used. The circuit board will automatically change the draft and also the room air speed when you change

Before starting the MagnuM Biomass unit again, it is important to remember to clean out the firepot,
empty the ashes, clean out the heat exchangers, vacuum out the hopper if needed and fill the hopper
with fuel.
