Maintenance - cleaning the Feeder body

Pellet fines may accumulate in the feeder body over a period

of time; therefore, a yearly inspection and cleaning of this

area must be performed.
To clean out fines:
1. Remove the rear cover panels.
2. Remove wing nut and feeder cover on the side of the

feeder.

3. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove all fines.
4. Reinstall feed cover, wing nut, and rear cover panels.

safety Features

The low draft sensor which is a vacuum differential switch, monitors the negative pressure (draft) in the firebox through a

port on the rear of the feeder. Poor draft will result in an interruption of power to the feeder motor. Poor draft can be caused

by blockage in the exhaust, excessive build-up on the combustion blower fan blades, a failed combustion blower, or a door

or other opening to the firebox not sealed properly. The circuit board is monitoring the position of this switch. During a feed

cycle, if this switch were to open, the feed motor light on the control will stay illuminated with the power being interrupted

by the switch. If the switch opens when the cycle is at rest, the power light for the feed motor will not illuminate. Be sure all

doors, including the hopper lid, are securely closed when operating the appliance.
