Contour Pellet Stove

COMPONENT INFORMATION (CONT'D.)

auger spring to pull pellets up the feed tube from the hopper area and drop them down the feed chute into the firepot. If you are having fuel problems, check the following:

1.Check the ramp in the firebox to see that it is free of fuel or other materials.

2.Check the set screw on the end of the motor shaft to see that it is tight and not slipping.

3.Check the electrical power to motor.

4.Check the vacuum switch hose connections.

16.IGNITER

NOTE: For your convenience, a spare ignitor has been provided in the component package. It is suggested that you keep a spare on hand. Reorder from your dealer.

a.The igniter is mounted on the firepot. To inspect the igniter, remove the ash drawer from the pedestal. With this drawer removed, remove the firepot heat shield. This is a flat plate mounted with two Phillips head screws. You can now inspect both the igniter and firepot, and have gained access for removal or replacement of either part.

b.Check the wire leads to the igniter for loose or bad connections (ceramic wire nuts).

NOTE: Unplug stove before checking wire nuts.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CHANGING THE IGNITER

1.UNPLUG THE STOVE.

2.Remove the bottom ash drawer. Use a Phillips head screwdriver and remove the two screws that secure the firepot guard. The guard is located just beneath the ash catcher in front of the firepot. With the guard removed, the ignition chamber on the firepot and the wiring is now exposed.

The wires are connected together with two ceramic wire nuts. These wires will pull forward approximately four to five inches.

3.Holding the wires, turn the wire nut counter- clockwise to remove the wire nuts.

4.With nuts removed and wires separated, remove the igniter from the chamber: use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the single screw and slide the igniter out.

5.Install new igniter into the chamber.

6.Reconnect the wire to the two leads in any order.

7.Reinstall the ceramic wire nuts by turning clockwise.

8.Open right side panel and pull the wire leads back toward the rear of the stove to take-up the four to five inches pulled out previously. This will keep the wires out of the way of the ash drawer.

9.Reinstall firepot guard and ash drawer and reconnect the power.

17.FIREPOT

a.Clean the firepot (see section on Cleaning and

Maintenance on page 13).

b.When inspecting the firepot, make sure that the firepot floor is closing completely. Then see that the bottom floor is closing with no visible gaps, and is free of any ash or debris.

18.DOOR GASKET

a.To inspect the door gasket, open the door and see that the door rope extends approximately 1/8" to 3/16" from the door rope channel. It should show signs of compaction all the way around the door where the rope contacts the face of the stove.

19.HEAT EXCHANGERS

a.The heat exchangers (one on each side) can be accessed by removing the top stainless steel baffle. Each heat exchanger has a cleanout rod located in the center of the heat exchanger. To clean heat exchanger see page 13, Heat Exchanger

Maintenance and Cleaning.
