual

• THE STOVE WILL NOT OPERATE DURING A POWER OUTAGE. IF AN OUTAGE

DOES OCCUR, CHECK THE STOVE FOR SMOKE SPILLAGE. OPENING A WINDOW

WILL PREVENT NEGATIVE PRESSURE AND SMOKE SPILLAGE IN THE ROOM.

• DO NOT UNPLUG THE STOVE IF YOU SUSPECT IT IS MALFUNCTIONING. TURN IT

OFF, MONITOR IT AND CALL YOUR DEALER IF NECESSARY.

• THIS STOVE IS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE THE OPTIMUM PROPORTIONS OF FUEL

AND AIR TO THE FIRE IN ORDER TO BURN FREE OF SMOKE AND SOOT. ANY

BLOCKAGE OF THE AIR SUPPLY TO OR FROM THE STOVE WILL SERIOUSLY

DECREASE ITS PERFORMANCE AND WILL BE EVIDENT BY A SMOKING

EXHAUST, A SOOT BUILDUP ON THE WINDOW AND ON OUTSIDE WALLS. FOR

BEST OPERATION, THE ASH CONTENT OF THE PELLET FUEL SHOULD BE LESS

THAN 1% AND THE CALORIFIC VALUE APPROXIMATELY 8,500 BTU/LB. OTHERS

FUELS WITH A HIGH ASH CONTENT WILL REQUIRE A HIGHER LEVEL OF

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING.

• THE STOVE WILL NOT OPERATE USING NATURAL DRAFT OR WITHOUT A POWER

SOURCE TO ACTIVATE THE BLOWER SYSTEMS AND FUEL FEED SYSTEM.

• STOVE BUILDER INTERNATIONAL INC. GRANTS NO WARRANTY, IMPLIED OR

STATED, FOR IMPROPER INSTALLATION OR LACK OF MAINTENANCE OF YOUR

• IF YOU NOTICE A SMOLDERING FIRE (BURNPOT FULL BUT NO VISIBLE FLAME)

AND A HEAVY SMOKE BUILDUP IN FIREBOX, IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF THE

STOVE, BUT DO NOT UNPLUG IT. DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR OR THE HOPPER LID.

MAKE SURE THAT THE FRESH AIR INTAKE SHUTTER WORKS FREELY. WAIT

STOVE. IF THE PROBLEM PERSISTS, CONTACT YOUR DEALER. NOTE THAT

SMOKE BUILD-UP DURING IGNITION MAY OCCUR. SMOKE CAN ACCUMULATE IN

THE FIREBOX FOR A FEW SECONDS JUST BEFORE THE IGNITOR IS HOT

ENOUGH TO FIRE-UP THE PELLETS IN THE BURN POT. THIS IS NORMAL. AS

SOON AS THERE IS FIRE IN THE BURN POT, SMOKE WILL DISAPPEAR.

• MAINTAIN PROPER VENTILATION. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT ADEQUATE OXYGEN IS

BEING SUPPLIED TO THE FIRE FOR PROPER COMBUSTION. DURING THE

WINTER SEASON, MAKE SURE THAT THE FRESH AIR INTAKE IS FREE OF ANY

ICE, SNOW, ETC., AS THIS WILL STARVE THE FIRE OF AIR AND PREVENT THE

PROPER OPERATION OF THE STOVE. MAKE SURE THE FRESH AIR INTAKE

BACKDRAFT SHUTTER WORKS FREELY.

• OPERATING YOUR STOVE AT THE MAXIMUM SETTING DURING A LONG PERIOD

OF TIME MAY REDUCE THE STOVE AND ITS COMPONENTS LIFE EXPECTANCY.
