AUTOMATIC SAFETY FEATURES
WARNING
These automatic safety features must not be bypassed
•Power Outage
During a power outage, the stove will shut down safely. It will not automatically restart when the power returns, unless the exhaust is still up to temperature (see “Lighting Instructions” page 21).
•Overheating
A high temperature switch will automatically shut down the stove if it overheats. The stove will need to be manually relit. Allow 45 minutes before relighting.
•Auger Cut-Off
When the back hopper lid is opened the fuel auger stops. It will resume operation when the lid is closed. The hopper lids must be kept closed for proper operation. If the lid is left open the fire will go out. If fuel gets lodged in the back hinge area of the hopper, when you close the lid, the switch might not work. Always make sure that the sealing surface is clear of fuel before closing the lid.
HOPPER AUGER SAFETY SWITCH LOCATION
Micro Switch
The hopper auger safety switch is mounted in the back of the hopper, up next to the back lid. The assembly is enclosed to keep the fuel from entering the switch locale. When the lid is opened it cuts power to the auger motor. Power is resumed when the lid is closed. If the lid is left open for more than a couple of minutes the fire will go out. Always have the fuel ready to load into the hopper before opening.
Pressure Switch
The Pressure Switch is located just below the auger safety switch on the back of the hopper. When the door on the front of the unit is opened, the auger will stop. If the door is left open for more than a couple of minutes the fire will go out.
