NOTE: IF THE HOPPER AUGER MOTOR FAILED OR THE HOPPER AUGER IS JAMMED,
TO AVOID PELLET SPILLAGE, EMPTY THE HOPPER OF ITS CONTENTS BEFORE

The "thermistor" is a heat sensor located on the
exhaust motor housing. Its function is to tell the
control board that the stove has ignited properly by
measuring the heat at the exhaust. The pellet stove
will not start feeding pellets at the desired heat
setting until it has received a signal from the
thermistor heat sensor.
sensor is faulty, the unit will stop after the ignition
cycle. To display the temperature reading from the
thermistor press and hold the + and auger buttons
for 3 seconds. Confirm that the value displayed is
equal to the ambient temperature in the room where
the appliance is installed. If this is the case, turn on
the stove and check the same temperature display.
If after 10 minutes, the value has not increased
despite the unit is in operation this means that the
temperature sensor is disconnected or defective. If
the temperature rises, the problem may be with the
feed rate or pilot mode. Depending on many factors
(ambient temperature, pellet quality, etc) the heat
produced by the stove may not be sufficient to keep
the exhaust temperature high enough. To resolve
the situation increase feed rate (see Section 5.2.1:
Selecting the Combustion Level (Heat Rate)).
