TROUBLESHOOTING & FRQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The Insert is very trouble free in operation when properly maintained and quality fuel is used.
When the Insert fails to operate properly, troubleshooting by the operator of the Insert is limited.
Please read the following guide for answers to frequently asked questions
1.
When first starting your Ashby-P the auger tube is empty, which will delay feeding fuel to
the burn pot. This will in some cases prevent the Insert from starting.
Solution:
Prime the burn pot using the Auger Feed button if the auger tube is empty.
2.
My Insert keeps overloading the burnpot.
First check the Quality of your Fuel to make
sure you are using clean fuel. Otherwise this is mainly caused by improper combustion settings.
(See
Damper
Adjustment section of the Operations Manual) Besides the damper adjustment
there are several areas that can have an effect on the combustion process.
Solution:
Check all Gaskets, Doors and Door Latching Systems for air leaks. Any leaks in
these areas will negatively affect the burn process and cause the pot to overload.
3.
My Insert isn’t burning and the number 2 LED light is blinking.
This diagnostic light
indicates the vacuum switch no longer senses negative pressure in the firebox area of the Insert.
What caused the Insert to go out?

hold down the On/Off
button (approximately 5 seconds) until Insert
starts up again. This will re-start the Insert in the start-up program.
