Your pellet Stove has the following safety features:
A) The stove will shut off when the fire goes out and the exhaust temperature drops below 120°F (49°C).
B) The stove has a high temperature safety switch. If the temperature on the hopper reaches 200°F (93°C)
the auger will automatically stop, and the stove will shut off when the exhaust temperature cools. If this
happens call your local dealer to reset the 200°F (93°C) high limit switch. FIND THE REASONS WHY THE UNIT
OVERHEATED.
C) This unit has a convection fan control over-ride. This function causes the convection fan to reach its full speed
when the temperature at the back of the firebox reaches 160° F (71° C). This is a normal safety feature of your
unit.
D) The unit is equipped with a vacuum switch to monitor the venting; if it becomes blocked the vacuum switch will
turn off the auger and the #2 light on the control board will flash.

ETTING
:
The slider damper is located behind the left cab side. The door must be open for the cab side to be removed on all
models. On freestanding model loosen the two T20 torx screws, one above and one below hinge, swing open left
panel to access. On insert model remove the two T20 torx screws on the front, one above and one below hinge,
and the one T20 at the top of the cab side under the top front.
•
If the fire goes out and the heat output has been set on the lowest setting, use the auger trim button to increase
feed rate or the Slider Damper should be pushed in slightly, decreasing the air in the firebox. Check the firebox
vacuum and re-set if necessary.
•
If after long periods of burning the fire builds up and over flows the burn pot or there is a build up of clinkers
This would be a sign that the pellet quality is poor and the slider damper must be pulled to compensate, to give
the fire more air.
The easiest way to make sure that an efficient flame is achieved is to see the characteristics of the fire.
•
A tall and lazy flame with dark orange tips requires more air – Open slider.
•
A short and brisk flame, like a blowtorch, has too much air – Close slider.
•
If the flame is in the middle of these two characteristics with a bright yellow/orange, active flame then the air
may be correct for proper operation - monitor for build up.
SPECIAL NOTES:
Pellet quality is a major factor in how the pellet stove will operate. If the pellets have a high moisture content or ash
content the fire will be less efficient and has a higher possibility of the fire building up and creating clinkers (hard
ash build-up). If this happens, pull the Slider Damper out slightly to increase the air flow to the fire.
