1 Introduction

1.1 About Pellet Heating

Pellet stoves offer a dramatic improvement in the convenience of heating with solid fuel. Wood pellets are handled in bags and are therefore easily and cleanly stored. A single loading of a pellet stove can provide long hours of warmth. Pellet stoves also provide a special comfort associated with wood burning. The combination of fans delivering warm air currents and the direct comfort of radiant heat provides special satisfaction on a cold winter day. The heat provided is even and constant, due to the auto fuel feed responding to owner settings. Pellet stoves also offer strong environmental benefits; pellets not only reduce dependence on finite supplies of fossil fuels like oil and gas, but they also put to good use materials that would otherwise unnecessarily and expensively add to our waste disposal problems.

In addition, pellet stoves burn very cleanly and offer the lowest emissions of unwanted pollutants of all solid fuel burning appliances.

1.1.1 Top 10 Reasons for Buying a DC Pellet Stove

1) Works during power breakdown due to an optional battery system (see Appendix C:

Battery Holder kit (AC01452) and Optional 24V (2X 12V) battery kit (AC01454)).

2) Fuel is relatively cheap, easy to handle and store.

3) Installation is relatively inexpensive and flexible.

4) Can be thermostatically controlled.

5) Can run for long hours without the need to refuel.

6) Heat output is steady because fuel feed is regulated.

7) Provides powerful convection heat.

8) Has the lowest emissions of all solid fuels.

9) Reduces our dependence on fossil fuels.

10) Wood pellets are made of 100% residual matter (saw dust) and are a renewable fuel. This creates added-value from waste that would otherwise end up in a landfill.

4 Venting System

4.1 General

Even though the chimney draft is mechanical, a suitable venting system will ensure a natural draft which will prevent smoke spillage in your home if a power outage occurs. Moreover, a suitable venting system configuration will help getting the best efficiency out of your stove when installed in accordance with the required EVL (see Section 4.3 Equivalent Vent Length (EVL)).

Even the best stove will not function safely and efficiently as intended if it is not connected to a suitable venting system.

4.2 Recommendations

In Canada, we recommend that you use a listed pellet vent that meets the CAN/ULC S609 or ULC/ORD C441 Standard. A pellet vent listed to ULC S629M is also suitable for installation with this stove.

For the United States, we recommend that you use a listed pellet vent that meets the UL 641 Standard. A pellet vent listed to UL 103 is also suitable for installation with this stove.

This stove can be vented in an existing factory-built or masonry chimney with the addition of a stainless steel liner, provided the chimney is more than 4” in diameter. The liner should be listed and should meet the ULC S635 or CAN/ULC S640 standard in Canada and the UL 1777 standard in the USA. Refer to the instructions provided by the vent manufacturer, especially when passing through a wall, ceiling or roof.

Edison Installation and Operation Manual

4.3 Equivalent Vent Length (EVL)

Recommended venting system inner pipe diameter is 3”. Use a 4” pipe if you have more than 15 feet of Equivalent Vent Length (EVL).

To calculate the EVL of your installation, use the following conversions:

Qty

Type of pipe EVL equivalent(ft)

1 90° elbow or “T” 5

1 45° elbow 3 1 ft Horizontal pipe run 1 1 ft

Vertical pipe run 0.5

NOTE: Horizontal runs shall not exceed 9 feet. NOTE: Never exceed 30 feet of EVL.

Here is an example to help you calculate Equivalent Vent Length. On the following figure the EVL can be calculated like this:

• 2 horizontal run of 1’ = (2 X 1’) X 1’ = 2’ of EVL

• 1 elbow 90° or "Tee" = 5’ of EVL

• 3 vertical length of 4’ = (3 X 4’) X 0.5’ = 6’ of EVL

• Total EVL = (2’ + 5’ + 6’) = 13’.

NOTE: Do not include the exterior wall termination in the EVL calculation (45° elbow and termination).

Edison Installation and Operation Manual

For example, let’s imagine an installation consisting of a horizontal vent coming out at the back of the stove on a total distance of 8 feet. This horizontal run is followed by a tee and a 6-foot vertical rise. This type of installation is not acceptable. As you can see, the vent termination is clearly outside the allowed configuration zone on the chart because the venting system proposed does not have at least one foot of vertical rise for each foot of horizontal run.

Instead, if the installation consisted of a horizontal vent coming out at the back of the stove on a total distance of 4 feet, followed by a tee and a 6-foot vertical rise, it would be acceptable. The installation end should be within the allowable configuration zone on the chart since it would have at least one foot of vertical rise for each foot of horizontal run. Furthermore, the total vertical rise would be at least 3-foot high.

O.K.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of smoke spillage there should always be at least one foot of vertical rise for each foot of horizontal run. In all cases, at least 3 feet of vertical rise is needed.

4.4 Termination Location

Termination should not be located so that hot exhaust gases can be a hazard. They can reach temperatures of 500°F (260°C) and cause serious burns.

CAUTION: TERMINATION COLLAR (SPARK ARRESTER) IS MANDATORY.

Edison Installation and Operation Manual

5.1.2 Zone Heating and How to Make It Work for You

Your new pellet stove is a space heater, which means it is intended to heat the area it is installed in, as well as spaces that connect to that area, although to a lower temperature. This is called zone heating and it is an increasingly popular way to heat homes or spaces within homes.

Zone heating can be used to supplement another heating system by heating a particular space within a home, such as a basement family room or an addition that lacks another heat source.

Although the stove may be able to heat the main living areas of your house to an adequate temperature, this stove must serve as a supplementary heat source. You should have a conventional oil, gas or electric additional heating system to provide heating in the home. The manufacturer cannot be responsible for additional heating costs associated with the use of an alternative heat source in case of stove failure or power outage.

Your success with zone heating will depend on several factors: Proper stove size, stove location, heating area, house layout, insulation and your climate zone.

5.2 Combustible

5.2.1 Proper Fuel

Each type of pellet has its properties and will burn differently. The amount of ashes produced can also vary greatly. Conventional pellets are those ¼” or 5/16” in diameter and

not over 1” long. Longer or thicker pellets will prevent proper pellet feed.

For example, if the pellets are very short, they will have more ease to accumulate and pile into the feed screws. Thus, the volume of pellets will be denser, which will lead to an increase in BTU. By contrast, longer pellets will pile less so the BTU will be reduced.

The bottom-feed system of this stove is designed and tested specifically for use with wood pellets.

WARNING: BURNING OTHER TYPES OF PELLETS IS PROHIBITED. IT VIOLATES THE BUILDING CODES FOR WHICH THE STOVE HAS BEEN APPROVED AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY

Edison Installation and Operation Manual

5.2.2 Where to Store Bags of Pellets

We recommend that you store your bags of pellets in a dry and well ventilated area if possible. Using dry pellets will increase the performance of your stove. You may want to have a bag or two in the same room as your stove for refueling but make sure to respect the minimum clearances to combustible materials and the space required for refilling and ash removal.

To restore default setting, select “DEFAULT”.

6.1.7.2 COMBUSTION ADJUSTMENT (Fuel Quality Adjustment)

The “COMBUSTION ADJUSTMENT” will allow you to modify default settings by ± 2 for auger motor 1 and ± 10 for combustion and exhaust fan.

To restore default setting, select “DEFAULT”. Here are some situations where you may want to adjust these components:

Average speed of auger motor #1: You may want to increase the auger motor #1 speed if fire goes out when combustion

level is at its minimum setting. When burning poor quality pellets you may also need to reduce the auger motor speed to avoid unburned pellets to fall into the ash drawer at any combustion level.

Edison Installation and Operation Manual

Speed of combustion fan: You may want to reduce combustion fan speed if fire goes out when combustion level is at

minimum setting. You may also want to increase combustion fan speed to avoid unburned pellets to fall into the ash drawer at any combustion level.

Speed of exhaust fan: You may want to reduce exhaust fan speed if natural draft is excessive and/or if the flame

is low and almost at the same height at any combustion level. You may also want to increase the exhaust fan speed if vent configuration is too restrictive or flame height tends to be high at any combustion level.

7.5 Shutting Down Procedure

To turn your stove off, press the “ON/OFF” icon on the Main Status Page. The cooling cycle will take a few minutes. The exhaust blower and the burn pot auger will continue working for a few minutes while the stove is cooling down. Note it is possible to increase the exhaust blower’s stopping time (see Section 9.3.13: Smoke smell).

IMPORTANT: DO NOT DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD TO TURN OFF THE STOVE.

7.6 Signs of an Overheating Stove

Under normal conditions, the flame should have a bright yellow color and be very active, but stable. If you see the flame getting lazy, very high and orange, it may be a sign that there is something wrong. Usually, overheating issues are caused by too much restriction in the venting system, a blocked heat exchanger, a lack of combustion air or a lack of maintenance.

If this happens, your stove will become very hot. If the stove becomes too hot, “UNIT OVERHEAT” message will appear on the LCD touch screen. Before starting the stove again make sure the recommended maintenance has been done properly. Press the

“RESET” button and then press the “ON/OFF” icon on the Main Status Page. If a “UNIT OVERHEAT” message occurs twice, call you dealer. He will be able to give you some recommendations so this message won’t appear again.

WARNING: IF YOU CHOOSE A STOVE THAT IS TOO SMALL FOR YOUR HOUSE AND YOU NEED TO OPERATE IT AT THE MAXIMUM SETTING FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME, YOU MAY END UP OVERHEATING THE STOVE. THE STOVE AND ITS COMPONENTS LIFE EXPECTANCY WILL BE REDUCED.

WARNING: IF ANY EXTERNAL PART OF THE STOVE BEGINS TO GLOW RED, THE STOVE IS OVERHEATING. IMMEDIATELY TURN THE STOVE OFF. DO NOT UNPLUG IT AND DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR. UNPLUGING THE STOVE WILL DISABLE ALL THE SAFETY FEATURES OF THE STOVE.

8.1.6 Glass Care

Clean door glass when necessary. The use of a stove glass cleaner is recommended. Regular household glass cleaners will not remove creosote properly.

WARNING: NEVER USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS ON THE GLASS OR ON ANY PLATED PART.

WARNING: DO NOT CLEAN THE GLASS WHILE IT’S HOT. WARNING: DO NOT FORCE, STRIKE OR ADOPT ANY BEHAVIOUR THAT COULD

WEAKEN THE GLASS DOOR. WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE STOVE WITH THE GLASS REMOVED, CRACKED

OR BROKEN.

8.1.7 Replacement of Broken Door Glass

Carefully remove any loose pieces of glass from the doorframe. Dispose of all broken glass properly.

A broken glass must be replaced with an identical ROBAX (ceramic glass) 5 mm thick with the dimensions: 12 3/4" x 15". Contact your dealer to obtain a genuine replacement part. See Section 15: Replacement parts for part number.

WARNING: ALWAYS WEAR SUITABLE GLOVES WHILE HANDLING BROKEN GLASS.

WARNING: REPLACEMENT GLASS SHOULD ONLY BE PURCHASED FROM AN AUTHORIZED DEALER (SEE SECTION 15: REPLACEMENT PARTS). TEMPERED GLASS OR ORDINARY GLASS WILL NOT WITHSTAND THE HIGH TEMPERATURES OF THE STOVE.

WARNING: IF YOU HAVE TO CHANGE THE DOOR GLASS, MAKE SURE YOU INSTALL THE NEW GASKETS AT THE SAME PLACE AS THE ORIGINAL IN ORDER TO KEEP THE AIRWASH WORKING PROPERLY.

8.1.8 Door Gasket Maintenance

It is important to maintain the door gasket in good condition. After a while, the gasket will wear and compress; adjusting the door may then be required (see Section 8.1.9 : Door Adjustment). If the door adjustment is not sufficient, replace the door gasket with a genuine part. If the stove door is not properly sealed, it will be difficult to keep the door glass clean and combustion gases may leak into the room.

WARNING: IF THE STOVE’S DOOR IS NOT SCEALED PROPERLY, CUMBUSTION GASES MAY LEAK INTO THE ROOM.

with a small hammer

8.2 Venting System Maintenance

CAUTION: REGULARLY EXAMINE THE VENTING SYSTEM, THE JOINTS, AND THE SEALING TRIMS TO ENSURE THAT THE SMOKE AND THE COMBUSTION GASES ARE NOT DRAWN BY THE CONVECTION BLOWER.

The most efficient method to sweep the venting system is by using a 3” or 4'' pellet brush depending on your installation. Brush downwards so ash, soot and creosote residues will come off the inner surface and fall at the bottom of the clean out tee where they can be easily removed. The venting system must be in good condition and kept clean.

WARNING: IF A SIGNIFICANT LAYER OF CREOSOTE HAS ACCUMULATED (3MM / 1/8” OR MORE), IT MUST BE REMOVED IMMEDIATELY TO ELIMINATE THE RISK OF A CHIMNEY FIRE.

8.2.1 Dealing With a Chimney Fire

Regular chimney maintenance and inspection can prevent chimney fires. If you have a chimney fire, follow these steps:

1. Alert your family of a possible danger.

2. If you need assistance, call the fire department;

Edison Installation and Operation Manual

3. If possible, use a dry chemical fire extinguisher, baking soda or sand to control the fire. Do not use water, as it may cause dangerous vapor explosions.

4. Check outside to ensure that sparks and hot embers coming out of the chimney are not igniting any combustible material close by;

5. Do not use the stove again until your chimney and stove have been inspected by a qualified chimney sweep or a Fire Department Inspector;

CAUTION: CLEANOUT OF THE STOVE AND THE VENTING SYSTEM IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT AT THE END OF THE HEATING SEASON TO MINIMIZE CORROSION DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS, CAUSED BY ACCUMULATED ASH.

8.2.2 Soot and Fly Ash

The combustion products contain small particles of fly ash. Fly ash can accumulate especially in horizontal sections of exhaust pipe and restrict the flow of combustion gases. Incomplete combustion, produced when igniting, shut down or misuse of the stove will cause some soot formation which can accumulate in venting system. The venting system must be inspected at least twice a year to determine if cleaning is necessary.

9 Troubleshooting

When you have issues with your stove, your first reaction may be to call technical support. This section will help you save time and money by enabling you to solve simple problems by yourself.

Most common problems are generally caused by the following five factors:

1. Wrong operation or lack of maintenance;

2. Bad installation;

3. Poor quality combustible;

4. Component failure;

5. Factory defect.

The stove is equipped with a pc board that allows the stove to diagnose itself. It is thus important not to unplug the stove if there is an issue with it. First, because unplugging the stove will disable all the security features of the stove, and second, because you will not be able to see the error message given by the stove to understand what is the problem. It is thus important to read carefully this section before calling technical support.

The following sections will help you test each component individually and will also give you many tips in how to solve any problems related to a specific error message.

NOTE: IF YOU NEED TO CONTACT YOUR DEALER OR TECHNICAL SUPPORT, MAKE SURE TO HAVE THE MODEL OF YOUR STOVE AND THE SERIAL NUMBER ON HAND. (THEY CAN BE FOUND ON THE CERTIFICATION LABEL INSIDE THE HOPPER LID).

9.1 Validating Status

When using your stove, you can validate at any time, the status of any of the following components:

- Electronic components (low power rated)

o F160 (security heat sensor) o L-250A (security heat sensor) o Pressure switch (security sensor) o Hopper switch (mechanical security sensor) o Thermostat (temperature regulator device)

- Electrical components (high power rated)

o Igniter (heater) o Combustion blower (will feed fire with fresh air) o Convection blower (will send hot air into the room) o Exhaust blower (will extract combustion gas out of the stove) o Auger motor 1 (located under the hopper) o Auger motor 2 (will feed the fire with pellets)

WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. IF YOU NEED TO MANUALLY TEST, MANIPULATE OR REPLACE ANY COMPONENTS, THE STOVE NEEDS TO BE DISCONNECTED FROM THE WALL OUTLET AS WELL AS FROM THE OPTIONAL AUXILARY BATTERY SYSTEM.

o Pressure tap (located on the clean out trap) or tube is blocked. Remove the clean

out trap on which the pressure tap is installed and brushed it. Pull off the air hose at both ends. WARMING: THE TUBE MUST ABSOLUTELY BE DISCONNECTED FROM BOTH ENDS AS TO NOT DAMAGE THE PRESSURE SWITCH. Blow in the air tube. If air flows freely, the hose is fine. If air does not flow through the hose, use a thin wire to clear the blockage.

o The flue is blocked or needs cleaning. One of the following components is

obstructed or blocked by ashes of by a foreign object; air intake shutter, combustion blower, burn pot, heat exchangers and exhaust channels, exhaust blower and or venting system. Refer to the maintenance section.

o The flue is not properly installed. Make sure the venting system meets the criteria in

the installation section of this manual as well as the venting system manufacturer’s instructions.

o A back draft occurred inside the flue. This can occur on a very windy day or if your

venting system does not have a proper termination.

o The pressure switch hose is disconnected. Make sure the pressure switch hose is

well installed on the pressure tap and on the bottom tap of the switch. If not, reinstall it.

o The exhaust or combustion blower failed. Go to the troubleshooting page on the

LCD touch screen and test the exhaust and the combustion blowers independently (see Section 9.2: Testing Components). If one of them does not work, make sure there is power and that blowers are well connected. If they still don’t work, the combustion or exhaust blower is probably defective. Replace the faulty part.

o Pressure switch is defective. Even if this is very rare, the pressure switch could be

defective. To test it, go to the troubleshooting page on the LCD touch screen (see Section 9.2: Testing Components). Start the exhaust blower. If the pressure switch square switches from the right column to the left column, it means the pressure switch functions. If not, the pressure switch is defective and needs to be replaced.

system. All vent connector joints must be sealed and fastened in accordance with the pellet vent manufacturer's instructions to ensure consistent performance and avoid smoke and ash spillage (see Section 4.5.1: Installation Warnings, Cautions and Recommendations Reminder).

 Worn gaskets. Gaskets may be allowing smoke spillage (doors, clean out traps, etc).

Make sure that all gaskets are in good condition and replace them with original parts if necessary. Make sure the door is well adjusted (see Section 8.1.9: Door Adjustment).

 Negative pressure. A faint wood-burning odor during ignition or shut down is normal.

Although, if this increases beyond what is considered normal or if you notice an unusual soot build-up on walls or furniture, check your venting system carefully for leaks and make sure all gaskets are in good condition. The stove exhaust blower produces a negative pressure in the room. It draws air from the inside of the room, through the stove and then outdoors. In the same manner, other appliances can also create a larger negative pressure. In this case, as the air naturally flows from a high pressure point to a low pressure point, a larger negative pressure can draw smoke from the inside of the stove into the room. The stove can also be affected by other mechanical ventilation systems, causing the same effect as mentioned previously. Using a fresh air intake will prevent negative pressure (see Appendix F: Combustion Air supply). Also, make sure the recommended maintenance schedule has been followed.

 Exhaust off delay. The stove is off when the exhaust temperature is cold enough, then

the exhaust fan will keep running for a certain delay to make sure there is no smoke back draft going to the house. It’s possible to increase the delay of the exhaust fan by going in the “Troubleshoot” menu at the last page and by pressing the “+” button until you reach the delay wanted in minute.

9.3.14 Combustion Air Starvation

 Venting system is dirty. Refer to Section 8: Maintenance.  The flue is not properly installed. Make certain the venting system meets the criteria

in the installation section of this manual as well as the venting system manufacturer’s instructions.

 Inadequate fuel is used. Remove the burn pot, make sure that all openings are clear

and check that no ash has filled the tube around the igniter. Refer to Section 8:

Maintenance. Also, make sure that recommended fuel is used (see Section 5.2.1: Proper Fuel) and settings are adjusted to the type of pellets that are being used (see

Edison Installation and Operation Manual

XXXX

Section 6.1.7: Combustion Settings and Pilot Settings depending on Fuel Quality).

 Air intake channel is restricted. Visually inspect the air intake channel that leads to

the burn pot for foreign material. Make sure that the air-intake shutter is functional and free of any obstruction.

 The combustion/exhaust blower failed. Go to the troubleshooting page on the LCD

touch screen and test the combustion and the exhaust blowers independently (see Section 9.2: Testing Components). If one of them does not function, make sure there is power and that the blowers are properly connected. If the connections are in good, the combustion or exhaust blower is probably defective; Replace the faulty part.

9.3.15 The LCD Touch Screen Does Not Lightup.

 There is no electrical current going to the stove. Check if the stove is connected

and if there is current in the wall outlet. Test the screen by plugging it into a USB charger (5V maximum source) or to a computer. Check if the main fuse is blown. Check if the power cord inlet socket fuse is blown. Replace it if necessary.

 USB wire is defective or not connected properly. Check connection and change

wire, if necessary.

 The on/off button under the touch screen housing was pressed. Press a first time

on the button and wait 10 seconds. If the screen is blank, press again and wait 10 seconds.

 The temperature of the screen is below zero. When the screen is exposed to

temperatures too cold, the liquid crystals may not function properly which causes a loss of communication. This situation may occur in cases where the unit has arrived from outside by a carrier or is subjected to a room temperature too low as in an unheated cottage or a very cold garage.

Possible Vertical vent length (feet)

Edison Installation and Operation Manual

Instead, if the installation consisted of a horizontal vent coming out at the back of the stove on a total distance of 4 feet, followed by a tee and a 6-foot vertical rise, it would be acceptable. The termination is within the allowable configuration zone on the chart since it would have at least one foot of vertical rise for each foot of horizontal run. Furthermore, the total vertical rise is at least 3-feet high.

O.K.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of smoke spillage there should always be at least one foot of vertical rise for each foot of horizontal run. In all cases, at least 3 feet of vertical rise is needed.

WIRING Step 1

Remove the upper back grille to get to the optional auxiliary battery system.

Step 2

The stove works with a tension of 24V. To do so, the two 12V batteries must be wired in SERIES, not in parallele. Wired like this, two 12V at 20Ah battery will give you 24V at 20Ah. The wiring must be done according to the picture :

• The long red wire (A) wich is plugged into the “+” of the grey connector (D) must be plugged to the “+” of battery

• The short black wire (B) must link the “-“ of the battery 1 with the “+” of the battery 2.

• The other short black wire (C) which is plugged into the “-“ of the grey connector (D) must be plugged to the “-“ of battery 2.

Step 3

Insert the grey connector (D) which is already connected to the auxiliary batteries into the grey connector secured to the back of the stove.

USE

When you battery system is installed, you only need to unplug the power cord of your residential electricity network to use your stove on the battery mode.

In the case of a power failure, the stove will switch automatically to the battery. The table below shows the autonomy of your stove with different burning setup. It is important to note that the autonomy will drop really fast when the igniter is on. If you need to ignite your stove while a power failure, make sure to not run out of pellets because a second ignition will decrease dramatically the autonomy.
