Reference Materials
7. Heat Exchangers
The heat exchangers transfer hot air from the exhaust system
into convecton air. Remove the stainless steel top baffle to
access the heat exchangers. There are 2 clean out rods
located under the heat exchangers.
8. Heat Output Switch
The heat output switch is located on the upper right rear
corner. The funtion of the heat ouput switch is to regulate
the burn rates; low, medium and high settings.
9. Igniter
The igniter is mounted on the base of the firepot. Combustion
air travels over the red hot igniter creating super heated air
that ignites the pellets.
10. Junction Box And Wiring Harness
The junction box is located on the right side of the appliance,
behind the right side panel. The junction box and wiring
harness are replaced as one component.
11. Power Supply
The power outlet is located on the lower right rear corner.
Check the wall receptacle for 120 volt, 60 Hz (standard
current). Make sure the outlet is grounded and has the correct
polarity. A good surge protector is recommended.
12. Red Call Light
The red call light is on the front of the junction box, behind
the control box. The function of the red call light is to indicate
that the thermostat is calling for heat.
13. Reset Button
The reset button is located on the back of the appliance on
the upper right corner of the side panel under the heat output
control switch. The function of the button is to momentarily
open the thermostat circuit, which restarts the system.
14. Thermocouple
The thermocouple is located on top of the firepot inside
the thermocouple cover (ceramic protection tube). The
thermocouple sends a millivolt signal to the control box
indicating the preset temperatures of the green and red lights
have been obtained.
15. Thermostat
The appliance is designed to run on a 12 volt AC thermostat.
The heat anticipator should be set on the lowest setting
available.
When describing the location of a component,
it is always AS YOU FACE THE FRONT OF
THE APPLIANCE.
2. Convection Blower
The convection blower is mounted at the bottom rear of the
appliance. There are 2 impellers, one on each side of the
motor. The convection blower pushes heated air through the
heat exchange system into the room.
3. Combustion Blower
The combustion blower is located on the right side of
appliance and is designed to pull the exhaust from the
appliance and push it out through the venting system.
4. Feed System
The feed system is located on the right side of the appliance
and can be removed as an entire assembly. The assembly
includes the feed motor, mounting bracket, bearing and feed
spring (auger). The hollow feed spring (auger) pulls pellets
up the feed tube from the hopper area and drops them down
the feed chute into the firepot.
5. Firepot
The firepot is made of high quality ductile iron and has a
cleaning pull-out rod. The floor of the firepot opens for
cleaning when you pull out the rod. Be sure that the floor
returns to a completely closed position or your appliance will
not operate properly.
6. Fuse
The fuse is located on the front of the junction box on the
right side of appliance. The fuse will blow should a short
occur and shut off power to the appliance.
NOTE:

warranty. FolIow proper shutdown procedures first if
you need to plug in or remove the control box.
1. Control Box
a. The control box is located on upper right side of
appliance, behind the right side panel and above the
vacuum switch.
b. There is a light located inside of the control box. The
internal light will turn green when the appliance has
reached a temperature of 175
ο
F (79°C) in the firepot.
and will turn red when it reaches 600
o
F (315°C).
c. There is also an internal blue light located in the upper
left corner of the control box. When you plug in the
appliance the blue light will automatically start blinking
4 times in a row for 60 seconds and then will stop.
