When securing the door, make sure the pawl fits over the bracket before tightening.

the door may be swung open.

Clearing the Auger Drop Tube

In rare cases the auger drop tube will become plugged with pellets. If your heater fails to feed pellets (make sure the hopper has pellets and the auger has been turning for 10 minutes after refueling), this is an indication of a plugged drop tube. Follow these steps to clear the drop tube: a) Remove the screw on the drop tube; b) Slide the fuel gate from the drop tube; c) Use a screwdriver to dislodge pellets from the top of the drop tube (make sure to get both sides of the auger – you will get approximately 1/4 cup); and, d) Replace the fuel gate and secure with the screw.

N O T E : Earlier models do not have the fuel gate – proceed to step c to clear the drop tube.

WARNING: Whenever the auger becomes jammed, it is an indication that the firepot has become plugged. After clearing the pellets, clean the firepot (see page 2 8) and review the operating instructions to verify the heater is working correctly and pellets are not piling up

NOTE: Make sure this gate can swing when in place. If it is installed incorrectly, it will prevent pellets from feeding correctly.
