Cause:
The Furnace did not establish a vacuum
and shut down. With the fuel in the pot
burning, the smoke finds the path of least resistance and leaks out into the house.
(See Installation Manual. Minimum vertical height needed, to establish some
natural draft and prevent smoke spillage)
Solution:
Pull the Slide-Out Bottom out and drop the fuel into the ash pan. This will
minimize the amount of smoke that can spill into the room.

I turned the Furnace on with the On/Off switch and nothing happens.
First check to see if
the Furnace is plugged in and the receptacle has power to it.
Solution:
Check the fuses on the back of the control board. F2 is the fuse for power in to the
board. Replace with a 250 Volt, 5 Amp fuse.
9.
I turned the Furnace on with the On/Off switch and the board lights up and the fans come
on, but the auger doesn’t feed any fuel
.
Solution:
Check the F1 fuse on the back of the control board. This fuse runs the Auger
circuit only. Replace with a 250 Volt, 5 Amp fuse.

Why is my glass dirty?
Normal operation of your St. Croix Furnace will produce a white build-
up on the glass that wipes off with a dry paper towel. However extended burning on the low
setting only will produce a light tan color. These types of build-up on the glass are normal. A
heavy black build-up on the glass could indicate a problem.
Solution:
Adjust the combustion air setting to the proper setting. If this doesn’t seem to
help, make sure the clean out cover plates are installed in the Furnace. It also
could be an indication that the Furnace is getting plugged and needs a good
cleaning. Refer to the section in the manual that covers the Daily, Periodic and
Yearly Maintenance of the Furnace.

How do I
adjust my Pilot feed rate settings (#1 setting)?
Not all fuel burns at the same rate.
The moisture content of corn, wheat or rye greatly influences how it burns. Burning Pellets
requires adjustments to the low burn to prevent Creosote from forming. Following is a
description of the function of the Feed Trim button.
Solution:
The Feed Trim button on the control board allows the feed rate on #1 (Pilot
setting) to be increased or decreased. Different types of fuel and the way the
Furnace is installed will affect the low burn and needs attention during the break-
in period of the Furnace.
