Reference Materials

When describing the location of a component, it is always AS YOU FACE THE FRONT OF
A. Component Functions
1. Exhaust Blower
The combustion (exhaust) blower is mounted in the bottom right rear of appliance. The blower is designed to pull the
exhaust from the appliance and push it out through the venting system.
2. Control Board
The control board is located on the right side of appliance. It controls the functioning of the appliance and
communicates with the user interface through the Bluetooth key. The control board can only be replaced by an
authorized dealer.
3. Convection Blower
The convection blower is mounted at the bottom left of the appliance. The convection blower pushes heated air
through the heat exchange system into the room.
4. Feed System
The feed system is located on the right side of the appliance and can be removed as an entire assembly. 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. Reference the parts list for individual parts in feed assembly.
5. Fire pot
The fire pot is made of high quality ductile iron. The floor of the fire pot opens for cleaning and is manually operated
by the homeowner. The floor needs to return to a completely closed position or the appliance will not operate properly.
6. Fuse
The control board fuse will blow should a short occur. The control board will need to be replaced. DO NOT REPLACE
THE FUSE. If the control board fuse blows its TRIAC, that portion of the circuit, will remain closed causing the motor
on that leg to run continuously at high speed.
7. Heat Exchanger
The heat exchanger is located behind the baffle and transfers heat from the exhaust system into the convection air
chamber. Remove the cast iron baffle to access the heat exchanger.
8. Hopper Lid Switch
The hopper lid switch is located on the right side, inside the hopper. It switches the feed motor off if the hopper lid is
open.
9. Igniter (Heating Element)
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.
10. Power Receptacle
The power receptacle is located below the control box on right side. Install the power cord (supplied in the appliance
component pack) to the appliance receptacle. Prior to installing, check the wall receptacle for 120 volt, 60 Hz
(standard current). Make sure the outlet is grounded and has the correct polarity. A good quality surge protector is
highly recommended to protect the appliance electronics.
11. Overheat Snap Discs
There are two overheat snap discs located within the electro-mechanical cavity of the appliance. One is mounted on
the back of the drop tube in the center of the appliance; the other is mounted in the RH side between the firebox and
cast side panel. Both snap discs have a reset button. If the fire tries to burn back into the feed system, the drop tube
snap disc will shut the appliance down. If there is not enough circulation from the convection blower the second snap
disc will shut the feed system off. Either sensor must be manually re-set if tripped. Disconnect power before resetting.
