The convection snap disk completes the electrical circuit to the convection blower once the heater becomes
warm enough (120
°
on the exhaust box). Follow the directions below to check this component.
To check the convection
snap disk, remove it and
perform a continuity test. It
should not show continuity
until it is heated. The
convection snap disk should
show continuity when it is
heated to 120
°
(3 to 10
seconds underneath a
lighter). You can also listen
for a "click".

Make sure the back

comes in contact

necessary).
A
IR CONTROL TOO FAR IN
The following section is an excerpt from the owner's manual that explains air control
settings. Make sure the customer fully understands the air control and its importance.
The air control adjusts the amount of air entering the firepot. It is extremely important to adjust it correctly. It
must be adjusted every time the burn rate is changed or when using different pellets. With the Burn Rate set
to a particular setting, look into the firepot and check the flame. Ideally, the pellets should be agitating
slightly, with an occasional ember flying up and a bright, jagged, yellow flame.
È
If the pellets aren't moving and no embers are jumping out of the firepot, and the flame is dark
orange with black tips (see drawing "A" below), pull the A
IR
C
ONTROL
out 1/2". Check again.
È
If the pellets are moving vigorously with many burning pellets jumping out of the firepot (see
drawing "B" below) push the A
IR
C
ONTROL
in 1/2". Check again.
È
If the pellets are moving slightly with some embers jumping out of the firepot, and the flame is
bright, jagged, and yellow, (see drawing "C" below) the A
IR
C
ONTROL
is set correctly.
Generally, the higher the B

, the farther out the A
IR
C
ONTROL
must be set.

NOTE
:
Every batch of pellets may be different. Certain pellets will be heavier and less likely to move
inside the firepot. Some pellets will be wet, and take longer to burn. While other pellets will be
"dirtier" and produce a darker smoke. Pellets will even vary from bag to bag. If uncertain on
where to set the Air Control, it is best to pull the Air Control out too far than to push it in too far.
HINT
:
Generally, the label on the Air Control should be showing RED on HIGH, ORANGE on
MEDIUM, and YELLOW on LOW.
