3.6.2 EARLY SIGNS OF AN OVERFIRED FURNACE
If you see a lazy, very high orange flame inside the firebox, it may be a signed thatyour furnace is overfired and
getting too hot. Under normal conditions, the flame should be about 12 inches high and it should be lively. It should
have a bright, yellow color. Too much restriction in the venting system and a blocked heat exchanger are the
primary causes of an overfired furnace. If the furnace becomes too hot, it will activate the thermistor located on the
exhaust box beside the exhaust blower. If this occurs, a "UNIT OVERHEAT" codewill appear on the LCD display. If
you obtain a "UNIT OVERHEAT" code, it is a sign that your furnace is getting dangerously hot. You need to clean
the heat exchanger and verify the venting system. If you get a "UNIT OVERHEAT" code again, call your dealer.
3.6.3 IF YOUR FURNACE RUNS OUT OF PELLETS
If your furnace runs out of pellets, the fire goes out and the auger motor and blowers will run until the furnace cools
down. This will take a few minutes. After the furnace's components stop running, a warning message "NO FUEL" will
appear on the LCD display.
To restart the furnace, press the "RESET" button, refill the hopper, and press the
button until pellets arrive to the
burn pot. Press the round "ON/OFF" icon on the main status page to start the furnace.
3.6.4 REFUELING
We recommend that you not let the hopper go completely empty. Upon reloading, if the hopper lid stays for open
more than 3 minutes, a warning code ''HOPPER LID OPEN'' will appear on the LCD display. To restart, press the
"RESET" button, and then press the round "ON/OFF" icon on the main status page to start the unit.
KEEP HOPPER LID CLOSED AT ALL TIMES EXCEPT WHEN REFILLING. THE HOPPER MAY BE FILLED
WHILE THE FURNACE IS OPERATING. DO NOT OVERFILL HOPPER.
3.6.5 SHUT DOWN PROCEDURE
Turning your furnace off is a matter of pressing the round "ON/OFF" icon on the main status page. The little flame at
the center of the icon will disappear when the furnace is turned off. The blowers will continue to operate while the
furnace is cooling down.
3.6.6 CHIMNEY FIRES
This might occur when the fire gets extremely hot.
Burning inadequate pellets ignite the creosote residue
accumulated in the evacuation flue system. The usual signs are:
1. Rumbling.
2. The flue gets extremely hot (red).
3. Flames or sparks are coming out of the chimney.
In case of a chimney fire, call your local fire department immediately and sprinkle the roof
around the chimney with water.
Make sure that the furnace door is closed (if necessary, lower the thermostat starting point).
If the fire gets uncontrollable due to an improper use or because the draft is too strong, follow the same procedure
as in a chimney fire.
