Maintenance - cleaning the Feeder body
safety Features
The low draft sensor which is a vacuum differential switch, monitors the negative pressure (draft) in the firebox through a
port on the rear of the feeder. Poor draft will result in an interruption of power to the feeder motor. Poor draft can be caused
by blockage in the exhaust, excessive build-up on the combustion blower fan blades, a failed combustion blower, or a door
or other opening to the firebox not sealed properly. The circuit board is monitoring the position of this switch. During a feed
cycle, if this switch were to open, the feed motor light on the control will stay illuminated with the power being interrupted
by the switch. If the switch opens when the cycle is at rest, the power light for the feed motor will not illuminate. Be sure all
doors, including the hopper lid, are securely closed when operating the appliance.
