MAKE SURE PELLETS ARE NOT PILING UP
If the pellets build up over the burn pot, turn the pellet feed switch to "OFF".
If the fl ames seem to be coming only from the sides, or are or- ange/black, turn the heater off and check for build up of pellets.
The most likely causes are:
1.Feed rate has been set to maximum for an extended period of time. Turn feed rate to optimum.
2.The door, glass, or ash pan is open or has an air leak.
3.The burn pot requires cleaning.
4.The exhaust system requires cleaning.
5.The heater requires adjustment.
6. Poor pellet quality
