How your heater works
Your Eco-Aire pellet heater operates on a timer based auger fuel feed system, that is controlled by a digital
circuit board. The fuel is delivered from the auger into a burn pot, which is the vessel where the combustion
process takes place. Based upon the heat ranges (1-5), the heater will feed the appropriate amount of fuel
to reach a set temperature range. Note that the amount of heat produced by the heater is proportional to
the rate of the fuel that is burned. Your heater is equipped with an automatic ignition system that should ignite
the fuel within 5-10 minutes from pressing the ON button. As pellets fall into the burn pot and ignite, outside air
is drawn in to feed the fire by a combustion blower. The post combustion gases are then pulled through the
heat exchanger as they are traveling out the exhaust. As the heater warms up, room air is circulated around
the heat exchanger by means of a room air blower, distributing warm air into the room.
Because a forced draft pressure is required for the combustion process inside your heater, it is extremely
important that the exhaust system be properly maintained. And, that when operating your heater, you make
sure that the viewing and combustion doors are properly closed and/or sealed.
Turning the heater ON/OFF, as well as adjustments for the fuel feed rate is performed by pressing the appropriate
button(s) on the control panel which is located on the front, lower left-hand corner of your heater.
ON/OFF
• Pressing the "ON" button on the control panel will begin the start-up sequence for the heater. Fuel will begin
to feed through the auger feed system then ignite after approx. 5 minutes.
• Pressing the "OFF" button on the control panel will cause the heater to enter its shut-down sequence. The
fuel feed system will stop pulling fuel from the hopper and, once the fire goes out and the heater cools
down, the fans will stop running.
HEAT RANGE
• Pressing the "Heat Range" arrows, up or down, will adjust the amount of fuel being delivered to the burn
pot.
• The exhaust blower will start. Note that this appliance pulses the exhaust blower in order to achieve the
proper air to fuel ratio, and to also aid in the cleaning of the burn pot.
• Once the heater reaches a set temperature, the room fan will come on.
LIGHT (LED) INDICATORS
• Heat Range LED - displays the selected heat
setting. Number "1" LED lights to display that
there is power to unit even if the heater is off.
• Door Sw LED - lights when front viewing door is
opened or if the hopper lid is raised.
• Press Sw LED - lights if pressure is lost inside the
combustion chamber. (See "Errors")
• E LED - Operational Error (See "Errors")
• ON LED - Flashes in start-up mode. On solid
during Run mode
• OFF LED - Flashes during shut down mode
