TAMPER WARNING
This wood heater has a manufacturer-set minimum
low burn rate that must not be altered. It is against
federal regulations to alter this setting or otherwise
operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent
with operating instructions in this manual.
SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE
WARNING:
NEVER SHUT DOWN THIS UNIT BY UNPLUGGING
IT FROM THE POWER SOURCE.
Turning your stove off is a matter of pressing the
“POWER” button on the display board. The green
light will turn back to red when the “POWER”
button is pushed. The auger motor will stop, and the
blowers will continue to operate until the internal
firebox temperatures have fallen to a preset level.
1.
Your stove is equipped with a high temperature
thermodisc. This unit has a manual reset
thermodisc. This safety switch has two functions.
A. To recognize an overheat situation in the stove
and shut down the fuel feed or auger system.
B. In case of a malfunctioning convection
blower, the high-temperature thermodisc will
automatically shut down the auger, preventing
the stove from overheating.
NOTE: On some units, once tripped, like a circuit
breaker, the reset button will have to be pushed
before restarting your stove. On other units the
thermodisc has no reset button and will reset
itself once the stove has cooled. The manufacturer
recommends that you call your dealer if this occurs
as this may indicate a more serious problem. A
service call may be required.
2.
If the combustion blower fails, an air pressure
switch will automatically shut down the auger.
NOTE: Opening the stove door for more than
30 seconds during operation will cause enough
pressure change to activate the air switch, shutting
the fuel feed off. The stove will shut down and show
“E2” on the two digit display. The stove has to fully
shut down before restarting.
INTERIOR CHAMBERS
•
Burn Pot -
Periodically remove and clean the burn
pot and the area inside the burn pot housing. In
particular, it is advisable to clean out the holes in
the burn pot to remove any build up that may
prevent air from moving through the burn pot
freely.
Over time ash or dust may accumulate on the blades
of the circulation & exhaust fans. The fans should
be inspected, periodically, and if any accumulation
is present vacuumed clean as the ash or dust can
impede the fans performance. It is also possible
that creosote may accumulate in the exhaust fan
therefore, this must be brushed clean. The exhaust
fan can be found behind the left side panel (facing
the front of the heater), the circulation fan can
be found behind the right side panel. To access
the igniter, remove the air inlet tube and cover (2
screws). The auger motor is located in the center
rear of the unit. Note: When cleaning, take care not
to damage the fan blades.
If a vacuum is used to clean your stove, we suggest
using the AV15E AshVac vacuum. The AV15E AshVac
is designed for ash removal. Some regular vacuum
cleaner (i.e. shop vacs) may leak ash into the room.
DO NOT VACUUM HOT ASH.
