TRIM POTS (Fine Tune Adjustments)– Factory Settings

The COMBUSTION FAN (FAN), HI (4) and LO (1) FEED RATE trim pots have been preset at the

 

 

factory, but may need to be adjusted onsite after your installation is complete. Due to different

 

 

installation setups, length and size of venting, and pellet fuel quality, the preset from the factory will

 

 

not always be correct. These settings will accommodate virtually all wood pellet fuels.

FUEL FEED rates at the Lowest (number 1) and highest (number 4) settings can be adjusted by

FINE TUNE ADJUSTMENTS

adjusting the fine tune trim pots located on the control panel. To raise fuel feed turn trim pot

 

 

counter clockwise and to lower turn clockwise. To assist in knowing what the change is you

 

 

should note the amount of time the light on the AUGER CYCLE LED stays OFF. (Note: The light

 

 

stays on when ever the fuel feed motor, AUGER CYCLE, is running). Lengthening the time this

COMBUSTION FAN SPEED (FAN)

 

FAN

In a few instances because of prevailing conditions pertinent to your specific installation, or even

 

 

different batches of pellet fuel, the COMBUSTION FAN SPEED may be adjusted to raise or lower

 

 

the amount of air moving through the grate for the cleanest burn. The FAN speed can be adjusted

 

 

by adjusting the FAN trim pot COUNTER CLOCKWISE to INCREASE the speed and CLOCKWISE to DECREASE the speed of the combustion fan.

Note: If you attempt to adjust the Fuel Feed Trim Pots, use a small precision screwdriver. The Trim Pots do not make a full rotation.

If using a metal screwdriver, be gentle as the plastic trim pot slot can be damaged or stripped.

FAN SPEED (Convection or heating)

The FAN SPEED controls the speed of the room air fan. This fan blows room air through the heat exchange tubes and back into the room. When the FEED RATE is set to a higher position, the FAN SPEED should be set higher and visa versa. When the FEED RATE is set at [3 OR 4] set the FAN SPEED to [MED]. If you forget, the room air fan's (L140) temperature limit snap switch automatically sets the fan on high when your stove is producing heat faster than the fan is carrying it into the room. This may occur when the heat control lever is set at [3 or 4] and the FAN SPEED is set to a very low or off setting. After the fan runs at this automatic high setting a few minutes, it may cycle back to its lower setting and may continue to cycle between [HIGH ] and your selected setting. The circulation (room air) fan cycling from high to low is a normal condition, as well as a safety feature of

your appliance.

AUGER CYCLE

The AUGER CYCLE LED indicates when a electrical signal is being sent to the auger motor. It is NOT used to indicate the actual movement of the auger. When the signal is being sent the LED will be solid for 3 seconds. When the LED is off no signal is being sent.

SHUTTING THE STOVE OFF

Note: DO NOT UNPLUG your stove if there is a fire going or if the stove is still active. This could result in smoke coming back into the room. Remember the EXHAUST FAN is needed to force the exhaust out of the stove.

On the CCI “AcuTron” Board firmly touch the OFF touch pad. The FUEL RATE LED will turn off. The AUGER CYCLE LED will turn off. The auger will stop feeding fuel to the fire and the FAN speed LED will flash indicating that the appliance is in the “Shut Down” mode. The fire will go out and the fans will continue to run until your stove cools down at which time the fans will automatically shut off and NO LED’s will remain ON.
