    TROUBLESHOOTING & FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS The Stove is very trouble free in operation when properly maintained and quality fuel is used. When the Stove fails to operate properly, troubleshooting by the operator of the Stove is limited. Please read the following guide for answers to frequently asked questions Questions: When first starting the Stove the auger tube is empty, this will delay feeding fuel to the burn pot.
  • Page 60 Solution: Too much Combustion Air on the pilot setting. Adjust the air damper. (See section covering an Unbalanced Burnpot). Corn/Pellets would still feed until the P.O.F. switch eventually shuts the Stove down. Adjust the damper. (See Damper Adjustment in the Operations Manual) A power Failure could also cause this.
  • Page 61 Turn the Thermostat up to see if the stove on. Why is my glass dirty? Normal operation of your St. Croix Corn/Pellet Stove will produce a white build-up on the glass that wipes off with a dry paper towel. However extended burning on the low setting only will produce a tan color.
  • Page 62 Are there any adjustments that can be made, through the control board, to the amount of fuel that is fed into the burnpot? Answer: There are several ways to adjust the amount of fuel that is fed into the burnpot. The feed rates can be fine-tuned while the Stove is in operation by pressing and holding the “Auger Feed”...
