When your stove acts out of the ordinary, the first reaction is to call for help. This guide may save time and money
by enabling you to solve simple problems yourself. Problems encountered are often the result of only five factors:
1) poor fuel; 2) poor operation or maintenance; 3) poor installation; 4) component failure; 5) factory defect. You
can usually solve those problems related to 1 and 2. Your dealer can solve problems relating to 3, 4 and 5. Refer
to diagrams on page 25 to help locate indicated parts.
For the sake of troubleshooting and using this guide to assist you, you should look at your heat level setting to see
which light is flashing.
• Disconnect the power cord before performing any maintenance! NOTE: Turning the ON/OFF Switch to "OFF"
does not disconnect all power to the electrical components of the stove.
• Never try to repair or replace any part of the stove unless instructions for doing so are given in this manual. All
other work should be done by a trained technician.

Possible Remedies: (Unplug stove first when possible)
Clean any dust off of the windings and fan blade. If
oiling the blower does not help, the blower may be
bad.
If operating the heater on the highest heat setting, the
room temperature could increase enough and lead
to potential overheating situations. If this happens try
operating at a lower heat setting.
This pellet stove is designed and tested to use wood
pellets. Check for signs of fuel other than wood pellets.
No other types of fuel have been approved for this
pellet stove. If there are signs of other types of fuel
being used, stop using them immediately.
A power surge, spike, or voltage drop could cause the
high limit switch to trip. Check to see if a surge protector
is being used on the stove. If not, recommend one to
the customer.
If the other items check out OK, replace the high limit
switch.
