9 Power Outage
During a power outage, the stove will shut down safely. It will not automatically restart when the
power returns, unless the exhaust is still up to temperature (see “Lighting Instructions”). If you have
the 12V DC battery hooked up, the system will continue to operate.
9 Overheating
A high temperature switch will automatically shut down the stove if it overheats. The stove will need
to be manually re-lit. Allow 45 minutes before re-lighting.
9 Auger Cut-Off (Stove Pressure Sensor Switch)
A blocked flue, a down draft, failure to clean the top heat exchangers or venting, negative pressure in
the home or opening the front door will automatically shut off the auger feed and the unit will go into
a shut down mode. To resume safe proper operation, the cause of the shut down will have to be
determined and fixed. Restart the appliance using the Lighting instructions.
If the unit continually shuts down for no apparent reason and you do not have adequate make up air to
your home, you will have to install a proper make up air system in your home. NOTE: Even if you
have make up air hooked to the unit you need additional make up air provided for the rest of
the home or the make up air for the unit will be sucked out of the unit and into the home. First
evidence of this happening is fly ash or soot in the home or smoke coming out of the unit. A
quick test to see if this is a problem is to open a window in the room with the unit and see if the
unit operates properly. If the unit runs fine with the window open you will need to install make
up air to the home.
WARNING: NEGATIVE PRESSURE IN THE HOME IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND YOU
NEED TO HAVE A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN INSPECT YOUR HOME TO SEE IF IT
NEEDS ADDITIONAL MAKE UP AIR.
If the unit door is opened, the door safety switch will shut the auger feed off. If you do not close
the door quickly and push the “start/manual feed” switch to re-activate the auger, the unit will
shut down.
9 The Avent Wood Pellet stove can be installed with and operated by a wall-mounted thermostat.
However, a wall thermostat is not provided with the stove. A wall thermostat can be purchased from
your reseller or at most home improvement centers or hardware stores. The wall thermostat needs to
be for a low voltage system. Note: Use only a low voltage mercury or bi-metal thermostat switch.
Most thermostats will have instructions with them as to where to place them in your room but you
