The auger feed rate on each setting is pre-programmed but may be changed if necessary. The “Auger Trim”
button will override the programmed feed rates by +/-5% on all heat levels. To override the feed rate press
and hold the ‘Auger Trim’ button along with the heat level button arrow up or heat level button arrow down,
depending on desired change.
NOTE: In case of a power outage or interruption lasting longer than 5 seconds, the “On/Off” button
must be pushed and held for app. 6 seconds to re-engage the auger. If needed re-light the unit.
NOTE: If the fire is burning too fast and the fuel is being burned up too quickly, turn the air intake butterfly damper
closed a little to slow the fire down. This should be done in small 1/4” increments so that the fire doesn’t change too
quickly. You can also adjust the draft or auger trim to balance out the burn rate.
NOTE: When changing the heat levels there will be a delay so the system can complete the cycle before
switching to the new heat level.
NOTE: In case of a power outage, the pressure switch has tripped, the door has been opened, the
hopper door has been left open or any power interruption lasting longer than 5 seconds, the “On/Off”
button must be pushed and held for app. 6 seconds (or until you here a click) to re-engage the auger
system.
IMPORTANT: The circuit board will not function properly if the outlet is not a constant 120 volt, 60
cycle power source. The outlet must be grounded properly and have the correct polarity. A polarity
and ground tester can be picked up at any hardware store to assure proper operation. If you are using
a power generator, solar power or wind generation make sure that you have a constant correct power
source.
The unit’s electrical warranty would become void if a constant power source is not available. Also
make sure that a proper surge protector is between the unit and the power source. The circuit board
will not be warranted if there is not a surge protector installed to the unit.
It is strongly recommended that you unplug the power source during times when the unit is not being
operated to protect the unit from power surges, power spikes and drops in power. It is very common
for a circuit board to work when the unit is shut off in the spring and then won’t work in the fall.
Unplugging the unit will prevent this from happening.
