Reference Materials

1.Auto-Clean Motor

The auto-clean motor is located under and behind the

repot on the left side, inside the convection air chamber. It automatically opens and closes the fi repot fl oor so ashes can fall into the ash pan.

2.Auto-Clean Switch

The auto-clean switch is located on top of the auto-clean motor. It communicates to the control board when the fi repot

oor is open and when the auto-clean system has completed its cycle and is back in the home (closed) position.

3.12 Volt Battery Back-Up Cable (Optional Accessory)

This is an optional accessory. It will plug into the appliance next to the power outlet located behind the left cast side panel. An icon will display on the wall control when the appliance has lost main power and is running on battery back-up.

4.Control Board

The control board is located on the lower left side of appliance, behind the left side panel and above the vacuum switch. It controls the functioning of the appliance and communicates with the wall control. The control board can only be opened by an authorized dealer.

5.Convection Blower

The convection blower is mounted at the bottom left rear of the appliance. The convection blower pushes heated air through the heat exchange system into the room.

6.Door Switch

The door switch is mounted on the right side of the fi rebox behind the door handle. It senses when the door is open and will display an icon on the wall control, and will turn off the auto-clean system and feed motor for safety.

7.Combustion (Exhaust) Blower

The combustion (exhaust) blower is mounted in the bottom right rearof appliance. The blower is designed to pull the exhaust from the appliance and push it out through the venting system.

8.Feed System

The feed system is located on the right side of the appliance and can be removed as an entire assembly. The assembly includes the feed motor, mounting bracket, bearing and feed spring (auger). The hollow feed spring (auger) pulls pellets up the feed tube from the hopper area and drops them down the feed chute into the fi repot.

When describing the location of a component, it is always AS YOU FACE THE FRONT OF THE APPLIANCE.

9.Firepot

The fi repot is made of high quality ductile iron. The fl oor of the fi repot automatically opens for cleaning and is operated by the auto-clean fi repot system. The fl oor needs to return to a completely closed position or the appliance will not operate properly.

10.Fuses

There are three fuses. Two fuses are located on the inside of the control board. One fuse is AC and operates the igniter and the other fuse is DC and operates all of the other components. The third fuse is located in the power supply. A fuse will blow should a short occur and shut off power to the appliance. The fuses can only be serviced by an authorized dealer.

11.Heat Exchanger

The heat exchanger is located behind the baffl e and it transfers heat from the exhaust system into the convection air chamber. Remove the cast iron baffl e to access the heat exchanger.

12.Hopper Lid Switch

The hopper lid switch is located on the right side inside the hopper. It senses whether the hopper lid is open and displays an icon on the wall control and will turn off the feed motor.

13.Igniter

The igniter is mounted on the base of the fi repot. Combustion air travels over the red hot igniter creating super heated air that ignites the pellets.

14.Low Fuel Indicator

The low fuel indication is attached to the left side of the hopper. It senses the amount of fuel in the hopper and will display an icon on the wall control when the fuel level is low.

15.Optical Switch (Auger)

The optical switch is located on top of the feed system and communicates to the wall control that the auger is spinning or it has stopped.

16.Power Receptacle

The power receptacle is located on the left side of the appliance, behind the left cast side panel. Check the wall receptacle for 120 volt, 60 Hz (standard current). Make sure the outlet is grounded and has the correct polarity. A good quality surge protector is highly recommended to protect the electronics.
