Testing Operation:

13.) This will cause all motors to run 100% for 2
minutes. The lights on the control panel will be lit
for each motor. If you leave it on "test" the blowers
will cycle as an audible reminder.
Starting Fire:
1. Fill the hopper with dry coal. NOTE: Remove
all coal from hopper ledge. (g 17)
2.Fillburn-grateareafromrebricktofrontof
grate with about one inch of (DRY) coal.
3. Plug into 120 volt AC outlet and turn control to
"OFF". Turning to "OFF" and then back to the
desired mode resets the control.
4.TurnFeedAdjustertothe#3position,g.14.
5. Make a valley in the coal at the top of the burn
grate.Fillvalleywithrestartingmaterial(coal
starter, crushed charcoal, wood pellets).
6.Turn Mode Selector to Room Temp or Stove
Temp as desired.
7. Turn the Temp Dial to the desired setting.
8.Lightthereandmakesurethatalldoorsand
the hopper lid are closed. As the ESP senses the
correct temperature, the Feed Motor will start.
Shutdown Procedure:
Tokillthereorstopburningthestove,turn
the Mode Selector knob to the "OFF" position. This
willstopthefeederandtherewillburnout.When
the stove cools to about 95 degrees Fahrenheit, all
motors will stop. The unit can then be unplugged.
NOTE: It is always best to let the stove run out of
coal to shut it down rather than use the "OFF"
position. This is because there is no moisture
left in the hopper from the coal. Always run the
stove out of coal to shut it down when the heating
season is over or if the stove will not be used for
several days.
Restarting Fire After Shutdown:
All ash and partially burned coal must be cleaned
outfrombehindgrates down underrebrickuntil
fresh coal is seen. Follow "Starting Fire" procedure
above.
