PROBLEM
? Fire goes out or stove shuts down
automatically.
? Fuel will not feed.
? Furnace runs for 30 minutes and then
shuts down.
? Blower will not shut off after the fuel
has been switched off and the stove has
cooled down.

ducting system was not installed properly. If the ducting system is correct, the venting system balanced and the fuel is clean
and dry, the furnace will operate as designed.
