Reference Materials

A. Component Functions
1. Control Box
a. The control box is located under a small cover in
the right rear corner of the inside of the hopper.
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 200°F (93°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 1 blink every 10 seconds for the first
60 seconds and then will stop.
Do NOT open the control box. This will void the
NOTE:
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 (Exhaust) Blower
The combustion blower is mounted on the lower left
side on rear of appliance. The blower 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 in the hopper under the
feed motor cover box on the left 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 the 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. Lift the appliance top 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
side panel. 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 interior shield. The junction box
and wiring harness are replaced as one component.
12. Power Supply
The power outlet is located on the back of the
appliance, lower right corner. 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.
13. Red Call Light
The red call light is on the front of the junction box, next
to the reset button. 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 right side of the
appliance next to the red call light. 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 12 volt AC
thermostat. The heat anticipator should be set on the
lowest setting available.
17. Snap Disc #1 (Convection Blower) 145°F
Snap disc #1 is located on the right side of the
appliance on the top of the heat exchanger box. There
are 2 purple wires connected to it. This snap disc turns
the convection blower on and off as needed. Power is
always present at snap disc #1.
