questions about Englander 25EPI

[rbarrett]

Hi there - wondering if this stove is supposed to burn at what looks like full blast on 1 ?
And is the convection blower supposed to not go off turbo even though you turn it down ?

WE just installed this stove on Saturday - no error codes or anything - but never had one before but this thing puts out serious heat on 1 -

Another problem is - that after powering off and back on - (it was hot in here) it created a bunch of black soot and the flames were tinged in black - powered it off and back on and it ran fine

Also would like to make sure the factory adjustment is correct - ours is 5-3-1

Any help appreciated - the manufacturer is closed today and of course it is very cold (finally) in Virginia today

I am unsure if the EPI settings should be the same as the EP freestanding, but if they are, yours are way off.

The EP freestanding defaults are 1-4-1.
If your numbers are supposed to be the same it would explain your high heat and lack of air in level 1.

You need to get a hold of Englander customer service to find out for sure what your settings should be.

As for the convection fan, it will turn itself on high when the stove gets too hot. But should toggle back down to the setting you have it set.

I'd try changing the feedrate down to 1 before you call. Press the lfr button then the 2 arrow down buttons simultaneously. Let it run for a good 20 minutes. You can always change it back. After the 20 minutes if it seems to be burning OK I'd move the air up to 4 and let that go for another 20 minutes. Just don't change the last #.

Can you do this while it is running or power down first ?

 

[Shane1]

While it's running. Just make sure you let it run for at least 20 minutes whenever you change something so you can see how it reacts.

Do you have to hold the down button to change the number ?

 

[rbarrett]

How do you change the number , press down again ?

 

[Shane1]

Nope. Just press llf button its current number will display in the right screen then simultaneously press both down arrows until you reach your desired #. If you want to go up you do the same bit press the up arrows.
