United States Stove 6041 Patio Heater User Manual


 
USSC 19
• Fill the burnpot with wood pellets up to the level of the igniter port; See illustration.
• Close all doors, lids, and cleanouts.
• Press the “ON” button and select desired heat range. This will start the
ignition sequence.
Once the wood fuel is ignited and the heater senses heat, the auger and
agitator will begin to rotate, feeding fuel to the burnpot. NOTE: If the start-
ing fuel is not burning hot enough, you may see the re begin to go out as
new fuel is being added. If this occurs, pressing the “Auger Delay” button
will allow the auger to pause for 1 minute. Pressing the “ON” button will
resume the auger if 1 min. is too long. If not enough fuel is the reason
for not burning, pressing and holding the “ON” button will allow the auger
to continuously deliver fuel until you release the button.
• Continue to observe the re until most of the wood pellets have been
consumed and only corn or your selected fuel is burning aggressively.
• Make ne adjustments to the air/fuel with the damper located centered,
under the hearth. You should pull the damper out approximately 1 inch.
It may need to be pulled out more or less depending on your selected
heat setting and fuel quality. Try opening or closing by a 1/4 inch at a
time.
• Once the heater reaches warm temperature, the room fan will start to circulate air into the room.
Overre Protection - If the heater is being overred, burned too hot, the heater will automatically shutdown to avoid damage
to components in the heater. Refer to “Lighting Instructions” for proper use.
TURNING THE HEATER OFF
Pressing the OFF button will cause the heater to enter a shutdown mode. If the heater has reached operating temperature, the
OFF Indicator will blink until the shutdown procedure succeeds in lowering the heater temperature. The Room Fan will stay on to
cool the heater, and the Exhaust Fan will stay on to remove smoke and heat from the combustion chamber. The Agitator will rotate
continuously until shutdown is complete. The Auger will bump the fuel out every few seconds to prevent the fuel in the auger from
burning. Once the temperature of the burn chamber falls below approximately 90 degrees Fahrenheit and the pressure switch detects
that the door is closed, the fans will stop and the Auger will run for a few seconds to purge the auger system of any burned fuel. At
this point, the OFF Indicator will go out and the heater will turn completely off. If during burning, the heater reached at least 120
degrees Fahrenheit, the shutdown procedure will include a 15 minute shutdown cycle that will keep the heater in the shutdown state
for at least 15 minutes regardless of whether it is cool or pressure is detected. The 15 minute cycle can be turned off by pressing
the off button during shutdown. This will cause the system to exit shutdown and return to the “OFF” mode as soon as the door is
closed and the heater is cool.
Continue to monitor the heater / insert after the shutdown procedure has begun. And remember, varying ambient conditions may
result in a lengthy period of time for adequate cool down and the resultant shut down. Be patient, this is normal. The control board is
telling the heater / insert to gradually “shut down,” rather than initiate a sudden halt of fuel to the re pot. In this way, the possibility
of smoke entering the home is avoided.
i NEVER shutdown or unplug the heater and leave it unattended. Observe operations for at least 20 minutes.
TO START A FIRE...
Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter uid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen
up” a re in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use.
Using Wood Pellets: Ensure your display shows a “Pr” for pellets.
• Close all doors, lids, and cleanouts.
• Press the “ON” button and select desired heat range. This will start the ignition sequence.
At this point, the igniter will come on and run for preset time limit (approximately 9 minutes). The auger will begin to turn and feed
fuel into the burnpot. After the 9 minutes or if the heater reaches operating temperature, the igniter will shut off and normal opera-
tion will begin.
• Make ne adjustments to the air/fuel with the damper located centered, under the hearth.
• Once the heater reaches warm temperature, the room fan will start to circulate air into the room.
If you would like to increase the life of your ignitor, you can run your heater in the “Cr” mode. However, you must place pellets in
the burnpot, up to the igniter level as shown in the illustration below for auto ignition. Close the door and press the “ON” button. The
igniter only runs approximately half the time in “Cr” as oppose to the “Pr” mode.
Using Corn, Soy Beans, Cherry Pits: Ensure your display shows a “Cr” for corn.
NOTE: Wood pellets MUST be used for auto ignition of the fuel. Corn, Soy Beans, and Cherry Pits have a higher
ash point and requires more heat to combust as opposed to wood pellets. Trying to light the heater with a fuel
other than wood pellets will decrease the life expectancy of your igniter cartridge.
The use of starter gel or starter pellets is not required for this heater.
