TROUBLESHOOTING & FRQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The Element-MF is equipped with the Multi-Fuel Burn System.
The Stove is very trouble free in operation when properly maintained and quality fuel is used. When
the Stove fails to operate properly, troubleshooting by the operator of the Stove is limited. Please read
the following guide for answers to frequently asked questions
1.
When first starting the Stove, the auger tube is empty, which will delay feeding fuel to the burn
pot. This will in some cases prevent the Stove from starting.
Solution:
Prime the burn pot using the Auger Feed button if the auger tube is empty.
2.
My Stove keeps overloading the burnpot.
First check the moisture content of your fuel. It
should be 15% or less. Also make sure you are using clean fuel. Otherwise this is mainly caused
by improper combustion. (See
Damper
Adjustment section of the Operations Manual) Besides
the damper adjustment there are several areas that can have an effect on the combustion process.
Solution:
Check all Gaskets, Doors and Door Latching Systems for air leaks. Any leaks in
these areas will negatively affect the burn process and cause the pot to overload.
3.
My Stove isn’t burning and the number 2 LED light is blinking.
This diagnostic light
indicates the vacuum switch no longer senses negative pressure in the firebox area of the Stove.
What caused the Stove to go out?
a.
The door of the unit was left open longer than 60 seconds.
(See solution)
b.
The ash pan door was left open for longer than 60 seconds.
(See solution)
c.
The combustion fan is not running. (Defective fan or control board)
d.
The vacuum switch is defective.
e.
The vacuum hose is disconnected
f.
The vent system is plugged with fly-ash
Solution:
If the fire is out
, re-light the Stove.
If the fire is still burning
make sure all doors
are securely latched
and
hold down the On/Off
button (approximately 5 seconds)
until Stove starts up again. This will re-start the Stove in the start-up program.
4.
My Stove isn’t burning and the number 3 LED light is blinking.
This diagnostic light
indicates that the Proof of Fire Switch no longer senses a fire in the Stove. First check to see if
there are pellets in the hopper. If there are pellets in the hopper, we need to understand why the
Stove went out.
