Reference Materials

A. Component Functions
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°F (79°C) in the fire pot
and will turn red when it reaches 600°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
6 times in a row for 60 seconds and then will stop.
NOTE:
Do NOT open the control box. This will void the
warranty. If you need to plug in or remove the control
box you must first unplug 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 fire pot.
5. Fire pot
The fire pot is made of high quality ductile iron and has a
cleaning pull-out rod. The floor of the fire pot 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.
7. Heat Exchangers
The heat exchangers transfer hot air from the exhaust system
into convection air. Remove the stainless steel top baffle to
access the heat exchangers. There are 2 clean out rods
located under the heat exchangers.

When describing the location of a component,
it is always AS YOU FACE THE FRONT OF
THE APPLIANCE.
8. Heat Output Switch
The heat output switch is located on the upper right rear
corner. The function of the heat output switch is to regulate
the burn rates; low, medium and high settings.
9. Hopper Switch
The hopper switch is located in the upper right hand corner
of the hopper. This switch is designed to shut down the feed
motor whenever the hopper lid is opened.
10. Igniter
The igniter is mounted on the base of the fire pot. Combustion
air travels over the red hot igniter creating super heated air
that ignites the pellets.
11. 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.
12. Power Supply
The power outlet is located on the lower right side of the
appliance on the front of the junction box. 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. When operating with a
generator you need a least 600 watts of power, or with an
inverter at least 800 watts of power available for the appliance
during the start cycle.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. Thermocouple
The thermocouple is located on top of the fire pot 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.
16. Thermostat
The appliance is designed to run on a 5 volt DC thermostat.
The heat anticipator should be set on the lowest setting
available.
