The ON/OFF light blinks under certain conditions. Does this mean anything?
a.
The ON/OFF light blinking will mean one of two things.
When the stove is first started and the stove is in the
“Start-up” program, the light blinks until the “Proof of
Fire” switch locks in. This indicates the “Normal
Operation” and the light stays on constantly.
b.
If the stove is running on a Thermostat, it will start up as
described in point (a), but during “Normal Operation”
when the Thermostat is not calling for heat the stove
drops to the #1 setting and “Pilots” until the thermostat
calls for heat again. The LED light indicating the Heat
Level will not drop to the #1 setting during “Pilot
Mode”. During this time the ON/OFF light will be
blinking and the auger light blinks when pellets are
feeding into the burnpot, indicating that the stove is in
“Pilot Mode”. If the stove is running in “SmartStat”
Mode, the stove will shut down completely 1 hour after
the Thermostat called for heat the last time. Once the
stove has completely shut down, all lights on the board
are off with the exception of the On/Off light. It will be
blinking.
11.
The ON/OFF light is always blinking and the stove only runs on with a low fire, even
though I have the Heat Level on #5.
If the stove
is
operating on a Thermostat, this usually indicates a problem in the Thermostat
circuit. There is either a bad connection in the wires or the Thermostat itself has a problem.
Troubleshoot all of the components in the system.
If the stove
is not
operating on a Thermostat, make sure the slide switch on the control board is in
the “Manual” position.
12.
I am running my stove on the SmartStat with a Thermostat and I can’t shut the stove down.
This may also be an indication of a problem in the thermostat circuit or of running the stove
incorrectly. If the slide switch with #6 (See figure 2 on page 3) is set to “SmartStat” and the
thermostat circuit is calling for heat, the stove cannot be shut off at the control board. You must
first shut the thermostat off and then shut the stove off at the control board. If this isn’t possible it
may indicate a problem in the thermostat wires from the stove to the Thermostat or a defective
Thermostat.
These questions and answers will usually solve most problems that you run into during the break-
in period of the stove or if a component fails in the stove. Before calling your dealer for
assistance, please read your
Operations Manual
and perform all the maintenance issues covered
in the
Daily and Periodic Maintenance
section of the Manual. If the stove still does not operate
correctly call your Dealer for Assistance.
