Make sure the auger motor wiring is properly
connected and not shorted.
Possible Remedies:
Inspect all vent connections. This is a
pressurized venting
connector joints must be sealed and fastened
in accordance
manufacturer's instructions
consistent performance and avoid smoke and
ash spillage (see Section 4.5.1: Installation
Warnings,
Recommendations Reminder).
Gaskets may be allowing smoke spillage
(doors, clean out traps, etc). Make sure that
all gaskets are in good condition and replace
them with original parts if necessary. Make
sure the door is well adjusted (see Section
7.1.9: Door Adjustment).
A faint wood-burning odor during ignition or
shut down is normal. Although, if this
increases beyond what is considered normal
or if you notice an unusual soot build-up on
walls or furniture, check your venting system
carefully for leaks and make sure all gaskets
are in good condition. The stove exhaust
blower produces a negative pressure in the
room. It draws air from the inside of the room,
through the stove and then outdoors. In the
same manner, other appliances can also
create a larger negative pressure. In this
case, as the air naturally flows from a high
pressure point to a low pressure point, a
larger negative pressure can draw smoke
from the inside of the stove into the room.
The stove can also be affected by other
mechanical ventilation systems, causing the
same effect as mentioned previously. Using a
fresh air intake will prevent negative pressure
(see Appendix E: Combustion Air supply).
Also, make sure
maintenance schedule has been followed.
