Good morning all,
Very informative site as I have been lurking for some time but finally making the plunge. Some history, I had an Enviro EF3 and finally after much research moved to a Enviro m55 steel FS. It was installed last Thursday so I have only had it a few days. The stove seems to be working great and overall the stove is quiet. I do has some questions which I would love to hear your thoughts on.
1) Dealer installed the stove and plugged the thermostat wire to the back of the stove. He tested the stove on "Manual" and everything seemed to be good. That night I put the stove in "Hi/Low" and tested the thermostat and ....nothing. So I took the side panel off and noticed there is no wires coming to the plug in on the back of the stove. I noticed the blue plug on the control panel itself but there is no wires coming off it. What size wire would I run from the blue plug to the black plug on the back of the stove? Or could I just bring the thermostat wire directly in and plug to the blue plug on the control panel.
2) I am getting a dark smoke stain on the upper portion of the glass. I have left the Combustion Air Trim at 3. SHould I be adjusting this up or down? After all the reading I have done I am still confused at what the "Feed Trim" and the "Combustion Air Trim" do. I have taken some suggestions and dropped the feed trim to 1 and running the heat level at 3 and 4.
3) The stove is very quiet except for the augger which you can definately here. Also every half hour when the agitator runs it is a high pitch whistle. Hard to describe but would be like a dog whistle....I shut the stove down and have lubed the end twice now with the supplied stuff. No change.
The stove puts out a really nice heat....more intense than my EF3. I have been running it on "Premium" as I found the noise of the agitator to annoying on the "Regular Fuel" setting. Still trying to decide on the OAK.....may do that yet but right now I do not have one installed.
Thanks for any help you can give me on the above.
