RECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT:

and maintenance instructions you will need.

RECOMMENED: For your and your families protection and well being, Dansons’ highly recommends

• BEFORE installing or having the pellet appliance installed contact the local building officials to obtain the

necessary permits and information on any installation restrictions or inspection requ i rements in your area and notify your insurance company you have installed a pellet appliance.

• This unit must be properly installed to prevent the possibility of a house fire. The instructions and local building codes requirements must be strictly adhered to. Do not; use makeshift methods or material that may compromise the installation.

• When the pellet appliance is installed in a mobile home, the heater must be bolted to the floor, have outside air, and MUST NOT BE INSTALLED IN THE BEDROOM in accordance with the Manufactured Home and Safety Standard (H.U.D), CFR 3280, Part 24. Check with local building officials.

• NEVER try to repair or replace any part of the heater unless instructions for consumer are given in this manual or instructed by Dansons Customer Service Department. A trained technician should do all other work.

• Educate all children of the danger of a high-temperature heater. Young children should be supervised when they are in the same room as the heater.

• This heater is designed and approved for pelletized wood fuel, shelled corn, or wheat only. Any other type of fuel burned in this heater will void the warranty and safety listing. Keep foreign objects out of the hopper.

Read, save and follow the instructions in this manual. It contains important safety, operating

installing and maintaining both a smoke detector as well as a CO2 detector.

• NEVER use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a fire in this appliance. Keep all such liquids well away from the appliance while it is in use.

• This heater must be connected to a standard 115 V., 60 Hz 3-prong grounded electrical outlet in accordance with local building codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/ NFPA 70.

A grounded surge-protection unit is recommended.

• Do not use an adapter plug or sever the grounding prong on the electrical plug.

• Do not route the electrical cord underneath, in front of, or over the heater.

• Do not unplug the stove if you suspect a malfunction.

Push the “OFF” Touch Pad and inspect the heater.

• The heater will not operate during a power outage. If a power outage does occur, check the heater for smoke spillage and open a window if any smoke spills into the room.

• DO NOT operate the heater if you smell smoke coming from the heater. Push the “OFF” Touch Pad, monitor your pellet appliance, and call your local authorized dealer.

• Do not place clothing or other flammable items on or near the heater. When installed with a thermostat there is a possibility of the heater turning on and igniting any items placed on or near the unit.

Glow Boy Pellet & Biomass www.glowboystoves.com 4

• DO NOT operate the stove if the flame becomes dark and sooty or if the firepot overfills with pellets. Push

the OFF Touch Pad and inspect the heater. (See Operating Your Stove). Soot or creosote may accumulate in the exhaust vent system when the stove is operated under incorrect conditions such as an extremely rich burn. The flame will have a lazy orange color with black tips. This indicates poor pellet fuel combustion.

• NEVER block free airflow through the open vents of the unit. The viewing door and ash pan must be

closed and latched during operation.

• The pellet appliance exhaust system works with negative combustion chamber pressure and a positive

chimney pressure, therefore the exhaust system must be completely airtight and properly installed. All exhaust system vent joints must be sealed, gas tight, with HI-TEMP RTV silicone sealant, and/or at least 3 sheet metal screws per joint and to the heater also.

• Your heater requires periodic maintenance and cleaning (Refer to ”Routine Cleaning” sectio n of the

manual). Failure to maintain your heater may lead to smoke spillage in your home.

• Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet before performing any maintenance. Pushing ”OFF”

Touch Pad does not disconnect all power to the heater.

• BEFORE carrying out any maintenance or cleaning, allow the heater to cool. Ashes must be disposed in a

metal container with a tight lid and placed on a non-combustible surface or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal.

• The exhaust system should be checked twice a year minimum for any build-up of soot or

creosote. Do not touch the hot surfaces of the heater.

NOTE: Canadian Comfort Industries grants no warranty, implied or stated, for the installation or maintenance of your appliance, and assumes no responsibility of any consequential damage(s).

The operations and maintenance of your Glow Boy Series of multi-fuel appliance are unique and should not be considered to be like a wood, coal, gas, electric, propane or oil heater, stove or appliance.

OUR

PPLIANCE

ORKS

Cautions:

Do not try to operate your stove with viewing door open. Pellets will not feed under these circumstances and a safety concern may arise from sparks or fumes entering room.

If you are not drawing combustion air from outside, care must be taken to allow for adequate air make up, to avoid possible room air starvation when stove or other exhaust fans are in operation.

It is highly recommended that you install a high quality smoke detector as well as a carbon monoxide gas detector in the room where stove is installed. Care should be taken to make sure detectors are in working order at all times.

FUEL CONSIDERATIONS

Your Glow Boy Series of Multi-fuel appliance is designed to burn the following:

1. Wood pellets that comply with the Pellet Fuel Industries standards.

2. A combination of up to 50/50 Wood Pellet and Shelled Corn

3. 100% Shelled Corn or Grain, using the Multi—Fuel Grate, and manual start only, No Igniter.

Fuel in the form of wood pellets , shelled corn or grain is stored in the hopper. An auger delivers the pellets to the burn grate. The fuel rate, or heat output, is set by

Memory &

Fan Trim

as desiredas desired

efficiently over extended periods of time and at different heat output levels as long as the fuel supply is uninterrupted and timely cleaning and maintenance is preformed. An example of how improper cleaning effects operations is; the exhaust pressure switch will shut the pellet supply off and your stove will shut off if the exhaust system becomes plugged.

adjusting the feed rate touch pad, (settings 1 to 4). A fan provides combustion air to the burn grate. The amount of combustion air in the burn grate is adjustable and automatically changes as the fuel rate changes. The higher the fuel rate, the larger the amount of combustion air and visa versa. The fuel burns in the burn grate, producing heat. Some heat radiates out the front of your stove. The majority of the heat passes around the heat exchange tubes and air plenum around the firebox and is then moved into the room by the room air fan. A small amount of heat must pass out the exhaust of your stove, along with gases, into the atmosphere.

Your stove's heat output can be adjusted from setting 1-4, through the FEED RATE touch pad, to vary your heat output from Low to High. The room air fan can be manually adjusted through the FAN SPEED to run faster or slower to correspond to the amount of heat being produced. The room air fan is also on a limit switch, controlled to run on high when the stove reaches higher temperatures and then resume the speed you had selected once it cools to a lower temperature.

EATURES

L120 LOW LIMIT SWITCH

This limit switch is mounted on the exhaust blower housing and has 2 main functions:

Should the fire happen to go out, for any reason, this limit switch will shut the stove off when the exhaust

temperature drops below 120° F.

Upon starting the appliance, the AcuTron control board has a 15 minute “Lighting Mode”, if the stove

exhaust does not reach 120° F in that 15 minutes the stove will shut off. As soon as the stove exhaust does reach 120° F, the limit switch opens and the AcuTron enters a 5 minute “Safety Delay” mode.

F140 FAN LIMIT SWITCH

Your pellet appliance has a convection fan control limit switch. The room air fan's (F140) temperature limit snap switch automatically operates the fan on high when your stove is producing heat faster than the fan is carrying it into the room. This may occur when the heat control lever is set at [3 or 4] and the FAN SPEED is set to a very low or off setting. After the fan runs at this automatic high setting a few minutes, it may cycle back to its lower setting and may continue to cycle between [HIGH] and your selected setting. The circulation (room air) fan cycling from high to low is a normal condition as well as a safety feature of your appliance. To compensate for the fan cycling, adjust the FAN SPEED to a higher setting.

L250 HIGH LIMIT SWITCH

Your pellet appliance has a high temperature limit switch installed. If the temperature at the back of the firebox reaches approximately 250° F., the switch will shut off the electricity going to the Vacuum Switch and to the Auger Motor. The auger will automatically stop, and the appliance will shut down when the exhaust temperature cools (120° F). If this happens call your dealer or Dansons Customer Service (1-866-456-9269).

IT IS IMPORTANT TO FIND THE REASON WHY THE UNIT OVERHEATED.

VACUUM SWITCH

This safety device (mounted on the back panel pillar) detects vacuum in the exhaust system, firebox, and air intake. If the exhaust blower fails, the vent pipe becomes plugged, the viewing door is open, or if you are out of pellets, this switch will sense that there is a lack of vacuum and will stop the auger from continuing to feed pellets.

HOPPER LID SWITCH

This device is mounted inside the hopper.and is connected to the auger feed system.……

If the hopper lid is OPEN the switch

WILL STOP THE AUGER FEED SYSTEM. This is to prevent fingers,

clothing or other objects from coming in contact with the auger.

The auger is capable of causing serious injury and this switch MAY NOT be disconnected.
