Use and Care Guide

FALL START UP
Prior to starting the rst re of the heating season, check the outside area around the exhaust and air intake systems
for obstructions. Clean and remove any y ash from the exhaust venting system. Clean any screens on the exhaust
system and on the outside air intake pipe. Turn all of the controls on and make sure that they are working properly.
This is also a good time to give the entire stove a good cleaning throughout.
SPRING SHUTDOWN
After the last burn in the spring, remove any remaining pellets from the hopper and the auger feed system. Scoop
out the pellets and then run the auger until the hopper is empty and pellets stop owing (this can be done by
pressing the “ON” button with the viewing door open). Vacuum out the hopper. Thoroughly clean the burnpot, and
rebox. It may be desirable to spray the inside of the cleaned hopper with an aerosol silicone spray if your stove is
in a high humidity area. The exhaust system should be thoroughly cleaned.
CHIMNEY CONNECTOR
The required chimney connector must be kept clean and in good condition.
• Disconnect the power cord before performing any maintenance! NOTE: Turning the ON/OFF Switch to ”OFF”
does not disconnect all power to the electrical components of the stove.
• Never try to repair or replace any part of the stove unless instructions for doing so are given in this manual. All
other work should be done by a trained technician.
PROBLEM CAUSE: To rich air/fuel mixture
Orange, lazy ame,
excessive fuel build-up in
the burnpot
Clean out the burnpot and burnpot housing
Make sure that the viewing door is closed and sealed properly. If not, adjust door catch and/or
replace door gaskets.
Check that all outside connections are clear of any obstructions.
Check the exhaust system; clean as needed.
PROBLEM CAUSE: Burnpot burns out of fuel
Fire goes out or stove
shuts down.
Hopper is empty, rell the hopper.
Loss of draft pressure. Make sure that the viewing door is closed and sealed properly. If not,
adjust door catch and/or replace door gaskets. Check that all outside connections are clear of
any obstructions. Check the exhaust system; clean as needed.
Check that the pressure switch connection to the rebox is free of ash or clear of obstructions.
Auger system is jammed or there is a “bridging” of the fuel in the hopper, preventing fuel from
owing into the auger feed system.
PROBLEM CAUSE: Auto-Start Igniter fails to ignite the fuel in the burn pot.
Stove does not start a re
when the “ON” button is
pushed
Turn the stove off. Clear the unburned fuel from the burnpot and try again.
Check the pellet quality. Replace if moist, wet, or dirty.
Loss of draft pressure. Make sure that the viewing door is closed and sealed properly. If not,
adjust door catch and/or replace door gaskets. Check that all outside connections are clear of
any obstructions. Check the exhaust system; clean as needed.
Check that the auto-start igniter is not blocked with ash or soot. (The igniter is located behind the
burnpot on the back wall of the rebox.)
Check that the pressure switch connection to the rebox is free of ash or clear of obstructions.
The auto-start igniter gets “red hot” during start-up. If you can not visibly see the igniter glowing
during start-up, then the igniter may need to be replaced or there is a problem with the electrical
control system.
PROBLEM CAUSE: Power outage
Experiencing low exhaust
pressure
Turn off the circuit board and turn it back on.
