out and maintenance.)

Cleaning the Fan Guard

: The plastic fan guard 

on the rear of the stove must be kept free of lint 
and  dust.  Check  weekly  for  lint  build-up  and 
vacuum as necessary (See FIGURE 2). 

4.

 

Keeping  the  Glass  Clean

:  If  soot  deposits 

accumulate on the glass, clean with window glass 
cleaner and a paper towel when glass is cold. 

TROUBLESHOOTING 

The  following  scenarios  are  provided  in  order  to 
help  locate  a  difficulty  if  the  heater  performs  in  a 
manner  which  would  seem  to  indicate  a 
malfunction: 

1.

 

Problem

:  Stove  has  pellets  but  pellets  do  not 

ignite. 

Solution

:  Check  power  cord  to  see  that  it  is 

plugged in tightly to the bottom of the stove. Is 
the LED light blinking when you push the Low, 
Medium, or High button? If not, check the fuse 
for the igniter located on the bottom of the stove 
in the red fuse holder. The timer on start-up runs 
approximately  six  minutes.  If,  during  this  time, 
the  pellets  have  not  lit,  the  start-up  sequence 
may have to be repeated.

 

 

T

he stove only runs on 

one  speed  until  a  temperature  is  reached  which 
activates the run mode. This usually takes 15 to 
20 minutes, and in extremely cold climates, the 
start-up  procedure  may  have  to  be  repeated  for 
the stove to reach this temperature. 

2.

 

Problem

: Pellets stopped feeding. 

Solution

:  Check  pellet  supply  in  hopper.  If 

empty,  fill  and  follow  start-up  procedure. 
Occasionally,  a  foreign  object,  debris,  or  an 
excessive amount of sawdust can enter the feed 
mechanism  and  jam  the  feed  chute.  If  this 
occurs,  TURN  THE  POWER  OFF,  empty  the 
hopper  and  check  the  feed  chute  to  see  what  is 

causing  the  jam.

 

ENSURE  THE  POWER  IS 

OFF. Remove any foreign material or object and 
restart the heater. CAUTION: Keep fingers and 
hands clear of the feed mechanism when heater 
is on. 
 

3.

 

Problem

: Pellet overfeed. 

Solution

:  When  the  pellets  are  overfeeding,  it 

usually  means  that  the  air  flow  has  been 
reduced. Check the fire pot air intake holes to be 
sure they are clear. Check to see if fire pot was 
properly  seated  in  the  pot  tray.  If  low-grade 
grade  pellets  are  used  and  clinkers  (fused  ash 
and dirt) form  in  the bottom  of the fire pot  and 
chock  the  air  intake,  consider  changing  the 
brand  of  pellets  to  one  that  burns  cleaner. 
Ensure  the  fire  is  out  before  removing  and 
cleaning  the  fire  pot. 

Never  vacuum  out  the 

heater  when  the  heater  is  in  operation.  The 
hot  ashes  can  lodge  in  your  vacuum  cleaner 
and  cause  a  fire

  Clean  the  heat  exchanger 

manifold (see FIGURE 12) regularly to ensure a 
good air to  fuel  ration, thus allowing the heater 
to  "breathe"  properly.

 

Check  the  tee  and  vent 

pipe  to  ensure  they  are  not  clogged  and  full  of 
ash. 

4.

 

Problem

: Soot is forming on the door glass. 

Solution

:  Black soot forming on the door  glass 

means  that  the  combustion  is  not  right  and  the 
heater  needs  to  be  cleaned.  Some  brands  of 
pellets  burn  much  richer  than  others,  try 
different  brands  of  pellets  and/or  have  the 
air/fuel settings  readjusted by  your dealer.   It is 
normal  to  have  the  glass  cloud  up  after  several 
hours  of  burning,  but  it  should  wipe  off  with  a 
good  window  cleaner.  If  the  glass  turns  black 
quickly, clean the heater thoroughly. 
 

5.

 

Problem

:  Heater  emitted  smoke  for  about  five 

minutes after power failure. 

Solution

:  If  the  heater  emits  smoke  during  a 

power  failure  and  frequent  power  failures  are
