fl ooring, the appliance shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth.

2.4 GENERAL INFORMATION

4.5

2.4.1 FUEL

This appliance is designed to burn wood pellet fuel. In addition, a corn/wood pellet mixture with a maximum
50% corn can be burned. Burning any other fuel, that is not approved for use with this appliance, will void the
warranty.

Important: The corn/wood pellet mixture needs to be mixed evenly before being put into the hopper.

W415-0865 / B / 05.26.11

2.4.2 PELLET SPECIFICATIONS

IT IS IMPORTANT TO SELECT AND USE ONLY PELLETS THAT ARE DRY AND FREE OF DIRT OR ANY

IMPURITIES SUCH AS HIGH SALT CONTENT. DIRTY FUEL WILL ADVERSELY AFFECT THE OPERA-

TION AND PERFORMANCE OF THE APPLIANCE AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY. THE PELLET

FUEL INSTITUTE (P.F.I.) HAS ESTABLISHED STANDARDS FOR WOOD PELLET MANUFACTURERS.

WE RECOMMEND THE USE OF PELLETS THAT MEET OR EXCEED THESE STANDARDS. ASK YOUR

DEALER FOR A RECOMMENDED PELLET TYPE.

Pellet quality is important, please read the following:

Your Wolf Steel Ltd. Pellet Appliance has been designed to burn premium hard or soft wood pellets only. Do
not use any other type of fuel such as fi re logs or fi re starting pellets, as this will void the warranties stated in
this manual.

The performance and heat output of the pellet appliance is directly related to the quality and moisture of the
pellets. Store pellets in a cool dry area to prevent moisture absorption.

P.F.I. PELLET STANDARDS:

Fines (fi ne particles) 1% maximum through a 1/8" screen
Bulk Density 40 pound per cubic foot minimum
Size 1/4" to 5/16" diameter, 1/2" - 1 1/2" long maximum
Ash Content 1% maximum (Premium grade)

3% maximum (Standard grade)
Moisture Content 8% maximum
Heat Content Approximately 8200 BTU per pound minimum

!

WARNING

9

64.1

If the fuel does not comply to
this standard the appliance may
not operate as designed.
We recommend the use of pre­mium grade (1% ash content)
for longer appliance life and less
frequent cleaning.

2.4.3 CORN SPECIFICATIONS

Use only clean-shelled corn with a moisture content less than 15% and approximate fuel value of 7,000 BTU/
lb (16,200 kJ/kg). Do not attempt to burn corn with higher moisture content or burn lesser grade fuels. Do not
burn other types of agricultural pellets or by-products (alfalfa, cherry pits, olive pits, nut shells, etc.) as they are
not permitted to be burned in this appliance.

Corn must be clean and free of debris. Never burn corn right from the fi eld. Damage caused by dirty corn is
not covered by the Lifetime Limited Warranty. Ask for screened corn only. Stalk parts, excessive fi nes and
cob remnants will clog the air fl ow holes in the burn plate. Check the corn for foreign objects.

Use only a maximum 50% corn to pellet mixture.

2.4.4 SAFETY FEATURES

HIGH LIMIT SWITCH: Your appliance is equipped with a high limit switch. In the event that the temperature of
the appliance approaches an unsafe operating temperature, this switch will shut down the pellet feed, which
will eventually shut down the unit. If this happens, it is important to fi nd out why the unit overheated. Contact
your local dealer.

LOW LIMIT SWITCH: This switch will automatically shut down the appliance if the fi re goes out or fails to light
within 15 minutes.

HOPPER DOOR INTERLOCK: Your appliance is equipped with a micro switch in the hopper assembly that
shuts-off the auger when the hopper door is opened. Closing the door switches the auger back on, allowing
pellets to feed again.

VACUUM SWITCH: This switch will sense lack of air fl ow through the appliance and shut down the pellet feed.
This lack of fl ow could be caused by a blocked vent.

POWER FAILURE: In the event of a power failure, the appliance will shut down. Once power is restored, the
appliance will re-start, unless the convection air temperature has gone above the high limit switch setting. If
this happens, contact your local dealer.

2.4.5 EPA COMPLIANCE

This appliance is EPA exempt from Phase II
prerequisites, but complies with Oregon /
Washington emissions requirements.

3.0 INSTALLATION PLANNING

!

WARNING

READ ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE YOU INSTALL OR USE THIS APPLIANCE. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE

INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, BODILY INJURY OR EVEN DEATH.

USE ONLY WOLF STEEL APPROVED OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES AND REPLACEMENT PARTS WITH

THIS APPLIANCE. USING NON-LISTED ACCESSORIES AND REPLACEMENT PARTS (BLOWERS,

3.4 FLOOR PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS INSTALLATION

The appliance must be installed on a non-combustible fl oor protector extending the full depth of the appliance
and extending a minimum 6" in front and on either side (minimum .018" thick - 26 gauge) of the fuel loading
and ash removal openings.
The fl oor protector must extend under and 2" beyond each side and rear of a "Tee" (if used).

NOTE: Floor protection is required for spark and ash shielding, but not for limiting fl oor temperatures
from the radiant heat of the appliance. The appliance was designed and safety tested so that without
any protection, the fl oor would not overheat.

Refer to local building codes for suitable fl oor protection materials.

3.5 OUTSIDE AIR

Available from your Authorized Dealer (114KT)
Outside air must not be drawn from an enclosed space (garage, unventilated crawl space).

NOTE: Wolf Steel Ltd. strongly suggests using outside air for all residential installations, especially for
those that are energy effi cient, air-tight homes.

Outside air supply must not be over 15' long.

13

Outside air vents must be made with 1 3/4" diameter or larger metal or aluminum duct with a metal screen at­tached to the end to keep out rodents (P.V.C. or other materials may not be used).
The outside air inlet must not be above or within 12" of the chimney termination, must have a rain cap or down­turned elbow to prevent the water from entering and be located so that it will not become plugged by snow or
other material.

Outside air is required for all combustible built-in enclosure installations.

3.6 MOBILE HOME

THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE MANUFACTURED HOME FLOOR, WALL, AND CEILING ROOF

Installation into a manufactured home or mobile home should be installed in
accordance with the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard,
Title 24 CFR, Part 3280, in the United States or the Mobile Home Standard,
CAN/CSA Z240 MH Series, in Canada.

4.1 TYPE OF VENT

Must be an approved 3" or 4" diameter Type "L" or "PL" vent, vented to the outside or connect the vent to a
factory built type "A" chimney using an adaptor; and/or stainless steel chimney liner for masonry appliance in­stallations. Use 4" diameter vent if vent or liner height is over 15' or if installation is over 4,000' above sea level.

4.2 INSTALLING THE PELLET VENT

PELLET VENT MUST MAINTAIN A MINIMUM 3" CLEARANCE TO ANY COMBUSTIBLE (INSTALL VENT

AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY THE VENT MANUFACTURER).

DO NOT CONNECT THE PELLET VENT TO A VENT OR CHIMNEY SERVING ANY OTHER APPLIANCE

DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT.

!

WARNING

OR HEATER.

The vent must have a support bracket every 5’ when on
the exterior wall. To achieve optimum performance, keep
vent runs as short as possible, especially on horizontal
installations.

MAXIMUM VENTING: Maximum venting height is 33’.
Maximum horizontal vent run is 10’. Use no more than
180° of elbows (two 90’ elbows, or two 45’ elbows and
one 90’ elbow, etc), excluding the tee and the termination.

VENT INST ALLATION: Termination must exhaust above
the air inlet elevation, and parallel or above the exhaust
output of the pellet appliance. It is recommended that at
least 3’ of vertical pipe be installed to create some natural
draft. This is to help prevent the possibility of smoke or
odour entering the home during the appliance shut down
or in the event of a power outage. Horizontal sections
must have a 1/4” rise every 12” of travel if longer than 3’.

The pellet vent connections must be sealed with HI-Temp
RTV Silicone and screwed together with at least 3 3/8”
long stainless steel screws. Seal each vent section by
injecting a liberal amount of 500°F (260°C) RTV silicone
sealant into the gap. We recommend sealing the outside
of the vent connections to permit easier access when
servicing.

Use 4” diameter

4.4 PELLET VENT TERMINATION

The vent termination must have an approved cap (to prevent water from entering) or a 45° downturn.
If the termination is located on a windy side of the house, a shield is recommended to prevent soot from build­ing up on the side of the house.
Horizontal terminations must protrude 12" from the wall, vertical terminations require a minimum 24" above the
highest point that it penetrates through the roof.
Depending on pellet quality, vent confi guration and air settings, black soot may occur on the terminal wall.

8.0 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

8.1 PROPER PELLET LOADING

Before loading pellets into the hopper fi rst transfer the pellets from it’s original plastic bag to a metal bucket.
Keep in mind that the auger stops when the lid is opened. If the lid is opened for several minutes, the fi re may
extinguish.

NOTE: If the pellets are kept in the plastic bag, the bag may come in contact with the appliance causing
the bag to melt and the pellets to spill.
DO NOT load pellets into the hopper if they have been exposed to moisture. Moisture can cause pellets
to swell and cause blockage in the feed system. Thoroughly dry pellets before placing into hopper.

8.2 PRE-START CHECK

Before installing this appliance we recommend a “PRE-BURN” inspection to help burn off the odours that are
associated with the fi rst burn. If possible, move the appliance outside and add approximately 5 lbs of pellets
into the hopper. Plug the power cord into a typical wall receptacle.

The appliance is equipped with a control board that has been shipped in manual mode.

When fi rst starting a new pellet appliance, or when you completely empty the hopper of pellets you can press
and hold the prime button to get the pellets into the burn pot quicker.

● Slide the "ON/OFF" button to "ON":
This starts the ignition cycle.

29

47.10

● The auger comes on and runs for approximately 3 minutes.

● The igniter comes on and will stay on until proof of fi re determined by the appliance temperature.

● At anytime during the ignition cycle, once proof of fi re is met, the appliance goes into normal operating

mode.

NOTE: Flame should appear in the burn pot within 3 to 7 minutes from commencing the ignition cycle.
The ignition cycle should end in approximately 12 to 15 minutes. At this point adjustments to feed rate
can be made or the appliance will revert to the previous setting. If proof of fi re is not established in 15
minutes, the appliance will shut down and will need to be turned back on again. If the appliance shuts
down, empty the pellets from the burn pot into an empty non-combustible container and restart. Never
empty pellets from burn pot back into hopper.

8.3 LIGHTING APPLIANCE MANUALLY

!

APPLIANCE MAY BE HOT.

OTHER THAN PLACING A HANDFUL OF PELLETS IN THE BURN POT FOR LIGHTING MANUALLY,

NEVER FEED PELLETS THROUGH THE GLASS VIEWING DOOR. AN "OVERFIRE" CONDITION
COULD OCCUR, IF MORE PELLETS ENTER THE FIREBOX THAN WHAT THE FEED TUBE CAN

DELIVER. PELLETS MUST ONLY BE BURNED WITHIN THE BURN POT.

WARNING

NEVER USE GASOLINE TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR
SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR ‘FRESHEN UP’ A FIRE IN THIS APPLIANCE. KEEP ALL SUCH

LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM THE APPLIANCE WHILE IT IS IN USE.

Your appliance can be lit manually without using the automatic igniter by following the procedure below.

• Press the ON / OFF button.

• Place a “handful” of pellets into the burn pot.

• Cover with a small amount of approved (non-volatile) fi re starter gel.

• Light fi re starter with a match and close the viewing door.

8.4 LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

After fi lling the hopper with pellets, switch the control to manual so that you have full control of the appliance
until you have familiarized yourself with its functions.

Do not try to operate your appliance with the viewing door or hopper lid open. Safety switches will disable the
pellet feed auger.

A. Slide the "ON/OFF" button "ON" to initiate the ignition cycle.
B. Once the ignition cycle has ended (approximately 12 to 15 minutes) adjustments can be made to the

control.

PRIME

Pressing and holding this button will turn the auger continuously which increases the feed of pellets into the
burn pot. This is convenient when using the appliance for the fi rst time or when you have completely emptied
the hopper and need to restart the appliance.

W415-0865 / B / 05.26.11

8.6 CONTROL ADJUSTMENT

FEED TRIM

Both the combustion fan speed and the feed rate have been factory set but may need to be adjusted (trimmed)
on site. Due to the variables (i.e. vent size, length and pellet quality), the factory settings may not be ideal for
every installation. To help keep the fl ame from extinguishing on the minimum heat level, the feed rate can be
trimmed when in normal operation (after the 15 minute ignition cycle). Depress and hold the prime button while
you push the heat level button. This will slightly increase the amount of fuel being fed into the burn pot. When
trimming the feed rate for the fi rst time, the LED’s will display the (#3 and #1 light) indicating that the appliance
is factory set to (#2) with the ability to increase up one level (#3) or decrease down one level (#1) the length
of time between the prime cycle. NOTE: The light that isn't on indicates the trim setting of the appliance,

trimmed down, neutral or trimmed up.

BLOWER TRIM

Similar to the feed rate, it may be necessary to trim the speed of the
combustion blower. Due to specifi c installations, it may be necessary
to increase or decrease the amount of air moving through the burn pot
to achieve maximum effi ciency. In order to adjust the blower trim you
need access to the back of the control panel. Start by either removing
the side panel (pedestal) or behind the fl ashing (insert), using a small
screw driver turn the screw to adjust the blower (clockwise to increase/
counter-clockwise to decrease) and reinstall the panel / fl ashing that was
removed. NOTE: It is recommended to adjust the blower trim prior to

installing the insert.

8.7 INSTALLING A THERMOSTAT

31

BLOWER
TRIM

An optional millivolt thermostat is available to help keep the room tem­perature constant.

NOTE: The thermostat must be installed by a qualifi ed installer.

● Disconnect the power supply.

40.2

10.1.3 CARE OF GLASS

If the glass is not kept clean permanent discolouration and / or
blemishes may result. Normal operation of your pellet appliance
will produce a build-up on the glass that should be wiped off
daily. However, poor quality pellets or extended burning on the
low setting will cause the glass to “smoke up” faster.
Refer to “REPLACEMENT PARTS” section to fi nd out what this
product is equipped with. Use only replacement glass available
from your Authorized dealer.

DO NOT CLEAN GLASS WHEN HOT!

If necessary, clean the glass with a soft cloth or paper towel. You could use “wood stove” glass cleaner to

THE FOLLOWING SECTION DETAILS EXTENSIVE MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES. WE STRONGLY SUGGEST

THESE ITEMS BE CARRIED OUT BY A TRAINED SERVICE TECHNICIAN, POSSIBLY BY A SERVICE AGREEMENT

SET UP WITH YOUR DEALER.

NOTE: More frequent cleaning may be required depending on pellet quality.

10.3.1 VACUUM HOPPER

The more frequently you clean out the fl y ash, the more effi cient your
appliance will burn.

A. Operate the appliance until the pellets run out, then open the hopper

and vacuum out the entire hopper.

40.15

The dust and any other debris near the bottom should be removed to

prevent excessive build-up.

10.3.2 SOOT AND FLY ASH FORMATION

The products of combustion will contain small particles of fl y ash. The fl y ash will collect in the exhaust venting
system and restrict the fl ow of the fl ue gases. Incomplete combustion occurs during startup, shutdown, or
incorrect operation of the room appliance will lead to some soot formation which will collect in the exhaust
venting system. The exhaust venting system should be inspected at least once every year to determine if
cleaning is necessary.

10.3.3 CLEAN THE VERTICAL EXHAUST DUCT

A. Pivot the viewing door wide open.

B. Remove the one screw on each exhaust port located

on either side of the fi re box. Remove the exhaust port
doors and set aside on a non-combustible surface.

Insert a vacuum into the exhaust port holes and remove as
much fl y ash as possible from behind the left and right exhaust
manifolds. Do not use a household vacuum to clean the
appliance. We recommend that you use a shop vacuum that is
equipped with a fi ne dust fi lter or a vacuum specifi cally made
for ashes and soot. Using a vacuum which is not equipped with
a fi ne dust fi lter may clog and disperse fl y ash and soot into the
room. NOTE: The appliance must be completely out before you vacuum the appliance. Live pellets, if

sucked into the vacuum will light the vacuum on fi re and may ultimately cause a house fi re.

10.3.5 CHECK ALL SEALS

Check for air leaks around the door, glass, and ash pan and replace gaskets as required.

Air leaks into the fi rebox will decrease the appliance’s performance greatly, leading to excessive soot,
ineffi cient burning, and may even cause a malfunction.

Test the door seal by shutting the door on a piece of paper in various locations. If the paper can be easily slid
out, air may be leaking around the door seal. Carefully inspect the door gasket and door catch.

Inspect the door gasket to make sure it is fully attached. Appliance gasket cement can be used to re-attach if
necessary. If the door gasket is worn or fl attened, replace.

Check the door to make sure it latches correctly. The latch should engage with a slight amount of resistance,
yet not be too diffi cult.

If the glass is cracked, replace.

!

WARNING

DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD PRIOR TO CONDUCTING SERVICE.

Make sure the cap is free of
debris (especially if it has a
screen that could become
blocked).

Check the vent sections for
creosote accumulation
(indicating a poorly burning
stove). Accumulation
greater than 1/4" must be
removed.

On vertically vented
systems, the dirtiest portion
is often the point where the
vent turns upwards (ex. the
"Tee"). Remove the clean
vent cover and inspect and
clean if necessary.

40.13

Occasionally damp fuel or foreign objects could get jammed in the auger screw. When this occurs it will be
necessary to empty the hopper and/or remove the auger screw from the hopper assembly.

Start by emptying the pellets from the hopper. Sometimes the object causing the auger screw not to turn will be
visible once the hopper has been emptied. If it is necessary to remove the auger screw start by removing both
of the side panels and the rear panel. Locate the auger motor, remove the set screw that secures the motor to
the auger screw. Remove the two hex bolts from the auger housing which will allow the auger screw to slide out.
After you have removed the shaft, inspect it for bent fl ights, burrs, or broken welds. Remove any foreign material
that might have caused the jam. Also, check the auger tube for signs of damage such as burrs, rough spots, or
grooves cut into the metal that could have caused a jam.

REPLACING COMPONENTS, UNPLUG APPLIANCE FROM THE RECEPTACLE TO PREVENT ELECTRI-

CAL SHOCK OR DAMAGE TO THE COMPONENT.

NOTE: Many of the following tests will require that the side panels are removed from the appliance
or the insert be removed from its cavity to access the components. Before troubleshooting always
confi rm that all components are clean and free of ash build up.

PROBLEM SOLUTION

The appliance will
not start.
Check the vacuum
switch.
Check the ignitor
switch.

Smoke in the
room.

The exhaust
blower is not
operating.

- Make certain there is power to the outlet and that the appliance is plugged in.

- Hopper lid must be closed.

- The appliance ran out of fuel while set on ‘AUTO’. Appliance must be turned ‘OFF’
and set to ‘MANUAL’ to ‘AUTO’ if desired.

- Press ‘PRIME’ on control panel to feed pellets into burnpot until you see pellets start
to drop into the burpot.

- Start the appliance. If the appliance fails to start, unplug the appliance.

- With the appliance unplugged, examine all connections. Make sure no exposed wires
are touching the appliance (except the chassis ground wire) and that they are all
fi rmly connected.

- Check the manual reset hi limit switch.

- Check the stability and placement of connections against the wiring diagrams in this
manual.

- Check that the burn pot is positioned properly.

- The auger shaft may be jammed. For more information see “IN THE EVENT OF A
JAMMED AUGER” section.

- Blockage in igniter tube or inlet for igniter tube. Find the igniter housing on the back
side of the fi re wall. The air intake hole is a small hole located on the side of the
housing. Make sure it is clear. Also, look from the front of the appliance to make sure
there is not any debris around the igniter element inside of the igniter housing.

- Ensure the burnpot is seated completely into the burner housing.

- Defective igniter. Put power directly to the igniter. Watch the tip of the igniter from the
front of the appliance. After about 2 minutes the tip should glow. If it does not, the
igniter is defective.

- The control board might not be sending power to the igniter. Check the voltage going
to the igniter during startup. It should be a full current (115 volts). If the voltage is lower
than full current, check the wiring. If the wiring checks good, the board is defective.

- Contact your local dealer for service.

- Check all gasket seals.

- Check that the vent connections are sealed.

- Power failure.

- Appliance has failed to reach 140°F within 15 minutes and the blower has shut off.

- Remove the left side access panel and check all connections against the wiring
diagram. For the insert remove from cavity.

- Apply 115V AC directly to the exhaust blower and if the motor does not run, replace
the blower.

- If the motor runs, have a dealer check the wire harness.

- See “The appliance will not operate when hot” section

- Contact your local dealer or a certifi ed technician for service.

PROBLEM SOLUTION

The ignitor will not light
the pellets however
everything else in the
appliance operates.

The auger motor is not
functioning normally.

The appliance will not
operate when hot.

The appliance will not
turn off.

The 200°F (93°)
high limit temperature
sensor has tripped.

The convection blower
is not functioning
normally.

- Poor quality or damp pellets take longer to light.

- Push the burn pot back against the ignitor tube making sure the ignitor lines up to
the hole in the burn pot.

- Check igniter function.

- Hopper lid must be closed.

- Make certain the exhaust blower is operating.

- Check the condition of the vacuum hose (located on the left side of the
appliance). Should not be cracked or torn.

- Check the manual reset button on the 200°F (93°C) temperature sensor. Before
re-setting the red button, check for the cause of the over-heating.

- Check that the auger set screw is tight and not slipping.

- If the auger still does not work, then apply 115V AC directly to the auger motor. If
it still does not work, replace it.

- Check the auger by bypassing the 200°F (93°) temperature sensor with a jumper
wire. If auger works, replace the sensor.

- The auger shaft may be jammed. For more information see “IN THE EVENT OF
JAMMED AUGER” section.

- Check the vacuum sensor by placing a jumper wire between the grey wire and
the red wire that are attached to the sensor. If the auger works, test to see if the
exhaust blower is producing enough vacuum (may require cleaning).

- If not, replace the vacuum sensor.

- GENERAL

- Check the hopper for fuel.

- Different vent confi gurations may cause excessive air to consume the fi re
too quickly before the next drop of fuel. Therefore leaving the fuel completely
unburned in the burn pot and will cause the fuel to burn cold and very slowly. Fuel
also may build up and smother the fi re.

- NOTE: The appliance may require a change to the vent system or
installation of fresh air to correct air to fuel ratio problems.

- Combustion blower failure may occur because it is not turning fast enough to
generate the proper vacuum in the fi re box. Do a visual check to see if the motor
is turning.

- Check vacuum levels in the exhaust channel by bypassing the vacuum switch,
then remove the vacuum hose from vacuum switch. When checking the vacuum
exhaust place the open end of the vacuum hose on the gauge (readings must be
above 0.10” W.C. on low fi re). Ensure blower blades are clean.

- NOTE: if the motor fails to reach a 0.10” W.C., then replace the combustion
blower.

- Poor quality fuel may not produce enough heat to keep the appliance burning or
operational.

- If the exhaust temperature sensor fails try bypassing the sensor located on the
exhaust blower. If the appliance operates properly, the appliance may require
cleaning or a new sensor. Contact your local deal for service.

- Disconnect one of the brown wires from the exhaust temperature sensor and if
the appliance continues to operate, contact your local dealer for service.

- Clean any dust off the windings and blower blades. If cleaning the blower does
not help, the blower may be defective.

- Contact your local authorized dealer / distributor.

- Using the wiring diagram, compare all the connections between the control and
the convection blower.

- If the convection motor will not run, apply 115V AC to the motor directly. Replace
the control if the motor runs. The convection blower has failed if the motor does
not run. Replace the blower.

- The convection blower is overheating and tripping the high limit switch. Try
lubricating the convection blower. Also, clean any dust off of the windings and
blower blades. If oiling the blower does not help, the blower may be defective.

42.15_2C

W415-0865 / B / 05.26.11

PROBLEM SOLUTION

The appliance
keeps going out.

Excessive carbon
build up in the
fi rebox, low heat
output.

Appliance is
burning dirty and
lazy.

The low limit
temperature sensor
has tripped.
Check that
your low burn is
consistent.

The vacuum
switch has been
tripped.

- Due to different installation set ups, length and size of venting and fuel quality, the
low feed setting from the factory will not always be correct. It may be necessary to
experiment with feed rate vs air control.

- If the appliance goes out and leaves fresh unburned pellets or cigarette-like ashes in
the burn pot, the fi re is going out before the appliance shuts off.

- Check to see if the appliance needs a more complete cleaning as well as the burn
pot, venting, etc...

- Was there a power failure?

- Trim feed rate and exhaust blower speed.

- If the appliance goes out and there are no pellets in the burn pot, the auger may be
slipping. See “THE AUGER MOTOR WILL NOT FUNCTION NORMALLY” and “THE
EXHAUST BLOWER WILL NOT FUNCTION NORMALLY” section.

- Check quality of pellets. Even pellets from the same manufacturer can vary in quality
since the materials they use to form pellets may also vary.

- Moisture content of pellets too high. Pellets must be stored in a dry place. Areas such
as a garage are too damp causing pellets to absorb moisture.

- Trim feed rate and exhaust blower speed.

- Check that all exhaust and intake pathways are clear of any obstructions.

- Burn pot is clean.

- Pellets are dry.

- Venting and terminal are clear of obstructions.

- Exhaust blower is operating and is clean.

- The trim setting could be too low. Press and hold the prime button and advance it to
the next trim setting.

- It is normal for the glass on pellet burning appliance to accumulate a tan colour build­up of fl y ash. Burning on the low settings will produce a darker colour. A heavy dark
build-up could indicate a problem. See “CARE OF GLASS” section.

- Temporarily bypass the low limit switch by disconnecting the two wires and
connecting them together with a short piece of wire. Then plug the appliance back in.
If the appliance comes back on and works, you need to replace the low limit switch.
This is for testing only. DO NOT LEAVE THE SWITCH BYPASSED. Your blowers will
never shut off and if the fi re went out the auger will continue to feed pellets until the
hopper is empty if you leave the low limit switch bypassed.

- If the fuse on the control board has blown, remove the fuse. If the fuse appears to be defective,
replace it with a 5 Amp 250 Volt fuse. Plug the appliance back in and try to run the appliance.

- Vacuum hose or fi ttings may be blocked. Unhook the hose from the vacuum switch and
blow through it. If air fl ows freely, the hose and tube are fi ne. If air will not fl ow through the
hose, use a wire coat hanger to clear the blockage.

- If the air inlet, burnpot, interior combustion air chambers, combustion blower, or exhaust
pipe are blocked with ash or foreign material, then follow all cleaning procedures in the
maintenance of the manual.

- The fi rebox might not be properly sealed. Make sure the door is closed and that the gasket
is in good shape.

- Make sure the vent pipe is installed correctly.

- The vacuum switch wire connections might be bad. Check the connectors that attach the
blue wires to the vacuum switch.

- The gray wires are pulled loose at the connector on the wiring harness. Check to see if the
blue wires are loose at the connector.

- Combustion blower failure. With the appliance on, check to see if the combustion blower is
running. If it is not, you will need to check for power going to the combustion blower. It should
be at 115 Volts. If there is power, the blower is defective. If there is not, see the next step.

- Control board not sending power to the combustion blower. If there is no current going to
the combustion blower, check all wire connections. If all wires are properly connected, you
have a defective control board.

- Control board not sending power to vacuum switch. There should be a 5 Volt current
(approx.) going to the vacuum switch after the appliance has been on for 30 seconds.

- Vacuum switch has failed (very rare). To test the vacuum switch, you will need to disconnect the
air hose from the body of the appliance. With the other end still attached to the vacuum switch,
very gently suck on the loose end of the hose (you may want to remove the hose entirely off the
appliance and the vacuum switch fi rst and make sure it is clear). If you hear a click, the vacuum
switch is working. BE CAREFUL, TOO MUCH VACUUM CAN DAMAGE THE VACUUM SWITCH.
