OPERATION Control Board The control board regulates all functions of the insert. The following is a list of the board’s components: • Feeding light - lights up when the auger is feeding pellets into the burn pot. • Ready Light - lights up when insert is ready to operate. Igniting Light - lights up when the insert is in the ignition sequence.
Corn Fuel Shelled corn can be burned in the Winslow PI40 insert when it is mixed with wood pellet fuel (see Fuel Specifications on Page 5). The mixture can contain a maximum of 50 percent corn. Burning corn may create more ash than wood pellets and may necessitate the need to clean the burn pot and glass more frequently.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE IMPORTANT CAUTIONS: • UNPLUG POWER CORD AND ENSURE APPLIANCE IS COLD BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE WORK. • Some brands of pellets produce more ash and clinkers than others. Therefore the frequency of performing the following cleaning procedures depends to a great degree on the quality of the pellets burned.
Flue Passageways Cleaning Procedure 1. Open both the right and left side door to locate side flue passageways (see Figure 36A). 2. There is one upper and one lower, 1” x 2”, flue passageways on both the left and right sides (see Figures 36A, 36B and 36C). 3.
Figure 37 Figure 38 Removing the Ash from the Firebox CAUTION: Do not remove the ash when the insert or ash is hot. To remove the ash, swing open the left and right side doors and open the front door. Vacuum or scoop out the ash on the bottom and side of the firebox.
Hopper Lid Figure 40 Front Door Opening and Removal CAUTION: Do not open the front door when the insert is hot. To remove the door, swing the left and right side doors A open. Pull the front door handle B to the front and swing the front door open. Lift the front door up and off the hinges as shown in Figure 41 (see C).
Vacuum Switch The Winslow PI40 insert has a vacuum switch located behind the left door, fastened to the base (see A in Figure 44). If there is a leak in the firebox created by the front door being ajar or a blocked flue, the vacuum switch will sense it and cause the insert to go into a shutdown mode.
Draft Adjuster The Winslow™ PI40 insert has a draft adjuster located at the right side of the insert directly in front of the combustion blower. Should the insert installation require long runs of vent pipe, a situation may be created where excessive combustion air is flowing through the firebox and caus- ing the fuel to burn faster than it can be delivered to the burn pot.
DIAGNOSTIC CODES If the insert operates abnormally, the ready light on the control board will signal the nature of the abnormal operation. The following is a list of pos- sible signals or codes: Ready light is constant red Ready light flashes red 1 short and 1 long blink Ready light flashes red short blinks Ready light flashes red long blinks Troubleshooting...
