8. CONTROL BOX
a. The Control Box plugs into the side of the Junction
Box. It is secured by a retainer bracket for shipping
purposes only. To access the Control Box, simply
bend the retainer bracket out of the way. After 2
or 3 bends, the bracket will break off. Discard the
broken piece. If the stove has just been plugged in
and the Combustion Blower does not start, check
Snap Disc #3, and double check to make sure the
stove is plugged in. Next, check the Control Box to

thermostat is calling for heat and the Red Call
Light is on.
b. If the light is on and there is no fire but there is
fuel in the firepot, push the Reset Button and
