12).
(See FIGURE 16 for routine stove clean-
out and maintenance.)
3.
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
