The draft and room air blower speed varies with each feed rate. The “Draft Trim” button will override the
variable fan function +/- 5 volts on all heat levels. To override, press and hold the “Draft Trim” button along
with the heat level button arrow up or heat level button arrow down, depending on desired change.
The auger feed rate on each setting is pre-programmed but may be changed if necessary. The “Auger Trim”
button will override the programmed feed rates by +/-5% on all heat levels. To override the feed rate press and
hold the ‘Auger Trim’ button along with the heat level button arrow up or heat level button arrow down,
depending on desired change.
NOTE: In case of a power outage or interruption lasting longer than 5 seconds, the “On/Off” button must be
pushed and held for app. 6 seconds to re-engage the auger. If needed re-light the unit.
NOTE: If the fire is burning too fast and the fuel is being burned up too quickly, turn the air intake butterfly
damper closed a little to slow the fire down. This should be done in small 1/4” increments so that the fire doesn’t
change too quickly. You can also adjust the draft or auger trim to balance out the burn rate.
NOTE: When changing the heat levels there will be a delay so the system can complete the cycle before switching
to the new heat level.
NOTE: In case of a power outage, the pressure switch has tripped, the door has been opened, the hopper door has
been left open or any power interruption lasting longer than 5 seconds, the “On/Off” button must be pushed and
held for app. 6 seconds (or until you here a click) to re-engage the auger system.
IMPORTANT: The circuit board will not function properly if the outlet is not a constant 120 volt, 60 cycle power
source. The outlet must be grounded properly and have the correct polarity. A polarity and ground tester can be
picked up at any hardware store to assure proper operation. If you are using a power generator, solar power or
wind generation make sure that you have a constant correct power source.
The unit’s electrical warranty would become void if a constant power source is not available. Also make sure that
a proper surge protector is between the unit and the power source. The circuit board will not be warranted if
there is not a surge protector installed to the unit.
It is strongly recommended that you unplug the power source during times when the unit is not being operated to
protect the unit from power surges, power spikes and drops in power. It is very common for a circuit board to
work when the unit is shut off in the spring and then won’t work in the fall. Unplugging the unit will prevent this
from happening.
