Disconnect the power cord before performing any maintenance! NOTE: Turning the ON/OFF Switch to ”OFF”
does not disconnect all power to the electrical components of the stove.

Never try to repair or replace any part of the stove unless instructions for doing so are given in this manual. All
other work should be done by a trained technician.
PROBLEM
CAUSE: To rich air/fuel mixture
Orange, lazy flame
excessive fuel build-up
in the burnpot
• Clean out the burnpot and burnpot housing
•
Make sure that the viewing door is closed and sealed properly. If not, adjust door catch and/
or replace door gaskets.
• Check that all outside connections are clear of any obstructions.
•
Check the exhaust system; clean as needed.
PROBLEM
CAUSE: Burnpot burns out of fuel
Fire goes out or stove

•
Loss of draft pressure. Make sure that the viewing door is closed and sealed properly. If not,
adjust door catch and/or replace door gaskets. Check that all outside connections are clear
of any obstructions. Check the exhaust system; clean as needed.
•
Check that the pressure switch connection to the firebox is free of ash or clear of obstructions.
•
Auger system is jammed or there is a “bridging” of the fuel in the hopper, preventing fuel from
flowing into the auger feed system.
PROBLEM
CAUSE: Auto-Start Igniter fails to ignite the fuel in the burn pot.
Stove does not start
a fire when the “ON”
button is pushed
•
Turn the stove “OFF”. Clear the unburned fuel from the burnpot and try again.

•
Loss of draft pressure. Make sure that the viewing door is closed and sealed properly. If not,
adjust door catch and/or replace door gaskets. Check that all outside connections are clear

the burnpot on the back wall of the firebox.)
•
Check that the pressure switch connection to the firebox is free of ash or clear of obstructions.

The auto-start igniter gets “red hot” during start-up. If you can not visibly see the igniter
glowing during start-up, then the igniter may need to be replaced or there is a problem with
the electrical control system.
