. 

Heat Output Switch

The heat output switch is located on the upper right side panel.  
The function of the heat ouput switch is to regulate the burn 
rates; low, medium, and high settings.

9. Hopper Switch

The hopper switch is located in the upper right hand corner 
of the hopper.  This switch is designed to shut down the feed 
motor whenever the hopper lid is opened.

10. Igniter

The igniter is mounted on the base of the fi repot.  Combustion 
air travels over the red hot igniter creating super heated air 
that ignites the pellets. 

11.  Junction Box And Wiring Harness

The junction box is located on the right side of the appliance, 
behind the interior shield.  The junction box and wiring harness 
are replaced as one component.

12. Power Supply

The power outlet is located on the back of the appliance, 
lower right corner.  Check the wall receptacle for 120 volt, 
60 Hz (standard current).  Make sure the outlet is grounded 
and has the correct polarity.  A good surge protector is 
recommended.

13.  Red Call Light

The red call light is on the front of the junction box, next to the 
reset button.  The function of the red call light is to indicate 
that the thermostat is calling for heat.

14. Reset Button

The reset button is located on the right side of the appliance 
next to the red call light.  The function of the button is to 
momentarily open the thermostat circuit, which restarts the 
system.  

15. Thermocouple

The thermocouple is located on top of the fi repot  inside 
the thermocouple cover (ceramic protection tube). The 
thermocouple sends a millivolt signal to the control box 
indicating the preset temperatures of the green and red lights 
have been obtained.

When describing the location of a component, 

it is always AS YOU FACE THE FRONT OF 

THE APPLIANCE.

2. Convection Blower

The convection blower is mounted at the bottom rear of the 
appliance.  There are 2 impellers, one on each side of the 
motor.  The convection blower pushes heated air through the 
heat exchange system into the room.  

3.  Combustion (Exhaust) Blower

The combustion blower is mounted on the lower left side 
on rear of appliance.  The blower is designed to pull the 
exhaust from the appliance and push it out through the 
venting system.  

4. Feed System

The feed system is located in the hopper under the feed 
motor cover box on the left side of the appliance and can 
be removed as an entire assembly.  The assembly includes 
the feed motor, mounting bracket, bearing and feed spring 
(auger).  The hollow feed spring (auger) pulls pellets up the 
feed tube from the hopper area and drops them down the 
feed chute into the fi repot.  

5. Firepot

The  fi repot is made of high quality ductile iron and has a 
cleaning pull-out rod.  The fl oor of the fi repot opens for 
cleaning when you pull out the rod.  Be sure that the fl oor 
returns to a completely closed position or your appliance will 
not operate properly.

6. Fuse

The fuse is located on the front of the junction box on the 
right side of the appliance.  The fuse will blow should a short 
occur and shut off power to the appliance.
