Reference Materials

A. Component Functions
1. Control Box
a. The control box is located on lower right side of
appliance, on top of the junction box.
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 6 blinks every 10 seconds for 60
seconds (depending upon setting) 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 air through the heat
exchange system into the room.
3. Exhaust Blower
The exhaust blower is mounted on the right side of the
appliance behind the right side panel. The exhaust 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 behind the firebox 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 at a set rate. The feed motor
starts and stops every 7 seconds.
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 side of the junction box near the
red call light. The fuse will blow should a short occur and
shut off power to the appliance.
7. Heat Exchangers
The heat exchangers transfer heat from the exhaust
system into convection air. 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 lower right side of
firebox, behind the front access door and above the reset
button. 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,
outside 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 lower right side of the
appliance, behind the left front access door. 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 top of the junction box by the
fuse. 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 lower right side of firebox
in behind the access door and below the heat output
control switch. The function of the switch 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, if present, should be set on the lowest
setting available.
