NORMAL AUTOMATIC OPERATION

When  power  is  turned  on  the  furnace  is  cold,  the 

draft will be closed. As the temperature in the fire box 

rises to approximately 100-120°F, the automatic draft 

opens allowing combustion air to enter the fire cham-

ber. As the temperature in the fire chamber rises, the 

automatic draft will begin its throttling process until 

it is completely closed, allowing maximum furnace 

idling. (When it reaches your desired setting low to 

high.)

As the outer heat jacket temperature rises past 105°F. 

The secondary fan (low speed) starts automatically 

and continues to operate until the fire burns down 

and the heat exchanger cools to approximately 90°F. 

This is adjustable.

The primary fan (high speed) will turn on automati-

cally provided the side jacket is at 105°F whenever 

the remote room thermostat is calling for heat. The 

fan will also turn on automatically if the plenum tem-

perature rises to the setting on the high limit switch 

(set at approximately 220°F.) and will continue to op-

erate until the temperature of the plenum has cooled 

down to approximately 100°F. The high limit is set at 

approximately 250°F. and if this temperature is ever 

obtained, the electronic control will be entirely de-en-

ergized and the automatic draft controller will close. 

Conditions will remain in this state until plenum tem-

perature has cooled with large fan running allowing 

the automatic high temperature cut-out switch to re-

set the controller.
If  this  condition  ever  occurs,  check  to  see  if  the 

damper from the plenum is closed or for any obstruc-

tions in the cool air return or in the air supply ducts 

and registers.
The display screen is furnished on the electric control 

to provide the following:
A.  The letters “O” and “P” will blink on and off and 

the beeper beeps intermittently when there is an 

open circuit in the thermocouple. The automatic 

draft will remain closed. Replace thermocouple.

B.  The capital letter “C” will be on the display when 

the fire chamber is cold (70-100°F) and this indi-

cates that the automatic draft damper is closed. 

To heat the fire chamber, start the fire with the ash 

pan door open, as soon as the capital letter “C” 

goes off CLOSE the ASH PAN door. The display 

screen will now show the number “3”.

C.  The  electronic  control  has  four  different  stages 

and the numbers “1”, “2”, “3”, and small letter “c” 

indicate how much air is entering the fire chamber.

D.  The  small  letter  “c”  will  appear  on  the  screen 

when  the  temperature  in  the  fire  chamber  has 

reached it’s optimum level. (Your low to high set-

ting.) Now the shutter is completely closed, the 

stove is now on what we call the pilot burn and 

will continue like this until the fire chamber cools 

down and then the control again takes over and 

will adjust the shutter opening based on the fire 

chamber temperature.

E.  When the temperature in the fire chamber is too 

high the letters “A” and “L” blink on and off and 

the  alarm  beeper  sounds  continuously.  If  this 

condition occurs, check the “TO DO” list located 

on the control.

F.  IF HI-TEMP ALARM GOES ON -  

TURN CONTROL POWER SWITCH OFF

 

CHECK  

WHAT TO DO

 

Is door dealing? 

 Adjust hinges and latches to ensure they 

are tight

 

Is draft = .03” - .06”? 

Adjust Barometric draft to lower setting

 

Is draft shutter closing?  Inspect draft shutter on motor box

 

Is wood too dry? 

Mix some wetter wood with dry wood

 

Are you reloading on 

Burn down excess coals before 

too many hot coals?
