Troubleshooting

DO NOT:

-Hold the start-up switch down; this is a momentary contact switch and can be damaged if held down too long.

-Service the stove with wet hands. The stove is an electrical appliance, which may pose a shock hazard if handled improperly. Only qualified technicians should deal with possible internal electrical failures.

-Remove any screws in the firebox without first lubricating them with penetrating oil.

What to do if:

1.The stove will not start.

2.The stove will not operate when hot.

3.The exhaust blower will not function normally.

4.The convection blower will not function normally.

5.Ignitor: The pellets will not light.

6.The auger motor does not function normally.

7.The dial-a-fire has no effect on the fire.

8.The stove will not shut off.

9.The stove keeps going out.

*NOTE: All troubleshooting procedures should be carried out by qualified technicians or installers.

1. The stove will not start

√Make sure the stove is plugged in and the wall outlet is supplying power.

√Push the Start-up switch. If the stove fails to start, unplug the unit and open the hinged side panels (held tight with one screw at the top, front).

√With the stove unplugged, examine all connections. Make sure they are firmly connected and that there are no exposed wires touching the stove (except the chassis ground wire).

√Check the continuity and placement of connections against the “WIRING DIAGRAM” in this manual.

√Ensure that the connections to the fifteen (15) minute start-up timer are correct.

√Attempt to bypass the switch by inserting a jumper wire between the red and white wires that attach to the switch. Plug the stove back in. If the stove starts, replace the switch.

√If this fails, replace the (15) minute start-up timer.

Caution: Installation of a new start-up timer without checking the ignitor resistance may cause another failure to the new start-up timer due to a short in the ignitor. The proper resistance through the ignitor should be 30Ω to 50Ω ±3Ω.

2.The stove will not operate when hot √ Check the hopper for fuel.

√Incorrect air damper setting - Excessive air may consume the fire too quickly before the next drop of fuel, leaving completely unburned fuel in the burn pot liner. Insufficient air will cause build up, further restricting the air flow through the Burn Pot Liner. This in turn will cause the fuel to burn cold and very slowly. Fuel may build up and smother the fire. (NOTE: Unit may require a change to the vent system or installation of fresh air to correct Air to Fuel ratio problems).
