2 Operating Instructions

User Guide

WARNING

Fire Risk.

• Do not operate appliance before reading
and understanding operating instructions.

• Failure to operate appliance properly may

cause a house re.

Visit www.quadrare.com/shopping-tools/videos to view
product and use & care videos.

A. Fire Safety

To provide reasonable re safety, the following should be
given serious consideration:

• Install at least one smoke detector on each oor of
your home.

• Install at least one carbon monoxide detector on each

oor of your home.

• Locate smoke detector away from the heating
appliance and close to the sleeping areas.

• Follow the smoke detector manufacturer’s placement
and installation instructions and maintain regularly.

• Follow the carbon monoxide manufacturer’s placement
and installation instructions and maintain regularly.

• Conveniently locate a Class A re extinguisher to

contend with small res.

• In the event of a hopper re:

- Evacuate the house immediately.

- Notify re department.

Fuel Material

• Made from sawdust or wood by-products

• Depending on the source material it may have a high or
low ash content.

Higher Ash Content Material

• Hardwoods with a high mineral content

• Fuel that contains bark

• Standard grade pellets or high ash pellets

Lower Ash Content Material

• Most softwoods

• Fuels with low mineral content

• Most premium grade pellets

Clinkers

Minerals and other non-combustible materials such as sand
will turn into a hard, glass-like substance called a clinker
when heated in the re pot.

Trees from di󰀨erent areas will vary in mineral content. That

is why some fuels produce more clinkers than others.

Moisture

Always burn dry fuel. Burning fuel with high moisture
content takes heat from the fuel and tends to cool the
appliance, robbing heat from your home. Damp pellet fuel
can clog the feed system.

B. Non-Combustible Materials

Material which will not ignite and burn, composed of any

combination of the following:

• Steel

• Plaster

Materials reported as passing ASTM E 136, Standard

Test Method for Behavior of Metals, in a Vertical Tube
Furnace of 750° C.

• Glass

• Tile

• Brick

• Iron

• Slate

• Concrete

C. Combustible Materials

Material made of/or surfaced with any of the following

materials:

• Compressed Paper

• Wood

• Plywood/OSB

Any material that can ignite and burn: ame proofed or
not, plastered or non-plastered.

• Sheet Rock (drywall)

• Plastic

• Plant Fibers

D. Fuel Material and Fuel Storage

Pellet fuel quality can greatly uctuate. We recommend that
you buy fuel in multi-ton lots whenever possible. However,

we do recommend trying various brands before purchasing

multi-ton lots to ensure your satisfaction.

Size

• Pellets are either 1/4 inch or 5/16 inch (6-8mm) in
diameter

• Length should be no more that 1-1/2 inches (38mm)

• Pellet lengths can vary from lot to lot from the same
manufacturer

• Due to length variations, the feed rate may need
adjusting occasionally

Performance

• Higher ash content requires the re pot and the ash
drawer to be emptied more frequently

• Hardwoods require more air to burn properly

• Premium wood pellets produce the highest heat output

• Burning pellets longer than 1-1/2 inches (38mm) can
cause an inconsistent fuel feed rate and/or missed
ignitions or feed jams.

Storage

• Wood pellets should be left in their original sealed bag
until using to prevent moisture absorption

• Do not store any pellet fuel within the clearance
requirements or in an area that would hinder routine
cleaning and maintenance

HEATING

E. Before Your First Fire

1. First, make sure your appliance has been properly
installed and that all safety requirements have been

met. Pay particular attention to the re protection and

venting.

2. Double check that the rebox is empty and the re pot

oor is fully closed.

3. Close and latch the door.

CAUTION

Odors and vapors released during initial operation.

• Curing of high temperature paint.

• Open windows for air circulation.

• Odors may be irritating to sensitive individuals.

F. Filling the Hopper

Open the hopper lid by lifting the handle. Fill the hopper

with fuel. Close the hopper lid. The unit will not feed with

the hopper lid open and the re will go out.

G. User Interface

The appliance comes with a user interface and Bluetooth
key, both need to connected for the appliance to operate.
Reference user interface manual supplied for installation
and operation instructions (Figure 11.1).

I. Fire pot Purge

Purpose: To help remove debris from the re pot and help
the unit burn as e󰀩cient as possible.

The frequency of the purge cycle is once every 30 minutes

while the unit is burning. During the re pot purge, the feed

is reduced to the lowest setting and the exhaust blower
ramps up to a very high setting. The purge cycle lasts 99
seconds.

The purge cycle does not replace daily cleaning.

CAUTION

HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. KEEP CHILDREN,
CLOTHING AND FURNITURE AWAY. CONTACT MAY

CAUSE SKIN BURNS.

J. Shutdown

To shut the appliance down, turn the user interface to

OFF from the main menu. During the shutdown process,
the user interface will read shutdown. Once shutdown is

established the user interface will read standby.

Unlike the re pot purge, during shutdown existing fuel in
the re pot will continue to burn without the feed motor run­ning; but, the exhaust and convection blowers will remain

on until the exhaust has cooled.

Figure 11.1

H. Startup

The unit will go into the ignition sequence followed by a
start up sequence (the user interface will read startup).

The ignition sequence involves the exhaust blower and
igniter turning on, and the feed motor running in two stages.

The rst stage involves the feed motor running continu ously
for about a minute to start loading pellets into the re pot. In

the second stage, the feed motor will begin cycling on and

o󰀨.

When the pellets are warming - on the verge of igniting - it
is not uncommon for the rebox to ll with smoke.

Once ignition happens, the smoke should quickly

disappear. During this stage, as well as any part during the
burn process, the front door should not be opened.

This startup cycle continues until the unit senses ignition
by a rise in the exhaust temperature or the unit times out.

Following the ignition cycle the unit continues to feed
pellets to build up the re.

NOTE: If maintenance or daily cleaning is going to be

conducted immediately following a shutdown,
please use caution as components especially

those inside the rebox may still be hot.

K. Fire Characteristics

The overall height of the ame will vary throughout the burn
for a couple of reasons:

1. The ame will vary based on type of fuel or batch of
fuel.

2. The unit adjusts the burn rate according to the dial
setting – the further the dial is rotated clockwise the

higher the ame and consequently, heat output.

3. General maintenance and cleaning. Infrequent or poor
general maintenance will result in poorer performance.

Indicators for additional maintenance activities include:

- lazy ame

- black-sooted glass

- pellets not igniting

- excess pellets fall ing to the side of the re pot

4. See trim adjustment section for additional information.

After warming up, the convection blower will begin to blow
