Osburn Stoves by SB I HYBRID-45 MF Benutzerhandbuch

 
THIS STOVE IS APPROVED FOR BURNING PELLETIZED WOOD 
FUEL ONLY! Factory-approved pellets are those ¼” or 5/16” in 
diameter and not over 1” long. Longer or thicker pellets sometimes 
bridge the auger flights, which prevents proper pellet feed. Burning 
wood in forms other than pellets is not permitted. It will violate 
the building codes for which the stove has been approved and 
will void all warranties. The design incorporates automatic feed of 
the pellet fuel into the fire at a carefully prescribed rate. Any 
additional fuel introduced by hand will not increase heat output but 
may seriously impair the stoves performance by generating 
considerable smoke. Do not burn wet pellets. The stove’s 
performance depends heavily on the quality of your pellet fuel. 
Avoid pellet brands that display these characteristics: 

 

Fines – “Fines” is a term describing crushed pellets or 

loose material that looks like sawdust or sand. Pellets can be 
screened before being placed in hopper to remove most fines. 

b. Binders – Some pellets are produced with materials to hold 

them together, or “bind” them. 

High ash content – Poor quality pellets will often create smoke 
and dirty glass. They will create a need for more frequent 
maintenance. You will have to empty the burn pot plus vacuum 
the entire system more often. Poor quality pellets could 
damage the auger. Osburn cannot accept responsibility for 
damage due to poor quality pellets. Your dealer can 
recommend a good quality pellet dealer in your area. 

 

Remove burn pot, making sure it is clean and none of the air holes 
are plugged. Clean the firebox, and then reinstall burn pot. Clean 
door glass if necessary (a dry cloth or paper towel is usually 
sufficient). Never use abrasive cleaners on the glass or door. Check 
fuel in the hopper, and refill if necessary. 
 
NOTE: The Osburn Hybrid-45 MF Hopper can hold up to 70 lbs. of 
pellets. 
 

 
Never use a grate or other means of supporting the fuel. Use only 
the Osburn approved burn pot. 
 
NOTE: During the first few fires, your stove will emit an odor and a 
small amount of fumes as the high temperature paint cures or 
becomes seasoned to the metal. Maintaining smaller fires will 
minimize this. Avoid placing items on stovetop during this period 
because paint could be affected. Make sure the room is well-
ventilated.  Open windows.  Odors and fumes released during 
this process are unpleasant but they are not toxic. 
 

 
a. 

Fill hopper and clean burn pot. 

 
b.  Press “MODE” button to select the desired setting “MANUAL” 

or ‘THERMOSTAT” 

 
c.  If the flame is too low in burn pot or the unit has difficulty to 

light, reduce the air supply by turning the air supply control 
knob toward the minimum setting.  The knob is located on the 
side of the unit.  Once the fire is established, adjust the air 
supply knob to the desired flame height.   

d. 

Adjust feed rate to desired setting by pressing “-” or “+” button. 

 
If fire doesn’t start in 30 minutes, refer to troubleshooting section.

The blowers and automatic fuel supply are controlled from a panel 
on the right-hand side of the Hybrid-45 MF. The control panel 
functions are as follows.
