I.
Pushing the start switch to “on” will trigger an alternating red and
yellow flashing, changing to a “steady” yellow in a few seconds.
During this initial flashing the unit is doing a self test to insure all
critical components are in working order. The steady yellow
means that voltage at the unit is sufficient for the unit to start and
the glow plug is “on”.
II.
A flickering or flashing yellow light ONLY means voltage is NOT
sufficient to start the unit. Check all the power line connections
for tight crimps on the wire and tight connects to the power
source. Check the power source for voltage that is AT LEAST
12.6v. Check the voltage at the white power plug.
III.
A persistent, simultaneous flashing of BOTH red and yellow lights
means the units is “locked up” from more than two unsuccessful
starts. This is an intentional indication, not a failure. To unlock the
machine:
a.
Leave the power switch in the “on” position.
b.
Disconnect the main power supply in some way:
i.
Pull the fuse or,
ii.
Pull the plug out of the stove or,
iii.
Disconnect the battery wire or,
iv.
Some other way specific to your application
c.
Reconnect power
d.
Turn power switch off
e.
Turn power switch back on to start stove.
IV.
A solid yellow light accompanied by a uniformly flashing red light
means the unit is in “after cooling.” Basically this means the unit
did not start on the last try or the power was disconnected
before the after cooling cycle (about 3 minutes) was
completed. Turn off the switch and wait for the flashing red to
stop before restarting.
If you get a solid yellow light and no flashing red, the unit is now in the start
mode. At this time the lid motor and the combustion motors under the
cook top will start running. You should be able to hear both of them, and
feel the cool air coming from under the lid, and a steady flow of air out
the exhaust. At the same time the glow plug inside the cook-top is
starting to preheat. At the 35 second point after the start cycle has
